Userspace code using uio_pci_generic may enable bus-mastering by directly manipulating a PCI device's command register. If a userspace program enables bus-mastering but exits/crashes uncleanly, bus- mastering will still be enabled and stale DMA addresses may be programmed and live in the device. Disable bus-mastering unconditionally on last close of a UIO PCI fd to avoid this. If the device did not have bus-mastering enabled, pci_clear_master() is a no-op.

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.
