Hi, Thanks for your response. Adding few more points. The patch mentioned above is making a difference. as part of open. iomem file inode is being used for address space than sysfs file. For this reason mapping is still intact in spite of removing sysfs nodes.(/sys/bus/pci/device/.../resource0). To support "CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM", revoking iomem like it is done for /dev/mem, it is being done for sysfs path as well. which is a way to map BAR to the user space and access it.
