[PATCH 3/3] /dev/mem: Do not map unaccepted memory

Adrian Hunter adrian.hunter at intel.com
Wed Sep 6 00:39:02 PDT 2023


Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby
a virtual machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not map unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to fail.

For /dev/mem, this means a read of unaccepted memory will return zeros,
a write to unaccepted memory will be ignored, but an mmap of unaccepted
memory will return an error.

Fixes: dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory")
