[PATCH] HID: core: demote warning to debug level
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Aug 16 2026 - 05:10:59 EST
From: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@xxxxxxxx>
The log level for short messages was changed from debug to warning,
flooding syslog on systems with devices that regularly send
short reports, in my case an UPS:
$ dmesg |grep -c 'Event data for report .* was too short'
35
Demote it back to debug level.
Fixes: 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing bogus memset()")
Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@xxxxxxxx>
[bwh: Re-sending this fix which was applied and then lost in a mis-
merge. Add a second Fixes trailer so this should reach all stable
branches that have the warning.]
Fixes: 2c85c61d1332 ("HID: pass the buffer size to hid_report_raw_event")
