E.g., with a CoW mapping of a PCI BAR: ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000045623000 - 0x0000000045623fff WARNING: arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:216 at __ioremap_caller.isra.0+0x4c2/0x5f0 Call Trace: generic_access_phys+0x130/0x4d0 mm/memory.c:7178 kernfs_vma_access+0x1ce/0x280 fs/kernfs/file.c:437 __access_remote_vm+0x58f/0x890 mm/memory.c:7256 mem_rw+0x2a1/0x670 fs/proc/base.c:912 But more generically, we should disallow access to anything that looks like ordinary RAM in the system: including allocating memory (e.g., alloc_pages) and mapping them in a VM_PFNMAP. For pages with an online memmap, allow only pages marked as reserved (PageReserved). This also includes memblock allocations, however, distinguishing them from other MMIO is tricky, and nobody should really be mapping them in a PFNMAP (except someone abusing /dev/mem, which we do not care about). So only allow access if there is no online memmap, or if the pages are marked reserved. Reject other pages with -EINVAL. Note that, just like other pfn_to_online_page() users, we won't care about concurrent memory offlining; mapping memory that can concurrently get offlined is highly dubious.
