The size argument to ioremap_nocache should be the size of desired
information, not the pointer to it.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@expression@
expression *x;
@@

x =
<+...
-sizeof(x)

Thanks for pointing out the bug.

mmio_regs is initialized to NULL at the top of the function so *mmio_regs wouldn't be
a good idea. Instead of sizeof(*mmio_regs) use pci_resource_len(pcidev, BAR_0). If
you can recreate the patch with this change I will ack it.

Thanks,

When you say that it isn't a good idea, do you mean that the result is
wrong, or that it looks odd? I didn't think sizeof looked at the value,
but only at the type?

I misspoke on the problem. Mmio_regs is declared as a void pointer:

void __iomem *mmio_regs = NULL;

Thus pci_resource_len(pcidev, BAR_0) is the correct fix.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I will make another patch later today.
