Hi, I use "memtester -p 0x6c80000000000 10G" to test physical address 0x6c80000000000
Because this physical address is invalid, and valid_mmap_phys_addr_range()
always return 1, so it causes crash.
My question is that should the user assure the physical address is valid?

We already seem to be checking range_is_allowed(). What is your
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM setting? The code seems to be rather confusing but
my assumption is that you better know what you are doing when mapping
this file.

HI Michal,
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, and range_is_allowed() will skip memory, but
0x6c80000000000 is not memory, it is just a invalid address, so it cause
crash.
You mean the user should assure the physical address is valid, right?

OK, I only now looked at the value. It is beyond addressable limit
(for 47b address space). None of the checks seems to stop this because
range_is_allowed() resp. its devmem_is_allowed() will allow it as a
non RAM (!page_is_ram check). I am not really sure how to fix this or
whether even we should try to fix this particular problem. As I've said
/dev/mem is dangerous and you should better know what you are doing when
accessing it.
