region_intersects: determine intersection of region with known resources
NAME
region_intersects - determine intersection of region with known resources
SYNOPSIS
-
int region_intersects(resource_size_t
start, size_t size, unsigned long flags, unsigned long desc);
ARGUMENTS
start
-
- region start address
size
- size of region
flags
- flags of resource (in iomem_resource)
desc
- descriptor of resource (in iomem_resource) or IORES_DESC_NONE
DESCRIPTION
Check if the specified region partially overlaps or fully eclipses a resource identified by flags and desc (optional with IORES_DESC_NONE). Return REGION_DISJOINT if the region does not overlap flags/desc, return REGION_MIXED if the region overlaps flags/desc and another resource, and return REGION_INTERSECTS if the region overlaps flags/desc and no other defined resource. Note that REGION_INTERSECTS is also returned in the case when the specified region overlaps RAM and undefined memory holes.
region_intersect is used by memory remapping functions to ensure the user is not remapping RAM and is a vast speed up over walking through the resource table page by page.
