Message-ID: <4DF117B8.8080408@gmx.net> Date: Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:58:00 +0200 From: Witold Szczeponik <Witold.Szczeponik@....net> To: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@...blig.org> CC: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: 'flags' in rsparser.c change from 'register disabled resources' patch Hi David, your observation is correct. In fact, the patch can be simplified by not setting the IORESOURCE_DISABLED flag at all, which is functionally equivalent to the current state where the compiler removes this value because it cannot be assigned to a char. A quick compare of the generated code of the current version (with IORESOURCE_DISABLED included) and with IORESOURCE_DISABLED not used at all yields pretty much the same code. I realized the problem only days after I submitted my patch. Apparently, a follow-up patch which takes care of the IORESOURCE_DISABLED flags did not make it into the mainline kernel. I'll resend it as a response to this post shortly. In addition, in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/31/50 I submitted a much simpler version of the patch which better exposes the change it introduces but requires 29df8d8f8702f0f53c1375015f09f04bc8d023c1 to be reverted. --- Witold -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
