We don't want user space to be able to map virtio-mem device memory directly (e.g., via /dev/mem) in order to have guarantees that in a sane setup we'll never accidentially access unplugged memory within the device-managed region of a virtio-mem device, just as required by the virtio-spec. As soon as the virtio-mem driver is loaded, the device region is visible in /proc/iomem via the parent device region. From that point on user space is aware of the device region and we want to disallow mapping anything inside that region (where we will dynamically (un)plug memory) until the driver has been unloaded cleanly and e.g., another driver might take over. By creating our parent IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resource with IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, we will disallow any /dev/mem access to our device region until the driver was unloaded cleanly and removed the parent region. This will work even though only some memory blocks are actually currently added to Linux and appear as busy in the resource tree. So access to the region from user space is only possible a) if we don't load the virtio-mem driver. b) after unloading the virtio-mem driver cleanly. Don't build virtio-mem if access to /dev/mem cannot be restricticted -- if we have CONFIG_DEVMEM=y but CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is not set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
