From: Julia Lawall <julia at diku.dk> Use the function resource_size, which reduces the chance of introducing off-by-one errors in calculating the resource size. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ struct resource *res; @@ - (res->end - res->start) + 1 + resource_size(res) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia at diku.dk> --- drivers/hwmon/pc87427.c | 6 +++--- drivers/hwmon/vt1211.c | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/hwmon/pc87427.c b/drivers/hwmon/pc87427.c --- a/drivers/hwmon/pc87427.c 2009-01-09 22:41:01.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/hwmon/pc87427.c 2009-07-04 21:38:15.000000000 +0200 @@ -435,7 +435,7 @@ static int __devinit pc87427_probe(struc /* This will need to be revisited when we add support for temperature and voltage monitoring. */ res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IO, 0); - if (!request_region(res->start, res->end - res->start + 1, DRVNAME)) { + if (!request_region(res->start, resource_size(res), DRVNAME)) { err = -EBUSY; dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to request region 0x%lx-0x%lx\n", (unsigned long)res->start, (unsigned long)res->end); @@ -475,7 +475,7 @@ exit_remove_files: sysfs_remove_group(&pdev->dev.kobj, &pc87427_group_fan[i]); } exit_release_region: - release_region(res->start, res->end - res->start + 1); + release_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); exit_kfree: platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); kfree(data); @@ -500,7 +500,7 @@ static int __devexit pc87427_remove(stru kfree(data); res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IO, 0); - release_region(res->start, res->end - res->start + 1); + release_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); return 0; } diff -u -p a/drivers/hwmon/vt1211.c b/drivers/hwmon/vt1211.c --- a/drivers/hwmon/vt1211.c 2009-03-02 11:33:15.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/hwmon/vt1211.c 2009-07-04 21:38:17.000000000 +0200 @@ -1136,7 +1136,7 @@ static int __devinit vt1211_probe(struct } res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IO, 0); - if (!request_region(res->start, res->end - res->start + 1, DRVNAME)) { + if (!request_region(res->start, resource_size(res), DRVNAME)) { err = -EBUSY; dev_err(dev, "Failed to request region 0x%lx-0x%lx\n", (unsigned long)res->start, (unsigned long)res->end); @@ -1209,7 +1209,7 @@ EXIT_DEV_REMOVE: dev_err(dev, "Sysfs interface creation failed (%d)\n", err); EXIT_DEV_REMOVE_SILENT: vt1211_remove_sysfs(pdev); - release_region(res->start, res->end - res->start + 1); + release_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); EXIT_KFREE: platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); kfree(data); @@ -1228,7 +1228,7 @@ static int __devexit vt1211_remove(struc kfree(data); res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IO, 0); - release_region(res->start, res->end - res->start + 1); + release_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); return 0; }
