[PATCH v2] net: starfire: fix ioaddr sign-extension causing ioremap() failure
From: Ivy Lopez
Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 18:58:17 EST
ioaddr is declared as a signed long, but is assigned the result of
pci_resource_start(), which returns an unsigned resource_size_t.
On configurations where the BAR address has its high bit set, the
value sign-extends when passed to ioremap(), producing a bogus
64-bit address and causing device probe to fail:
ioremap: invalid physical address fffffffffe480000
starfire 0000:08:04.0: cannot Remap 0x80000 @ 0xfe480000, aborting
Change ioaddr to resource_size_t, matching both the return type of
pci_resource_start() and the type ioremap() expects for its physical
address argument, rather than unsigned long, which is not guaranteed
to be wide enough on all configurations. Switch the associated error
print to %pa accordingly.

v2: use resource_size_t instead of unsigned long, and switch the
error print to %pa, per Simon Horman's review.
