Perhaps the correct way would be to copy the resource to a private struct resource and modify that one, leaving pdev->resources untouched. > In addition, I think driver is wasting memory, because on every probe > it will reallocate driver state variable.

Perhaps deferred probe should make sure to destroy the device and add it back later ? Otherwise what's the benefit of using devm_* ? --=20 balbi --8t9RHnE3ZwKMSgU+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJR8kcrAAoJEIaOsuA1yqREp8kP+wcczDmrzV5PvlIEz6uNjTMJ xtrO0PUxWSdoYCFYLW6nf2ArJ2zDGCpiF31Xty6QT0HtwiyXYA7p2J/pmdXSaPfD rTrRiGJ6rFDS3dMbE5TlzufZmBllx83WkjrNyISz7QEUF/DF0Nc8spe+omWEx9Ze 93YIOhj8B7O0vi04FC6eKzTb34zgLDJtPqxv0trsUYUOCVUme9NFX04/9QJCejw+ lzCXqDWydx8ItvZiMADK/YAz6lhn3j4srwVm2iZ8N+xXqM3gyga0R+Cld+7zAVQp 7k3UNVDjceJp612XmgGx84dQUgbx1XlDRxua46I3VfMzNFdkb8zTeqmUbwfhfOGe 9O5q4Y8pin1uyGc8PMrSYDBiFrosprWGULR7ljpEz4X50/wfnEWiTxCSbPeU8EDb Fe5/XK+Zl4K7AEJbmfPHZtThT9Nyu+ejIIXUODshTR1J/7jAKF3BYzaiEQVIeH6F +aDr6RjqG6Cr+8XxF+jn7UCBx7AIVvi+qSYDjY9fNJNudCfgfZv8v+hgqUOow42D 8Bb0+vzSibJ529erxMK7Gae4uPHLuazViqAaANnLghWjwmSisbtM2fjKTfXnys+0 IzqAEDRI9sQ8IGzZZsH2cOmQp/2U5eNzJAKmTYULHOjhL+iUduuyZJ0deBZLB+D2 X5JGxxup5XxJCCFOsP0+ =/Bux -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8t9RHnE3ZwKMSgU+-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
