request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the region. However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region() another thread may have already reserved the requested region. This results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from hitting this condition: /* * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then * become unavailable to other users. Conflicts are * not expected. Warn to aid debugging if encountered. */ if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) { pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR", conflict->name, conflict, res); These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across the two calls. This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior to taking the lock.
