Hi, There is a possible panic in function hid_betopff_play(): static int hid_betopff_play(struct input_dev *dev, void *data, struct ff_effect *effect) { struct hid_device *hid = input_get_drvdata(dev); struct betopff_device *betopff = data; __u16 left, right; left = effect->u.rumble.strong_magnitude; right = effect->u.rumble.weak_magnitude; betopff->report->field[2]->value[0] = left / 256; /// betopff->report->field[2] could be NULL betopff->report->field[3]->value[0] = right / 256; /// so as betopff->report->field[3] hid_hw_request(hid, betopff->report, HID_REQ_SET_REPORT); return 0; } In function betopff_init(), calculation of "field_count" seems wrong: static int betopff_init(struct hid_device *hid) { struct betopff_device *betopff; struct hid_report *report; struct hid_input *hidinput = list_first_entry(&hid->inputs, struct hid_input, list); struct list_head *report_list = &hid->report_enum[HID_OUTPUT_REPORT].report_list; struct input_dev *dev = hidinput->input; int field_count = 0; int error; int i, j; if (list_empty(report_list)) { hid_err(hid, "no output reports found\n"); return -ENODEV; } report = list_first_entry(report_list, struct hid_report, list); /* * Actually there are 4 fields for 4 Bytes as below: * ----------------------------------------- * Byte0 Byte1 Byte2 Byte3 * 0x00 0x00 left_motor right_motor * ----------------------------------------- * Do init them with default value. */ for (i = 0; i < report->maxfield; i++) { for (j = 0; j < report->field[i]->report_count; j++) { report->field[i]->value[j] = 0x00; field_count++; /// this line should out of this loop } } if (field_count < 4) { hid_err(hid, "not enough fields in the report: %d\n", field_count); return -ENODEV; } Do I misunderstand the code here?
