commit254a4cd50bupstream. The pmem driver does not honor a forced read-only setting for very long: $ blockdev --setro /dev/pmem0 $ blockdev --getro /dev/pmem0 1 followed by various commands like these: $ blockdev --rereadpt /dev/pmem0 or $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/pmem0 results in this in the kernel serial log: nd_pmem namespace0.0: region0 read-write, marking pmem0 read-write with the read-only setting lost: $ blockdev --getro /dev/pmem0 0 That's from bus.c nvdimm_revalidate_disk(), which always applies the setting from nd_region (which is initially based on the ACPI NFIT NVDIMM state flags not_armed bit). In contrast, commit20bd1d026a("scsi: sd: Keep disk read-only when re-reading partition") fixed this issue for SCSI devices to preserve the previous setting if it was set to read-only. This patch modifies bus.c to preserve any previous read-only setting. It also eliminates the kernel serial log print except for cases where read-write is changed to read-only, so it doesn't print read-only to read-only non-changes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
