[PATCH 3/3] PCI: Prevent overflow in proc_bus_pci_write()

From: Ziming Du

Date: Tue Dec 16 2025 - 03:26:45 EST


When the value of ppos over the INT_MAX, the pos will be
set a negtive value which will be pass to get_user() or
pci_user_write_config_dword(). And unexpected behavior
such as a softlock happens:

Fix this by use unsigned int for the pos.
