3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8d84b18f5678d3adfdb9375dfb0d968da2dc753d upstream. devm_ioremap_resource() prefers calling devm_request_mem_region() with a resource name instead of a device name -- this looks pretty iff a resource name isn't specified via a device tree with a "reg-names" property (in this case, a resource name is set to a device node's full name), but if it is, it doesn't really scale since these names are only unique to a given device node, not globally; so, looking at the output of 'cat /proc/iomem', you do not have an idea which memory region belongs to which device (see "dirmap", "regs", and "wbuf" lines below): 08000000-0bffffff : dirmap 48000000-bfffffff : System RAM 48000000-48007fff : reserved 48080000-48b0ffff : Kernel code 48b10000-48b8ffff : reserved 48b90000-48c7afff : Kernel data bc6a4000-bcbfffff : reserved bcc0f000-bebfffff : reserved bec0e000-bec0efff : reserved bec11000-bec11fff : reserved bec12000-bec14fff : reserved bec15000-bfffffff : reserved e6050000-e605004f : gpio@e6050000 e6051000-e605104f : gpio@e6051000 e6052000-e605204f : gpio@e6052000 e6053000-e605304f : gpio@e6053000 e6054000-e605404f : gpio@e6054000 e6055000-e605504f : gpio@e6055000 e6060000-e606050b : pin-controller@e6060000 e6e60000-e6e6003f : e6e60000.serial e7400000-e7400fff : ethernet@e7400000 ee200000-ee2001ff : regs ee208000-ee2080ff : wbuf I think that devm_request_mem_region() should be called with dev_name() despite the region names won't look as pretty as before (however, we gain more consistency with e.g. the serial driver: 08000000-0bffffff : ee200000.rpc 48000000-bfffffff : System RAM 48000000-48007fff : reserved 48080000-48b0ffff : Kernel code 48b10000-48b8ffff : reserved 48b90000-48c7afff : Kernel data bc6a4000-bcbfffff : reserved bcc0f000-bebfffff : reserved bec0e000-bec0efff : reserved bec11000-bec11fff : reserved bec12000-bec14fff : reserved bec15000-bfffffff : reserved e6050000-e605004f : e6050000.gpio e6051000-e605104f : e6051000.gpio e6052000-e605204f : e6052000.gpio e6053000-e605304f : e6053000.gpio e6054000-e605404f : e6054000.gpio e6055000-e605504f : e6055000.gpio e6060000-e606050b : e6060000.pin-controller e6e60000-e6e6003f : e6e60000.serial e7400000-e7400fff : e7400000.ethernet ee200000-ee2001ff : ee200000.rpc ee208000-ee2080ff : ee200000.rpc Fixes: 72f8c0bfa0de ("lib: devres: add convenience function to remap a resource") Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- lib/devres.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/lib/devres.c +++ b/lib/devres.c @@ -109,7 +109,6 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(devm_iounmap); void __iomem *devm_ioremap_resource(struct device *dev, struct resource *res) { resource_size_t size; - const char *name; void __iomem *dest_ptr; BUG_ON(!dev); @@ -120,9 +119,8 @@ void __iomem *devm_ioremap_resource(stru } size = resource_size(res); - name = res->name ?: dev_name(dev); - if (!devm_request_mem_region(dev, res->start, size, name)) { + if (!devm_request_mem_region(dev, res->start, size, dev_name(dev))) { dev_err(dev, "can't request region for resource %pR\n", res); return IOMEM_ERR_PTR(-EBUSY); }
