memory-hotplug : suppres "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning

memory-hotplug : suppres "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning

[Yasuaki Ishimatsu]

When our x86 box calls __remove_pages(), release_mem_region() shows
many warnings. And x86 box cannot unregister iomem_resource.

"Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>"

release_mem_region() has been changed as called in each PAGES_PER_SECTION
chunk since applying a patch(de7f0cba96786c). Because powerpc registers
iomem_resource in each PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk. But when I hot add memory
on x86 box, iomem_resource is register in each _CRS not PAGES_PER_SECTION
chunk. So x86 box unregisters iomem_resource.

The patch fixes the problem.

Hello Dave,

I think following patch works both x86 and ppc. but I'm not ppc
expert. So I'm glad
if you double check it.

thank you.

It is inappropriate that `i' have a signed 32-bit type.  I doubt if
there's any possibility of an overflow bug here, but using a consistent
and well-chosen type would eliminate all doubt.

Note that __remove_pages() does use an unsigned long for this, although
it stupidly calls that variable "i", despite the C programmers'
expectation that a variable called "i" has type "int".

The same applies to `sections_to_remove', but __remove_pages() went and
decided to use an `int' for that variable.  Sigh.

Anyway, please have a think, and see if we can come up with the best
and most accurate choice of types and identifiers in this code.

Your concern is right. Overflow bug may occur in the future.
So I changed type of "i" and "sections_to_remove" to "unsigned long".
Please merge it into your tree instead of previous patch.

__remove_pages() also has same concern. So I'll fix it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When our x86 box calls __remove_pages(), release_mem_region() shows
many warnings. And x86 box cannot unregister iomem_resource.

"Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>"

release_mem_region() has been changed as called in each PAGES_PER_SECTION
chunk since applying a patch(de7f0cba96786c). Because powerpc registers
iomem_resource in each PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk. But when I hot add memory
on x86 box, iomem_resource is register in each _CRS not PAGES_PER_SECTION
chunk. So x86 box unregisters iomem_resource.

The patch fixes the problem.

Too late, the original patch was merged.  So I generated the delta.

I remain allergic to the `i' identifier so I renamed it to `section'. 
That's not 100% accurate, but it is better.

Followups to d760afd4d25 ("memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free

- use unsigned long type, as overflows are conceivable

- rename `i' to the less-misleading and more informative `section'

Subject: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c: section removal cleanups

Followups to d760afd4d25 ("memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free
nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning").

- use unsigned long type, as overflows are conceivable

- rename `i' to the less-misleading and more informative `section'
