Description

Currently specification consider functions from asm-generic/io.h.

But this kind of resource (iomemory) also can be allocated/deallocated by functions from linux/pci.h (pci_io*).

E.g., absence of pci_ioremap_bar() leads to false positive in drivers/net/tg3.ko, 2.6.33.

Updated by Evgeny Novikov about 7 years ago

  • Priority changed from Urgent to High

Let's fix and improve specifications after we will have good tests and a testing infrastructure (version:0.3) and likely after we will complete a considerable refactoring of Core (1.0).
