[PATCH 1/4] HID: lamparray: read attribute reports synchronously

From: Cristian Mazzotta

Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 14:05:26 EST


lamparray_read_attributes_report() and lamparray_get_lamp_attributes()
use hid_hw_request(HID_REQ_GET_REPORT) followed by hid_hw_wait(), then
read the results out of field->value[]. hid_hw_request() is asynchronous
and hid_hw_wait() only clears the output queue, so the values are still
read before the transfer has completed.

On an Acer Predator PT14-52T (USB keyboard 05AF:767A), this returns zero
for LampCount, and then zero for red, green, blue, and intensity counts.
The last one is evil: max_brightness is passed to
led_mc_calc_color_components() as a divisor during
lamparray_register_led(), resulting in a divide by zero during probe:

Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:led_mc_calc_color_components+0x58/0x70
Call Trace:
lamparray_register_led+0x119/0x1e0
lamparray_register+0x502/0x820
hid_generic_probe+0x5e/0xc0

The fault kills the kworker running hub_event() while it holds the USB
and HID device locks, which stalls further probing on that bus.

Use hid_hw_raw_request() with a hid_report_len()-sized buffer and hand
the result to hid_report_raw_event() so the HID core parses it into
field->value[] before the values are read.

Validate the level counts after reading them and fail with -EINVAL if
any is zero, so a device reporting no levels cannot reach
led_mc_calc_color_components() at all. The four level fields are also
required to share one report, since a single GET_REPORT is used to
fetch them.
