An attempt to freeze DIMMs currently runs afoul of default blocking of all security operations in the entry to the 'store' routine for the 'security' sysfs attribute. The blanket blocking of all security operations while the DIMM is in active use in a region is too restrictive. The only security operations that need to be aware of the ->busy state are those that mutate the state of data, i.e. erase and overwrite. Refactor the ->busy checks to be applied at the entry common entry point in __security_store() rather than each of the helper routines to enable freeze to be run regardless of busy state.

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.
