/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the region
Close the hole of holding a mapping over kernel driver takeover event of a given address range. Commit 90a545e98126 ("restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges") introduced CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM with the goal of protecting the kernel against scenarios where a /dev/mem user tramples memory that a kernel driver owns. However, this protection only prevents *new* read(), write() and mmap() requests. Established mappings prior to the driver calling request_mem_region() are left alone. Especially with persistent memory, and the core kernel metadata that is stored there, there are plentiful scenarios for a /dev/mem user to violate the expectations of the driver and cause amplified damage. Teach request_mem_region() to find and shoot down active /dev/mem mappings that it believes it has successfully claimed for the exclusive use of the driver. Effectively a driver call to request_mem_region() becomes a hole-punch on the /dev/mem device. The typical usage of unmap_mapping_range() is part of truncate_pagecache() to punch a hole in a file, but in this case the implementation is only doing the "first half" of a hole punch. Namely it is just evacuating current established mappings of the "hole", and it relies on the fact that /dev/mem establishes mappings in terms of absolute physical address offsets. Once existing mmap users are invalidated they can attempt to re-establish the mapping, or attempt to continue issuing read(2) / write(2) to the invalidated extent, but they will then be subject to the CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM checking that can block those subsequent accesses.
