Dan Williams 90a545e981 restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges ... This effectively promotes IORESOURCE_BUSY to IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE semantics by default. If userspace really believes it is safe to access the memory region it can also perform the extra step of disabling an active driver. This protects device address ranges with read side effects and otherwise directs userspace to use the driver. Persistent memory presents a large "mistake surface" to /dev/mem as now accidental writes can corrupt a filesystem. In general if a device driver is busily using a memory region it already informs other parts of the kernel to not touch it via request_mem_region(). /dev/mem should honor the same safety restriction by default. Debugging a device driver from userspace becomes more difficult with this enabled. Any application using /dev/mem or mmap of sysfs pci resources will now need to perform the extra step of either: 1/ Disabling the driver, for example: echo <device id> > /dev/bus/<parent bus>/drivers/<driver name>/unbind 2/ Rebooting with "iomem=relaxed" on the command line 3/ Recompiling with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n Traditional users of /dev/mem like dosemu are unaffected because the first 1MB of memory is not subject to the IO_STRICT_DEVMEM restriction. Legacy X configurations use /dev/mem to talk to graphics hardware, but that functionality has since moved to kernel graphics drivers.
