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.

[PATCH 42/65] resource: Move devmem revoke code to resource framework
PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem :
