Subject: [PATCH] PCI/sysfs: Add lockdown checks to legacy I/O and memory handlers
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:15:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720211541.1509744-1-kwilczynski@kernel.org> (raw)

Currently, the legacy I/O and memory sysfs handlers do not
check security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS), leaving the
legacy_io and legacy_mem files unprotected when the kernel is
locked down.

Commit eb627e17727e ("PCI: Lock down BAR access when the
kernel is locked down") added the check to pci_write_config(),
pci_mmap_resource(), and pci_write_resource_io() to prevent
userspace from programming DMA-capable hardware that could be
used to modify kernel code, but did not cover the legacy
handlers.

As a result, root can still write arbitrary I/O ports and map
the legacy I/O and memory spaces while the kernel is locked
down, which is the same capability the lockdown is meant to
remove.

Thus, add the same check to pci_write_legacy_io(),
pci_mmap_legacy_mem(), and pci_mmap_legacy_io().

These generic handlers cover both architectures that
define HAVE_PCI_LEGACY (such as Alpha and PowerPC).

Fixes: eb627e17727e ("PCI: Lock down BAR access when the kernel is locked down")
