# \[PATCH 5.15 164/935\] PCI/proc: Avoid spurious runtime PM wakeup on config space accesses - From: Greg Kroah-Hartman \ - Date: 2026-09-12 18:16:20 - List: stable - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2026/09/17565751 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2026/09/17565548/t/3.md ```text 5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Krzysztof Wilczyński commit 4ff664a81d729b37f2eb65de80a670abfb61c9a0 upstream. Currently, proc_bus_pci_read() and proc_bus_pci_write() do not return early for zero-length configuration space accesses at valid offsets. Such an access invokes pci_config_pm_runtime_get() and pci_config_pm_runtime_put() around transfer blocks that do nothing. This is a problem because pci_config_pm_runtime_get() synchronously resumes the upstream bridge through pm_runtime_get_sync(), and resumes the device itself through pm_runtime_resume() when it is in D3cold, only for the handler to return zero immediately afterwards. Such a spurious wakeup wastes power and adds needless resume latency. The sysfs core already returns early for in-range zero-length binary attribute accesses before pci_read_config() or pci_write_config() is invoked. In contrast, the VFS forwards zero-length requests to the procfs callbacks, where they continue into runtime PM handling. Return early from proc_bus_pci_read() and proc_bus_pci_write() when nbytes is zero, before any runtime PM involvement. The value returned to userspace at these offsets remains zero, so the change is not visible to userspace.
