Subject: [PATCH v3 4/9] HID: haptic, multitouch: Fix haptic device double-free and unnecessary allocation
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 01:53:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113-hid-haptic-kmod-v3-4-e7dfa8766c0d@rong.moe> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113-hid-haptic-kmod-v3-0-e7dfa8766c0d@rong.moe>
The haptic device is allocated by devm_kzalloc(), which will be freed by
devres on HID device release. At that time, the ff core has already
freed it on input device release previously, causing double-free.
Allocate the haptic device using kzalloc_obj() to ensure its release can
be safely delegates to the ff core.
The allocation code is also moved to hid-haptic.h, so that it can be
replaced by a stub in !CONFIG_HID_HAPTIC builds, eliminating the
meaningless alloc-and-free sequence.
Fixes: 8d0bf7908b5a ("HID: multitouch: add haptic multitouch support")
