[PATCH v2] PCI: sysfs: Reject unaligned resource I/O port accesses
Posted by Deepanshu Kartikey 21 hours ago 
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.

Why fon't these use !IS_ALIGNED() anymore? You can use e.g. sizeof() to 
connect it to the natural alignment of the type so you don't have to use 
literals at all.

That just obfuscates what is going on....
