Commit ac75a041048b ("HID: i2c-hid: fix size check and type usage") started writing messages when the ret_size is <= 2 from i2c_master_recv. However, my device i2c-DLL07D1 returns 2 for a short period of time (~0.5s) after I stop moving the pointing stick or touchpad. It varies, but you get ~50 messages each time which spams the log hard. [ 95.925055] i2c_hid i2c-DLL07D1:01: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (83/2) This has also been observed with a i2c-ALP0017. [ 1781.266353] i2c_hid i2c-ALP0017:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (30/2) Only print the message when ret_size is totally invalid and less than 2 to cut down on the log spam. Reported-by: John Smith <john-s-84@xxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Jason Andryuk <jandryuk@xxxxxxxxx> --- John Smith originally reported this, but his post did not include a git formatted patch nor a Signed-off-by. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg56171.html https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10374383/ When ret_size is 2, hid_input_report is passed 0 and returns early. ret_size == 2 seems to be a header size saying there is no content. Should i2c_hid_get_input just return early in that case? Also, should this condition be noted to stop an interrupt from firing to avoid the ~50 bogus messages? drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.c b/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.c index c1652bb7bd15..eae0cb3ddec6 100644 --- a/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.c +++ b/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.c @@ -484,7 +484,7 @@ static void i2c_hid_get_input(struct i2c_hid *ihid) return; } - if ((ret_size > size) || (ret_size <= 2)) { + if ((ret_size > size) || (ret_size < 2)) { dev_err(&ihid->client->dev, "%s: incomplete report (%d/%d)\n", __func__, size, ret_size); return; -- 2.17.1
