Subject: [PATCH] HID: core: demote warning to debug level
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 11:10:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aoF-jIn9gk9kJ7Pz@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1748 bytes --]
From: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@meta.com>
The log level for short messages was changed from debug to warning,
flooding syslog on systems with devices that regularly send
short reports, in my case an UPS:
$ dmesg |grep -c 'Event data for report .* was too short'
35
Demote it back to debug level.
Fixes: 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing bogus memset()")
Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@meta.com>
[bwh: Re-sending this fix which was applied and then lost in a mis-
merge. Add a second Fixes trailer so this should reach all stable
branches that have the warning.]
Fixes: 2c85c61d1332 ("HID: pass the buffer size to hid_report_raw_event")

and applied to the hid tree as commit d0ff08d946c8, but then it was
lost in merge commit aa776949fb77 "Merge branch 'for-7.2/wiimote' into
for-linus".
