[linux-6.12.y 3/4] HID: core: introduce hid_safe_input_report()
From: Lee Jones
Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 04:42:37 EST
From: Benjamin Tissoires <bentiss@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ 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.
Fixes: 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing bogus memset()")
