[PATCH] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[David Glushkov]

The MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG exposes two internal SteelSeries USB HID
devices for RGB lighting: KLC (1038:1122) for the keyboard and ALC
(1038:1161) for the lightbar/logo zones.

Add DMI-gated support for these devices and expose them as multicolor
LED class devices. The driver sends the same HID class SET_REPORT
control transfer as the tested userspace implementation for this
machine and writes a uniform RGB value to all known keyboard keys or
ALC zones.

Limit binding to USB interface 0 and the tested DMI system because the
KLC product ID is shared across MSI laptop designs and the key layout
mapping is model-specific.

Tested on MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG. Both internal SteelSeries ALC
(1038:1161) and KLC (1038:1122) HID devices bind on interface 0 and
create steelseries::lightbar and steelseries::kbd_backlight. Setting
multi_intensity and brightness changes the keyboard and lightbar
colors.

Re: [PATCH] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Type Confusion / Out-of-Bounds Read due to unsafe cast to `usb_interface`
- [High] `steelseries_remove()` unconditionally calls `cancel_delayed_work_sync()` on an uninitialized `delayed_work` struct.
- [Medium] Missing `hid_hw_stop()` and `hid_hw_close()` on probe error path.
- [Medium] Missing runtime PM management during direct USB control transfer, breaking LED updates when the device is idle.

HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

This patch adds support for MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG internal RGB devices
(KLC and ALC) to the steelseries HID driver. It exposes them as multicolor
LED class devices and sets uniform RGB values across zones.

[Severity: High]
Could this cause an out-of-bounds read if the device is not a USB device?

If a local user injects a virtual HID device with the MSI RGB vendor and
product IDs via the uhid subsystem, the device's parent will be the uhid
device, not a usb_interface.

Calling to_usb_interface() and interface_to_usbdev() without first verifying
the transport using hid_is_usb(hdev) could interpret the uhid parent memory
as a usb_interface, leading to wild pointer dereferences and a panic.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this USB control message fail if the device has entered runtime suspend?

Because this directly uses usb_control_msg() and bypasses the HID transport
layer, it doesn't appear to wake the device. Without explicitly waking the
device via hid_hw_power(hdev, PM_HINT_FULLON) or usb_autopm_get_interface(),
the transfer might drop LED updates when the keyboard is idle.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this error path leak the hardware state initialized by hid_hw_start()
and hid_hw_open() called earlier in steelseries_probe()?

Returning directly here skips calling hid_hw_stop() and hid_hw_close(),
which could leave active URBs and orphaned hidinput/hidraw device nodes
exposed to userspace.

[Severity: High]
Since steelseries_headset_battery_register() and INIT_DELAYED_WORK() are
skipped for MSI RGB devices here, what happens when the device is removed?

If steelseries_remove() unconditionally calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() on
sd->battery_work, passing a zero-initialized work struct will trigger a
debug objects (ODEBUG) warning and splat on device removal.

[PATCH v2] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[David Glushkov]

---
v2:
- Fixed unsafe to_usb_interface cast by checking hid_is_usb() first.
- Fixed uninitialized delayed_work warning by restricting cancel_delayed_work_sync to headset devices.
- Fixed error path leaks in probe (hid_hw_stop / hid_hw_close).
- Added hid_hw_power PM wrappers around direct usb_control_msg transfers.

Re: [PATCH v2] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] Type confusion and undefined behavior for SRWS1 devices in steelseries_headset_raw_event().
- [High] DMA API violation: devm_kzalloc buffer passed to usb_control_msg() for DMA.
- [Low] Build failure due to missing 'err_close' label on the error path of steelseries_probe().

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Kernel crash due to uninitialized workqueue object when battery registration fails.

HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

This commit adds support for MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB keyboards via the
steelseries driver. It introduces multicolor LED support using a devres
managed buffer and adds device specific quirks mapping.

[Severity: High]
Memory allocated with devm allocators includes a devres header, which breaks
cacheline alignment. Does passing this sd->rgb_buf to usb_control_msg() in
steelseries_msi_rgb_set_blocking() cause memory corruption on architectures
with non-coherent DMA?

[Severity: Low]
Since there is no err_close label defined in steelseries_probe() or the rest
of the file, does this goto statement cause a build failure?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but if steelseries_headset_battery_register()
fails, the error is logged but probe successfully returns 0. This leaves
sd->battery_work zero-initialized.

Will a subsequent raw input event or device removal cause a kernel panic when
schedule_delayed_work() or cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called on this
uninitialized structure?

[Severity: High]
For SRWS1 devices, the driver data is a completely different structure, not
a struct steelseries_device. As a result, sd aliases a kernel pointer.

Does reading sd->battery_capacity earlier in the function, and checking
sd->quirks here, lead to type confusion and undefined behavior since it
replaces the safe hdev->product ID check?

[PATCH v3] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[David Glushkov]

The MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG exposes two internal SteelSeries USB HID
devices for RGB lighting: KLC (1038:1122) for the keyboard and ALC
(1038:1161) for the lightbar/logo zones.

Add DMI-gated support for these devices and expose them as multicolor
LED class devices. The driver sends the same HID class SET_REPORT
control transfer as the tested userspace implementation for this
machine and writes a uniform RGB value to all known keyboard keys or
ALC zones.

Limit binding to USB interface 0 and the tested DMI system because the
KLC product ID is shared across MSI laptop designs and the key layout
mapping is model-specific.

Tested on MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG. Both internal SteelSeries ALC
(1038:1161) and KLC (1038:1122) HID devices bind on interface 0 and
create steelseries::lightbar and steelseries::kbd_backlight. Setting
multi_intensity and brightness changes the keyboard and lightbar
colors.

v3:
- Fix build failure (added missing err_close label to steelseries_probe).
- Fix DMA API violation (use kzalloc instead of devm_kzalloc for usb transfer buffer).
- Fix C syntax declaration-after-statement warning.
- Fix type confusion for SRWS1 (add early check in raw_event before hid_get_drvdata).
- Fix delayed_work crash (add battery_registered flag).

v2:
- Fixed unsafe to_usb_interface cast by checking hid_is_usb() first.
- Fixed uninitialized delayed_work warning by restricting cancel_delayed_work_sync to headset devices.
- Fixed error path leaks in probe (hid_hw_stop / hid_hw_close).
- Added hid_hw_power PM wrappers around direct usb_control_msg transfers.

Re: [PATCH v3] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Returning `-ENODEV` prevents `hid-generic` fallback, permanently breaking the keyboard on other laptops and breaking unsupported interfaces.
- [Low] Unused static function `steelseries_msi_rgb_free_buf` in the `#else` fallback block causes a compiler warning.

HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

This commit adds DMI-gated support for MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG internal
SteelSeries USB HID devices. The driver exposes them as multicolor LED
class devices on USB interface 0.

[Severity: Low]
Is steelseries_msi_rgb_free_buf() ever called when
CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_MULTICOLOR is disabled?

Since it is a static function, defining it without a caller in the #else
fallback block will trigger a -Wunused-function compiler warning.

[Severity: High]
Does returning -ENODEV here prevent the device from functioning as a standard
keyboard on other laptops or on unsupported interfaces?

Because the device's USB IDs are explicitly listed in the steelseries_devices[]
id_table, the HID core's fallback logic prevents hid-generic from binding to it.
Returning -ENODEV instead of clearing the quirk flag and continuing
initialization abandons the device entirely.

[Severity: High]
Similarly, if LED registration fails (for example, out of memory, or if the LED
subsystem is disabled and returns -ENODEV), does returning an error here also
leave the device completely unbound?

[PATCH v4] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[David Glushkov]

The MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG exposes two internal SteelSeries USB HID
devices for RGB lighting: KLC (1038:1122) for the keyboard and ALC
(1038:1161) for the lightbar/logo zones.

Add DMI-gated support for these devices and expose them as multicolor
LED class devices. The driver sends the same HID class SET_REPORT
control transfer as the tested userspace implementation for this
machine and writes a uniform RGB value to all known keyboard keys or
ALC zones.

Limit RGB support to USB interface 0 and the tested DMI system because
the KLC product ID is shared across MSI laptop designs and the key
layout mapping is model-specific. If the DMI or interface check does
not match, keep the device bound as a regular HID device instead of
failing probe.

Tested on MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG. Both internal SteelSeries ALC
(1038:1161) and KLC (1038:1122) HID devices bind on interface 0 and
create steelseries::lightbar and steelseries::kbd_backlight. Setting
multi_intensity and brightness changes the keyboard and lightbar
colors.

---
v4:
- Fix literal \n typo in C code.
- Fix trailing whitespace and style nits.
- Remove unused steelseries_msi_rgb_free_buf from #else block.
- Do not fail probe on unsupported DMI/interface; clear MSI RGB quirk
  and continue normal HID initialization.
- Do not fail probe when RGB LED registration fails; keep the HID
  device usable without RGB LED support.
- Add explicit linux/slab.h include for kzalloc/kfree.

v3:
- Fix build failure (added missing err_close label to steelseries_probe).
- Fix DMA API violation (use kzalloc instead of devm_kzalloc for usb
  transfer buffer).
- Fix C syntax declaration-after-statement warning.
- Fix type confusion for SRWS1 (add early check in raw_event before
  hid_get_drvdata).
- Fix delayed_work crash (add battery_registered flag).

v2:
- Fixed unsafe to_usb_interface cast by checking hid_is_usb() first.
- Fixed uninitialized delayed_work warning by restricting
  cancel_delayed_work_sync to headset devices.
- Fixed error path leaks in probe (hid_hw_stop / hid_hw_close).
- Added hid_hw_power PM wrappers around direct usb_control_msg transfers.

[PATCH v5] HID: steelseries: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG RGB support

[David Glushkov]

The MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG exposes two internal SteelSeries USB HID
devices for RGB lighting: KLC (1038:1122) for the keyboard and ALC
(1038:1161) for the lightbar/logo zones.

Add DMI-gated support for these devices and expose them as multicolor
LED class devices. The driver sends the same HID class SET_REPORT
control transfer as the tested userspace implementation for this
machine and writes a uniform RGB value to all known keyboard keys or
ALC zones.

Limit RGB support to USB interface 0 and the tested DMI system because
the KLC product ID is shared across MSI laptop designs and the key
layout mapping is model-specific. If the DMI or interface check does
not match, keep the device bound as a regular HID device instead of
failing probe.

Tested on MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG. Both internal SteelSeries ALC
(1038:1161) and KLC (1038:1122) HID devices bind on interface 0 and
create steelseries::lightbar and steelseries::kbd_backlight. Setting
multi_intensity and brightness changes the keyboard and lightbar
colors.

v5:
- Drop pm_ret handling and ignore PM_HINT_NORMAL cleanup errors.
- Fix LED registration error handling to clean up rgb_buf on failure.
- Fix trailing whitespaces and formatting style nits.
- Update commit message to accurately reflect the DMI fallback behavior.

v4:
- Fix literal \n typo in C code.
- Remove unused steelseries_msi_rgb_free_buf from #else block.
- Do not fail probe on unsupported DMI/interface; clear MSI RGB quirk and continue normal HID initialization.
- Do not fail probe when RGB LED registration fails; keep the HID device usable without RGB LED support.
- Add explicit linux/slab.h include for kzalloc/kfree.

v3:
- Fix build failure (added missing err_close label to steelseries_probe).
- Fix DMA API violation (use kzalloc instead of devm_kzalloc for usb transfer buffer).
- Fix C syntax declaration-after-statement warning.
- Fix type confusion for SRWS1 (add early check in raw_event before hid_get_drvdata).
- Fix delayed_work crash (add battery_registered flag).

v2:
- Fixed unsafe to_usb_interface cast by checking hid_is_usb() first.
- Fixed uninitialized delayed_work warning by restricting cancel_delayed_work_sync to headset devices.
- Fixed error path leaks in probe (hid_hw_stop / hid_hw_close).
- Added hid_hw_power PM wrappers around direct usb_control_msg transfers.
