Subject[PATCH] kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()
Date
In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is
detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to
be released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up
this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region. A first
problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for example the
conflicting resource have already been freed). An another problem is
that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a remaining
conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a parameter
and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the children of
this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely to succeed
anyway, even if there is still a conflict. Instead, the parent of the
conflicting resource should be passed to __request_region().

As a fix attempt, this patch don't update the parent resource pointer in
the case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.
