HID: core: introduce hid_safe_input_report()

2026-05-23T11:07:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 206342541fc887ae919774a43942dc883161fece ]

hid_input_report() is used in too many places to have a commit that
doesn't cross subsystem borders. Instead of changing the API, introduce
a new one when things matters in the transport layers:
- usbhid
- i2chid

This effectively revert to the old behavior for those two transport
layers.

HID: pass the buffer size to hid_report_raw_event

2026-05-23T11:07:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2c85c61d1332e1e16f020d76951baf167dcb6f7a ]

commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()") enforced the provided data to be at least the size of
the declared buffer in the report descriptor to prevent a buffer
overflow. However, we can try to be smarter by providing both the buffer
size and the data size, meaning that hid_report_raw_event() can make
better decision whether we should plaining reject the buffer (buffer
overflow attempt) or if we can safely memset it to 0 and pass it to the
rest of the stack.

HID: core: Change hid_driver to use a const char* for name

2025-09-17T09:48:01+00:00

name is never mutated by the core HID stack. Making name a const char*
simplifies passing the string from Rust to C. Otherwise, it becomes
difficult to pass a 'static lifetime CStr from Rust to a char*, rather than
a const char*, due to lack of guarantee that the underlying data of the
CStr will not be mutated by the C code.

HID: i2c-hid: Make elan touch controllers power on after panel is enabled

2025-08-25T16:18:39+00:00

Introduce a new HID quirk to indicate that this device has to be enabled
after the panel's backlight is enabled, and update the driver data for
the elan devices to enable this quirk. This cannot be a I2C HID quirk
because the kernel needs to acknowledge this before powering up the
device and read the VID/PID. When this quirk is enabled, register
.panel_enabled()/.panel_disabling() instead for the panel follower.

Also rename the *panel_prepare* functions into *panel_follower* because
they could be called in other situations now.

HID: core: Improve the kerneldoc for hid_report_len()

2025-07-15T15:28:27+00:00

The kerneldoc for hid_report_len() needs to be improved.  The
description of the @report argument is ungrammatical, and the
documentation does not explain under what circumstances the report
length will include the byte reserved for the report ID.

Let's fix up the kerneldoc.

HID: rate-limit hid_warn to prevent log flooding

2025-06-20T13:34:36+00:00

Syzkaller can create many uhid devices that trigger
repeated warnings like:

  "hid-generic xxxx: unknown main item tag 0x0"

These messages can flood the system log, especially if a crash occurs
(e.g., with a slow UART console, leading to soft lockups). To mitigate
this, convert `hid_warn()` to use `dev_warn_ratelimited()`.

This helps reduce log noise and improves system stability under fuzzing
or faulty device scenarios.
