[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_hid: do not copy_from_user() under a spinlock

From: Linkai Gong

Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 02:12:19 EST


f_hidg_get_report() already copied the report from userspace into a
new entry, then called copy_from_user() again under
get_report_spinlock. That can fault and sleep in atomic context.

Update the existing entry with memcpy() from the copy already taken.
