From 192d7a4667c6d11d1a174ec4cad9a3c5d5f9043c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:53:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomem When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type "cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct resource are uninitialized. Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it, not the responsibility of request_resource functuion. After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: David S.
