From 5de1cb2d0f1c1e5475d2bedf65b76828f8cdde22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Shijie Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:34:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/resource.c: handle reinsertion of an already-inserted resource If the same resource is inserted to the resource tree (maybe not on purpose), a dead loop will be created. In this situation, The kernel does not report any warning or error :( The command below will show a endless print. #cat /proc/iomem [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add WARN_ON()] Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Cc: Jesse Barnes Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/resource.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/resource.c b/kernel/resource.c index 7b36976e5dea..9c9841cb6902 100644 --- a/kernel/resource.c +++ b/kernel/resource.c @@ -453,6 +453,8 @@ static struct resource * __insert_resource(struct resource *parent, struct resou if (first == parent) return first; + if (WARN_ON(first == new)) /* duplicated insertion */ + return first; if ((first->start > new->start) || (first->end < new->end)) break; -- 2.20.1
