From 29d274b8d3e2404cd1832b3a999b12f9d1e1d895 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 16:41:04 +0200 Subject: x86/simplefb: Mark framebuffer mem-resources as IORESOURCE_BUSY to avoid bootup warning IORESOURCE_BUSY is used to mark temporary driver mem-resources instead of global regions. This suppresses warnings if regions overlap with a region marked as BUSY. This was always the case for VESA/VGA/EFI framebuffer regions so do the same for simplefb regions. The reason we do this is to allow device handover to real GPU drivers like i915/radeon/nouveau which get the same regions via PCI BARs. Maybe at some point we will be able to unregister platform devices properly during the handover. In this case the simplefb region would get removed before the new region is created. However, this is currently not the case and would require rather huge changes in remove_conflicting_framebuffers(). Add the BUSY marker now and try to eventually rewrite the handover for a next release. Also see kernel/resource.c for more information: /* * if a resource is "BUSY", it's not a hardware resource * but a driver mapping of such a resource; we don't want * to warn for those; some drivers legitimately map only * partial hardware resources. (example: vesafb) */ This suppresses warnings like: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 199 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:171 __ioremap_caller+0x2e3/0x390() Info: mapping multiple BARs.
