Yeah, I'm not a fan of that name either but I was just moving code over and 
couldn't come up with anything better :)

It is a boolean question though - it is checking to see if resource *p is the 
same type (flags+desc) of region as what is being checked for intersection.

Good point. schedule() does get called but the lock is dropped first:

		if (conflict->flags & flags & IORESOURCE_MUXED) {
			add_wait_queue(&muxed_resource_wait, &wait);
			write_unlock(&resource_lock);
			set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
			schedule();
			remove_wait_queue(&muxed_resource_wait, &wait);
			write_lock(&resource_lock);
			continue;
		}

This isn't an issue though as it's only used for request_muxed_region() which 
isn't used for the ZONE_DEVICE allocation and by design doesn't search for 
free space. Ie. IORESOURCE_MUXED will never be set for 
request_free_mem_region().

This is the name of original function, so this is just maintaining the 
original behaviour by taking the lock and calling the inner function 
(request_region_locked) rather than having it coded directly there.

__request_region() is rarely called directly and is mostly called via macros:

include/linux/ioport.h:#define request_region(start,n,name)             
__request_region(&ioport_resource, (start), (n), (name), 0)
include/linux/ioport.h:#define request_muxed_region(start,n,name)       
__request_region(&ioport_resource, (start), (n), (name), IORESOURCE_MUXED)
include/linux/ioport.h:#define __request_mem_region(start,n,name, excl) 
__request_region(&iomem_resource, (start), (n), (name), excl)
include/linux/ioport.h:#define request_mem_region(start,n,name) 
__request_region(&iomem_resource, (start), (n), (name), 0)
