------------------------------------------------------ From: Akinobu Mita akinobu.mita@gmail.com Subject: resource: fix false warning in __request_region() Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2025 20:26:04 +0900
A warning is raised when __request_region() detects a conflict with a resource whose resource.desc is IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY.
But this warning is only valid for iomem_resources. The hmem device resource uses resource.desc as the numa node id, which can cause spurious warnings.
This warning appeared on a machine with multiple cxl memory expanders. One of the NUMA node id is 6, which is the same as the value of IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY.
In this environment it was just a spurious warning, but when I saw the warning I suspected a real problem so it's better to fix it.
This change fixes this by restricting the warning to only iomem_resource. This also adds a missing new line to the warning message.
