[PATCH] resource: fix an error which walks through iomem resources

From: Lianbo Jiang
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 02:20:55 EST


When we walk through iomem resources by calling walk_iomem_res_desc(), the
values of the function parameter may be modified in the while loop of __walk
_iomem_res_desc(), which will cause us to not get the desired result in some
cases.

At present, it only restores the original value of res->end, but it doesn't
restore the original value of res->flags in the while loop of __walk_iomem
_res_desc(). Whenever the find_next_iomem_res() finds a resource and returns
the result, the original values of this resource will be modified, which might
lead to an error in the next loop. For example:

The original value of resource flags is: res->flags=0x80000200(initial value)

p->flags _ 0x81000200 _ _ 0x80000200 _
/ \ / \
|________|_______A________|____|_....._|______B_________|......___|
0 0xffffffff
(memory address ranges)

Note: if ((p->flags & res->flags) != res->flags) continue;

When the resource A is found, the original value of this resource flags will
be changed to 0x81000200(res->flags=0x81000200), and continue to look for the
next resource, when the loop reaches resource B, it can not get the resource B
any more(you can refer to the for loop of find_next_iomem_res()), because the
value of conditional expression will become true and will also jump the resource
B. In fact, we should get the resource A and B when we walk through the whole
tree, but it only gets the resource A, the resource B is missed.
