#1540121 — [V2] mtd: devices: docg3:- Handle return value of devm_ioremap.

Here, If devm_ioremap will fail. It will return NULL.
Kernel can run into a NULL-pointer dereference.

Um, return -ENOMEM right away ?

How about going even further and doing the following?
This way you can drop the test on rres (it's done for you in
devm_ioremap_resource()), and you can directly return the error
returned by devm_ioremap_resource().

There is problem, if you will use devm_ioremap_resource instead of 
devm_ioremap,
than devm_ioremap_resource will call request_mem_region().
request_mem_region() allows to tell the kernel that this driver is going 
to use
this range of I/O addresses, which will prevent other drivers to make an
overlapping call to request_mem_region If other driver want to use same 
address
space to access then it will not allow. Means we can not share same 
address space
between two driver.

Thanks

Hi,

You're right Arvind, and still, it's worth noticing that the docg3 access
semantics imply a "reserved" resource path (see how doc_register_readb() does a
write and how this cannot be shared with another driver).

Therefore I'll be willing to ack a mix of your both patches, the
devm_ioremap_resource() from Boris and the error message from your patch.

Cheers.

devm_ioremap_resource() already prints different error messages
depending on the error type [1], no need to duplicate it.

The question is, is it required here? In general, allowing 2 different
drivers from touching the same iomem region is a bad idea, so, if
there's a reason to allow that here, I'd like to know more about it.

Thanks,

Boris

Hi Boris,

Yes, It's possible that two driver can use same iomem region.
For example you can check
commit id - : 33cf75656923ff11d67a937a4f8e9344f58cea77

Here, It's not required.

Thanks
-Arvind
