Hello Lee.
After the 0a3fe972a7cb14 ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing bogus memset()") commit I observe the following flood in dmesg:
kernel: hid_report_raw_event: 6 callbacks suppressed
kernel: hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0005: Event data for report 22 was too short (4 vs 2)
kernel: hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0005: Event data for report 22 was too short (4 vs 2)
kernel: hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0005: Event data for report 22 was too short (4 vs 2)
This machine has got an APC UPS attached:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
Once I unplug the UPS USB cable, the flood stops.
IIUC apart from the rest, the commit changes the message verbosity from debug to warning. Maybe hid_dbg_ratelimited() should be used instead?
Thank you.
