[PATCH 4.14 77/95] HID: fix error message in hid_open_report()

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

 



From: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b3a81c777dcb093020680490ab970d85e2f6f04f upstream.

On HID report descriptor parsing error the code displays bogus
pointer instead of error offset (subtracts start=NULL from end).
Make the message more useful by displaying correct error offset
and include total buffer size for reference.

This was carried over from ancient times - "Fixed" commit just
promoted the message from DEBUG to ERROR.

Fixes: 8c3d52fc393b ("HID: make parser more verbose about parsing errors by default")
