[PATCH] PCI/proc: check __get_user() return value in proc_bus_pci_write()
From: Deepanshu Kartikey
Date: Fri May 01 2026 - 21:15:01 EST
proc_bus_pci_write() does not check the return value of __get_user().
On a faulting user pointer the extable fixup zeros the destination,
and the function writes those zeros to PCI configuration space.
syzbot exploits this by writev()-ing a NULL iov_base to
/proc/bus/pci/00/03.0 (the virtio-blk controller in the syzkaller VM):
zero is written to the Command register, clearing Bus Master Enable,
and the disk stops responding. In-flight journal writes never complete
and jbd2 hangs in wait_on_buffer() indefinitely.
Check __get_user() and return -EFAULT on failure.
