RE: [PATCH] platform: release resource itself instead of resource tree

[Chang, Junxiao]

Any update?

This issue could be reproduced in one intel platform. To simulate the issue, adding following code could reproduce the issue.
Without the fix, device 2's resource will be released but the device is still registered.
With the fix, by cat /proc/iomem, device 2's resource is still there after device 1 is unregistered, this is expected.

Any comment is welcome, thanks,
Junxiao

Subject: [PATCH] platform: release resource itself instead of resource tree

From: Junxiao Chang <junxiao.chang@xxxxxxxxx>

When platform device is deleted or there is error in adding device, platform device resources should be released. Currently API release_resource is used to release platform device resources.
However, this API releases not only platform resource itself but also its child resources. It might release resources which are still in use. Calling remove_resource only releases current resource itself, not resource tree, it moves its child resources to up level.

For example, platform device 1 and device 2 are registered, then only device 1 is unregistered in below code:

  ...
  // Register platform test device 1, resource 0xfed1a000 ~ 0xfed1afff
  pdev1 = platform_device_register_full(&pdevinfo1);

  // Register platform test device 2, resource 0xfed1a200 ~ 0xfed1a2ff
  pdev2 = platform_device_register_full(&pdevinfo2);

  // Now platform device 2 resource should be device 1 resource's child

  // Unregister device 1 only
  platform_device_unregister(pdev1);
  ...

Platform device 2 resource will be released as well because its parent resource(device 1's resource) is released, this is not expected.
If using API remove_resource, device 2 resource will not be released.

This change fixed an intel pmc platform device resource issue when intel pmc ipc kernel module is inserted/removed for twice.
