This should be a pointer of struct resource and declared as static, such
as:

static struct resource *bootmem_resource_free;

I second with Johannes.

I prefer to keep memset() outside of the spin lock.

spin_lock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
if (..) {
        :
        spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
        memset(res, 0, sizeof(struct resource));
} else {
        spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
        res = kzalloc(sizeof(struct resource), flags);
}

Thanks,
