7

SYNOPSIS

9       int __check_region(struct resource * parent, resource_size_t start,
10                          resource_size_t n);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       parent
14           parent resource descriptor
15
16       start
17           resource start address
18
19       n
20           resource region size
21

DESCRIPTION

23       Returns 0 if the region is free at the moment it is checked, returns
24       -EBUSY if the region is busy.
25

NOTE

27       This function is deprecated because its use is racy. Even if it returns
28       0, a subsequent call to request_region may fail because another driver
29       etc. just allocated the region. Do NOT use it. It will be removed from
30       the kernel.
