From: MAEDA Naoaki <maeda.naoaki@jp.fujitsu.com> I am testing PCI hot-plug in 2.6.2 kernel, but sometimes a struct resource tree in kernel/resource.c was broken if multiple hot-plug requests are issued at the same time. The reason is lots of drivers call release_region() on hot removal, and __release_region(), which is invoked by release_region() macro, changes the tree without holding a writer lock for resource_lock. I think __release_region() must hold a writer lock as well as __request_region() does. A following patch fixes the issue in my environment.
