[PATCH 1/3] libnvdimm, region : make 'resource' attribute only readable by root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For the same reason that /proc/iomem returns 0's for non-root readers
and acpi tables are root-only, make the 'resource' attribute for region
devices only readable by root. Otherwise we disclose physical address
information.
