Subject: [PATCH] kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in
__request_region()
In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is
detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be
released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up
this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region.
A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for
example the conflicting resource have already been freed). Another
problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a
remaining conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a
parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the
children of this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely
to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict.
Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to
__request_region().
As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the
case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.
