Currently we only free the allocated resource struct when error.
This would cause memory leak after pci_free_resource_list.

I think I see the problem here. The release path is this:

pci_release_host_bridge_dev
pci_free_resource_list
resource_list_free
list_for_each_entry_safe(entry, tmp, head, node)
resource_list_destroy_entry
resource_list_del
resource_list_free_entry
kfree(entry)

but that frees only the struct resource_entry, not the struct resource
pointed to by entry->res. Is that right?
right, that's the leak.


And this patch solves it for of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources() by
always making entry->res point to entry->__res, which is an element in
struct resource_entry, so it's sufficient to free the resource_entry.

The memory management here is pretty tangled. I wonder if there's
some way to simplify it so it's easier to make sure everybody does it
correctly. For example, could we remove the entry->res pointer
completely and force everybody to use entry->__res?
i've tried something like this in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9638003/

but it turns out there are a few codes trying to use shared resources(entry->res pointer point to some common resources), for example:

./arch/tile/kernel/pci.c:307: pci_add_resource(&resources, &ioport_resource);
./arch/tile/kernel/pci.c:308: pci_add_resource(&resources, &iomem_resource);

so i tried to use IORESOURCE_AUTO to handle non-common(private) resources.


and i saw drivers/pnp/manager.c tried to handle something like this too, by manually free resources marked as IORESOURCE_AUTO:
static void pnp_clean_resource_table(struct pnp_dev *dev)
{
struct pnp_resource *pnp_res, *tmp;

list_for_each_entry_safe(pnp_res, tmp, &dev->resources, list) {
if (pnp_res->res.flags & IORESOURCE_AUTO)
pnp_free_resource(pnp_res);
}
}

If we make this change, there are no callers of
resource_list_create_entry() that supply a non-NULL "res", so
we could remove that argument completely.
