[PATCH 3.12 124/144] Input: allocate absinfo data when setting ABS capability

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 06 2014 - 18:46:23 EST


3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 28a2a2e1aedbe2d8b2301e6e0e4e63f6e4177aca upstream.

We need to make sure we allocate absinfo data when we are setting one of
EV_ABS/ABS_XXX capabilities, otherwise we may bomb when we try to emit this
event.
