Subject: libnvdimm, region : make 'resource' attribute only readable by root
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
commit b8ff981f88df03c72a4de2f6eaa9ce447a10ac03 upstream.
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.
