commit a7e1f67ed29f ("x86/msr: Filter MSR writes") introduces a module parameter to disable writing to msr device file (and add_taint() upon writing). As msr register can be written by X86_IOC_WRMSR_REGS ioctl too, they should be applied to the ioctl as well.
Fixes: a7e1f67ed29f ("x86/msr: Filter MSR writes") Signed-off-by: Misono Tomohiro <misono.tomoh...@jp.fujitsu.com> --- Hello, I just noticed this when I read the code. I'm not sure if anyone uses ioctl interface now, but I tested this by resetting IA32_MPERF by X86_IOC_WRMSR_REGS ioctl.
