[PATCH] PCI: sysfs: Reject unaligned resource I/O port accesses

From: Deepanshu Kartikey

Date: Sun Aug 09 2026 - 01:00:00 EST


pci_resource_io() validates that off+count stays within the BAR's
range but never checks that the resulting port is aligned to the
access size. A pwrite64()/pread64() on a resourceN file with an odd
offset and count=2 or count=4 reaches outw()/outl() with a misaligned
address. On arm64 this becomes a store/load to a Device-memory
mapping (PCI_IOBASE + port), which architecturally requires natural
alignment, causing an alignment fault and kernel oops.

Reject misaligned accesses before they reach the low-level accessor.
