Request "HID: usbhid: fix recursive deadlock" added to stable

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

 



This is to request that commit
e470127e9606b1fa151c4184243e61296d1e0c0f be cherry-picked into the
stable trees for Linux 3.17 and newer.

This commit fixes a deadlock which occurs when bringing a pen into
proximity of the most recent generation of "Intuos" tablets
(056a:033b, 056a:033c, 056a:033d, 056a:033d). The deadlock may be
triggered on the stock 4.4 kernel, or any kernel dating back to 3.17
if the backported "input-wacom" drivers are used. The cherry-picked
commit has been tested successfully against what appear to be the
currently-active trees: 3.18, 4.1, and 4.4.

But you can’t take seven from three,    /
So you look at the sixty-fours....
