something I am wondering about is whether we can't simply do: viaparinfo->memsize = pci_resource_len(pdev, 0); I suppose that this is not possible meaning that the pci len can be longer than the actual memory but I just wanted to use the moment to make sure.
That would make sense. But if somebody who is closer to the hardware than I am doesn't take that approach, I'm nervous about changing it. Harald?
This function was not designed to return an error (memsize is not checked). Either return a default value (let's say 8MB) or add a check for memsize.
That's a good point. I put in a check. Thanks, jon
