[PATCH] PCI: Fix unmasked value in pci_generic_config_write32()

From: Mohamad Raizudeen

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 04:07:01 EST


When writing less than 4 bytes, pci_generic_config_write32() uses a
read-modify-write sequence to protect adjacent bytes. The code comment
states the goal is to "merge in the <size> bits we intend to write".

However the code does not mask the incoming 'val' before shifting it.
Since the function 'pci_generic_config_write32()' accepts a 'u32', a
caller could pass a value with extra bits set outside the intended write
size, those extra bits will shift into the adjacent bytes and corrupt them.

Fix this my masking 'val' before the shift so only the target bytes are
written. This makes the code do what the comment says and matches the
read function, pci_generic_config_read32().
