[PATCH v3] HID: wacom: avoid overflows in sequence number tracking
From: Aldo Ariel Panzardo
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 11:35:46 EST
The dropped-packet calculation derives the sequence range in signed int
arithmetic. A sequence field whose logical range spans all 32-bit values
makes the range calculation wrap to zero, so the following modulo triggers
a divide exception.
Normalize the maximum and current value according to the HID parser's
signedness rule, and keep the sequence state and arithmetic in s64. Use
div64_s64() for the remainder to avoid __moddi3 link failures on 32-bit
architectures. This also avoids overflowing value + 1 at the logical
maximum.
Fixes: 359673ea3a20 ("HID: wacom: Support sequence numbers smaller than 16-bit")

Changes in v3:
- Replace raw s64 modulo with div64_s64()-based remainder to avoid
__moddi3 link failure on 32-bit architectures (i386, arm32).
Reported by Sashiko AI review.
Changes in v2:
- Normalize logical_maximum/value as unsigned when logical_minimum >= 0,
matching HID parser signedness. Store sequence state as s64.
Fixes unsigned 0..UINT32_MAX range that broke v1.
