Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] kernel/resource: Fix locking in request_free_mem_region

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.

However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by the
time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region() another
thread may have already reserved the requested region. This results in
unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from hitting this
condition:

        /*
         * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
         * become unavailable to other users.  Conflicts are
         * not expected.  Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
         */
        if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
                pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
                        conflict->name, conflict, res);

These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls. This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.
