hid-core: fix lockdep in hid_input_report()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@xxxxx>

There is a lockdep warning in the hid_input_report() due to dynamic allocation
of a temporary buffer.
Change the buffer to a local variable. The buffer size is 512 chars.

The lockdep trace is:
