Currently when we request an IO port region, the request is made directly

There is an issue here, in that drivers may request an IO port region even
if the IO port region has not even been mapped in (in pci_remap_iospace()).

This may lead to crashes when the PCI host has not enumerated prior to
accessing the IO port region, as below:

This issue was originally reported in [1].

This patch changes the functionality of request_region() to request a
region of the direct children of the top ioport_resource.

In this, if the IO port region has not been mapped for a particular IO
region, a suitable child region will not exist, and, as such,
request_region() calls will fail.

A side note: there are many drivers in the kernel which fail to even call
request_region() prior to IO port accesses, and they also need to be fixed
(to call request_region() as appropriate).


Hi Guenter,


Isn't that orthogonal to this problem ?

Yes, it is really. I only added the f71805f driver fixup to illustrate the problem in resource.c and the potential system crash, and how this patch would fix it.

I can't comment on the merits of the patch (though I am a bit concerned
about its impact and potential source of regressions),but I don't really
understand why it would only apply to request_region() and not to
request_muxed_region(). Is this an oversight or on purpose ?

It's an oversight, which would be fixed.

Thanks,
John
