The size calculation is done incorrectly here because it should include both the start and end (end - start + 1). It's easiest to just use resource_size() which does the right thing. I was worried there was something non-standard going on because the printk() subtracts "end - 1", but the rest of the file uses the normal resource size calculations. This function is only called from fsl_rio_setup() in arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c and the calculation there is also: port->iores.start = law_start; port->iores.end = law_start + law_size - 1; So I think this is the correct fix.

Detects RIO link to the already enumerated device and properly sets links between device objects. Changes to the enumeration/discovery logic: 1. Use Master Enable bit to signal end of the enumeration - agents may start their discovery process as soon as they see this bit set (Component Tag register was used before for this purpose). 2. Enumerator sets Component Tag (!= 0) immediately during device setup. This allows to identify the device if the redundant route exists in a RIO system. Signed-off-by:

This set of RapidIO patches extends support for standard error recovery mechanism and adds new IDT Gen2 sRIO switch devices - CPS-1848 and CPS-1616. Implementation of the standard error-stopped state recovery mechanism (as defined by the RapidIO specification) is required for the new switches. Version 2 of this set of patches addresses received comments and fixes an error notification setup issue found in the idt_gen2.c after the first version was released. This patch: Make RapidIO devices appear in /sys/devices/rapidio directory instead of top of /sys/devices directory. Signed-off-by:

The original RapidIO driver suppose there is only one mpc85xx RIO controller in system. So, some data structures are defined as mpc85xx_rio global, such as 'regs_win', 'dbell_ring', 'msg_tx_ring'. Now, I changed them to mport's private members. And you can define multi RIO OF-nodes in dts file for multi RapidIO controller in one processor, such as PCI/PCI-Ex host controllers in Freescale's silicon. And the mport operation function declaration should be changed to know which RapidIO controller is target. Signed-off-by:

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either. What I do: Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes. In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work. But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods. I'm not sure if I missed any. :( Why I do this: For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the struct attribute in the .show/.store method, while we can't do this for the binary attributes. I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones. So I think this patch is reasonable. :) Who benefits from it: The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs requires such an improvement. All the table binary attributes share the same .read method. Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get the table signature and instance number which are used to distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes. Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods for different ACPI table binary attributes. This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded. Signed-off-by:
