The reason of the loop is, pci_claim_resource() is issued twice with the exactly same resource structure, the first one is called by quirk_io_region() for quirk_ich4_lpc_acpi() at pci_fixup_device() and the second one is called by pcibios_fixup_device_resources(), and in this condition, insert_resource() sets the resource's child pointer to itself. Oviously, it causes the loop. There are a few ways to fix the problem as following, but I'm not sure which one is the best. 1) Do not claim the resource in quirk_io_region(). 2) Put additional check in pcibios_fixup_device_resources() if the resource has already been claimed. 3) Modify insert_resource() not to claim the resource that has already been claimed and return with -EBUSY. Does anybody have comments? Thanks, Naoaki Maeda
