Subject: [PATCH] x86: mm: refer to the intended config STRICT_DEVMEM in a comment
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2021 13:53:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211222125347.13054-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit a4866aa81251 ("mm: Tighten x86 /dev/mem with zeroing reads") adds a
comment to the function devmem_is_allowed() referring to a non-existing
config STRICT_IOMEM, whereas the comment very likely intended to refer to
the config STRICT_DEVMEM, as the commit adds some behavior for the config
STRICT_DEVMEM.
Most of the initial analysis was actually done by Dave Hansen in the
email thread below (see Link).
Refer to the intended and existing config STRICT_DEVMEM.
