[PATCH v2] PCI: sysfs: Reject unaligned resource I/O port accesses
From: Deepanshu Kartikey
Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 09:02:02 EST
pci_resource_io() validates that the requested port lies within the
BAR but never checks that it 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 2- and 4-byte accesses before they reach the
low-level accessor. With natural alignment enforced, an access that
starts inside the BAR cannot extend past its end, so drop the
port + count - 1 range check.

v2: Check alignment per access size in the case 2/case 4 branches
instead of using IS_ALIGNED() with a user-controlled count, and
drop the now-redundant port + count - 1 range check.
