4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Joerg Roedel <[email protected]> commit e3d5092b6756b9e0b08f94bbeafcc7afe19f0996 upstream. The on-stack resource-window 'win' in setup_res() is not properly initialized. This causes the pointers in the embedded 'struct resource' to contain stale addresses. These pointers (in my case the ->child pointer) later get propagated to the global iomem_resources list, causing a #GP exception when the list is traversed in iomem_map_sanity_check().
