[PATCH v2 0/2] vfio/pci: Fix issues with qword access

From: Kevin Tian

Date: Thu Dec 18 2025 - 03:14:28 EST


Certain devices (e.g. Intel X710) don't support qword access to the
rom bar, otherwise PCI aer errors are observed. Fix it by disabling
the qword access to the rom bar.

While at it, also restrict accesses to the legacy VGA resource to
dword. More for paranoia so stable kernel is not CC-ed.

v2:
- Rebase to 6.19-rc1
- Use enum to avoid adding another bool arg (Alex)
- Elaborate the commit msg (Alex)
- New patch to disallow qword access to legacy VGA (Alex)

v1:
