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")

This was originally posted at
<https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20260523105545.68079-1-technoboy85@gmail.com/>
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".
