We seem to be getting a lot of reports like this?

it's a case of having 2 drivers using the same resource at a time
Linus said it's valid, but the patch below (already sent before) should
fix it:

From 1cc2effbb8ce20c2874022d1f141927d9684b705 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 09:12:18 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] resource: Don't warn for driver originated resource structures

Some drivers (vesafb) only map/reserve a portion of a resource.
If then some other driver comes in and maps the whole resource,
the current code WARN_ON's. This is not the intent of the checks
in iomem_map_sanity_check(); rather these checks want to
warn when crossing *hardware* resources only.

This patch skips BUSY resources as suggested by Linus.

Note: having two drivers talk to the same hardware at the same
time is obviously not optimal behavior, but that's a separate story.

i queued up your patch for v2.6.29 a week ago - should it perhaps also be 
marked as Cc: stable? (we can still do it - it's at the tail of the 
tip/core/resources topic branch)

The patch doesn't apply for me, but I've pasted the changes and I will test it now...
Comment 5 Dionisus Torimens 2008-12-22 03:35:38 UTC
It works. No warnings in current git with Arjan's modification (manually applied). I therefore resolve this bug.
