[PATCH] usbhid: call report_fixup before comparing descriptors

From: Kevin Daughtridge <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-17 20:05:12

hid_post_reset checks the stored report descriptor against what is currently
returned by the device. An HID driver's report_fixup method may have 
changed the
stored descriptor, however, creating false positives. These leave some 
devices
nonfunctional after a resume, with a "reset_resume error 1" reported. 
This patch
passes the new descriptor to the driver's report_fixup method, if any, 
before it
is compared to the stored one.

    Your patch is whitespace damaged, i.e. has all tabs replaced by spaces.

WBR, Sergei

You can use dev_rdesc here instead.

Thanks,

Hi Henrik. Thanks for the tip. I tried comparing rdesc to hid->dev_rdesc 
without any report_fixup call, but the problem (device nonfunctional 
with "reset_resume error 1" message) still occurred. Upon looking at 
hid_open_report, I noticed that it calls report_fixup on dev_rdesc 
(pointer copied to "start") before it is kmemdup'd to rdesc. For most 
HID drivers, the report_fixup method directly modifies and returns the 
passed structure instead of returning a new pointer, so dev_rdesc is 
also modified. Assuming that dev_rdesc is supposed to be the unmodified 
data, I moved the report_fixup call in hid_open_report to after the 
kmemdup. This combination successfully solves the original problem. I'll 
submit a new patch version presently that addresses both points.

Hi Sergei. Thanks for catching that. The munging problem was supposedly 
fixed in Thunderbird years ago! I guess I'll just mail the new version 
from the command line.
