[ Upstream commit a203dbeeca15a9b924f0d51f510921f4bae96801 ]

In __sta_info_destroy_part2(), station statistics are requested after the IEEE80211_STA_NONE -> IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST transition. This is problematic because the driver may be unable to handle the request due to the STA being in the NOTEXIST state (i.e. if the driver destroys the underlying data when transitioning to NOTEXIST).

Move the statistics collection to before the state transition to avoid this issue.

## Analysis of wifi: mac80211: collect station statistics earlier when disconnect

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit message clearly identifies a **bug fix** for an ordering problem: - In `__sta_info_destroy_part2()`, station statistics are collected **after** the STA transitions to `IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST` - This is problematic because drivers may have already destroyed the underlying data structures when entering NOTEXIST state - The fix moves statistics collection to **before** the NOTEXIST transition

Key indicators: - "problematic" - acknowledges a real issue - Clear explanation of the root cause (ordering) - Author is from Qualcomm (driver vendor likely experiencing this issue) - Signed off by Johannes Berg (mac80211 maintainer) - strong positive signal

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

**The actual change is minimal - just moving 3 lines of code:**

```c // MOVED FROM AFTER drv_sta_state() TO BEFORE IT: sinfo = kzalloc(sizeof(*sinfo), GFP_KERNEL); if (sinfo) sta_set_sinfo(sta, sinfo, true); ```

**Before the fix (buggy order):** 1. Transition STA to NONE state 2. Call `drv_sta_state()` to transition NONE→NOTEXIST (driver may destroy internal STA data here) 3. Try to collect statistics via `sta_set_sinfo()` → **FAILS if driver destroyed data** 4. Report statistics to cfg80211

**After the fix (correct order):** 1. Transition STA to NONE state 2. Collect statistics via `sta_set_sinfo()` → **STA data still valid** 3. Call `drv_sta_state()` to transition NONE→NOTEXIST 4. Report statistics to cfg80211

The `cfg80211_del_sta_sinfo()` call remains in the same relative position (after statistics collection and after transition), so the interface to cfg80211 is preserved.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

- **Type:** Bug fix (ordering/race condition fix) - **Subsystem:** WiFi mac80211 (core wireless stack) - **Not a feature addition:** No new functionality, just correcting execution order

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

**Scope:** - 1 file changed - Net 0 lines added (pure code movement) - Single function affected: `__sta_info_destroy_part2()`

**Risk: VERY LOW** - The same operations are performed, just in different order - `sta_set_sinfo()` reads statistics - no side effects that would affect the subsequent NOTEXIST transition - The `sinfo` pointer is still passed to `cfg80211_del_sta_sinfo()` correctly - No logic changes, no new error paths

### 5. USER IMPACT

**Who is affected:** - All WiFi users during disconnection events - Disconnection is a common operation (switching networks, leaving WiFi range, suspending laptop, etc.)

**Severity:** - Without fix: Statistics may be missing, incorrect, or in worst case cause driver errors/crashes depending on how drivers handle requests when STA data is already destroyed - Qualcomm drivers (ath11k/ath12k) are likely affected based on author affiliation

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- **Reviewed/signed by mac80211 maintainer** (Johannes Berg) - major positive signal - Simple, self-contained fix with clear rationale - The fix addresses a specific defect in existing code

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- **No dependencies:** This is a standalone fix - The affected function `__sta_info_destroy_part2()` exists in all recent stable kernels - No prerequisite commits needed

### Summary

| Criterion | Assessment | |-----------|------------| | Fixes real bug | ✅ Yes - ordering causes driver failures | | Obviously correct | ✅ Yes - simple code movement | | Small and contained | ✅ Yes - 3 lines moved, 1 function | | No new features | ✅ Yes - just reordering | | Risk level | ✅ Very low | | Maintainer review | ✅ Johannes Berg (mac80211 maintainer) |

This commit fixes a real bug affecting WiFi station disconnection. The fix is surgical (moving 3 lines of code earlier), has zero risk of introducing regressions since it's pure code reordering with no functional changes, and has been reviewed by the mac80211 maintainer. The bug affects all WiFi users during disconnection events, which is a very common operation.

[ Upstream commit 5037b342825df7094a4906d1e2a9674baab50cb2 ]

When wait_current_trans() is called during start_transaction(), it currently waits for a blocked transaction without considering whether the given transaction type actually needs to wait for that particular transaction state. The btrfs_blocked_trans_types[] array already defines which transaction types should wait for which transaction states, but this check was missing in wait_current_trans().

This can lead to a deadlock scenario involving two transactions and pending ordered extents:

1. Transaction A is in TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING state

2. A worker processing an ordered extent calls start_transaction() with TRANS_JOIN

3. join_transaction() returns -EBUSY because Transaction A is in TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING

4. Transaction A moves to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED and completes

5. A new Transaction B is created (TRANS_STATE_RUNNING)

6. The ordered extent from step 2 is added to Transaction B's pending ordered extents

7. Transaction B immediately starts commit by another task and enters TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START

8. The worker finally reaches wait_current_trans(), sees Transaction B in TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START (a blocked state), and waits unconditionally

9. However, TRANS_JOIN should NOT wait for TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START according to btrfs_blocked_trans_types[]

10. Transaction B is waiting for pending ordered extents to complete

11. Deadlock: Transaction B waits for ordered extent, ordered extent waits for Transaction B

This can be illustrated by the following call stacks: CPU0 CPU1 btrfs_finish_ordered_io() start_transaction(TRANS_JOIN) join_transaction() # -EBUSY (Transaction A is # TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING) # Transaction A completes # Transaction B created # ordered extent added to # Transaction B's pending list btrfs_commit_transaction() # Transaction B enters # TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START # waiting for pending ordered # extents wait_current_trans() # waits for Transaction B # (should not wait!)

Fix this by passing the transaction type to wait_current_trans() and checking btrfs_blocked_trans_types[cur_trans->state] against the given type before deciding to wait. This ensures that transaction types which are allowed to join during certain blocked states will not unnecessarily wait and cause deadlocks.

## COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

### What the Bug Is

The deadlock occurs because `wait_current_trans()` ignores the transaction type when deciding whether to wait:

1. `join_transaction()` correctly uses `btrfs_blocked_trans_types[cur_trans->state] & type` to return `-EBUSY` 2. But `wait_current_trans()` waits **unconditionally** whenever a transaction is blocked

Looking at `btrfs_blocked_trans_types[]`: - `TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START` only blocks `__TRANS_START | __TRANS_ATTACH` - `__TRANS_JOIN` is NOT blocked during `TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START`

The deadlock: `TRANS_JOIN` from ordered extent processing waits for a transaction in `COMMIT_START` state (which it shouldn't), while that transaction waits for the ordered extent to complete.

### Technical Assessment

**The Fix:** - Adds `type` parameter to `wait_current_trans()` - Adds check: `btrfs_blocked_trans_types[cur_trans->state] & type` - Updates 3 call sites to pass the type

**Lines of actual change**: ~6 lines of logic change **Files changed**: 1 (fs/btrfs/transaction.c) **Risk level**: LOW - the fix makes behavior *more restrictive* about when to wait, aligning with already-defined semantics

### Stable Kernel Criteria Assessment

| Criterion | Assessment | |-----------|------------| | Obviously correct? | ✅ Yes - aligns `wait_current_trans()` with existing `btrfs_blocked_trans_types[]` semantics | | Fixes real bug? | ✅ Yes - deadlock with real call stacks provided | | Important issue? | ✅ Yes - deadlock is severe (system hang, potential data loss) | | Small and contained? | ✅ Yes - ~6 lines logic change in one file | | No new features? | ✅ Correct - pure bug fix | | Dependencies in stable? | ✅ Yes - `btrfs_blocked_trans_types[]` exists since 2013 |

### Review Quality

- Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana (btrfs maintainer) - Reviewed-by: David Sterba (btrfs maintainer) - Signed-off-by: David Sterba (merged by maintainer)

### User Impact

- **Severity**: HIGH - deadlock causes complete hang - **Affected users**: btrfs users with ordered extent workloads (common during fsync) - **Evidence**: Real production call stacks provided from Synology system

### Risk vs Benefit

**Benefits:** - Fixes a critical deadlock in filesystem code - Small, surgical change with minimal risk - Uses existing, well-tested infrastructure

**Risks:** - Very low - the change only affects waiting behavior and aligns it with already-existing type-specific blocking rules - The fix is conservative: it makes the code wait *less* (only when it should), not more

### Conclusion

This commit fixes a **real deadlock** in btrfs transaction handling. The fix is: - Small and surgical - Obviously correct (makes `wait_current_trans()` respect existing type- specific blocking rules) - Well-reviewed by btrfs maintainers - Low risk with high benefit

The `btrfs_blocked_trans_types[]` array has existed since 2013, ensuring clean backporting to all stable kernels. This is exactly the type of commit that should be backported - a critical deadlock fix with minimal risk.

## Analysis of Commit: HID: intel-ish-hid: Update ishtp bus match to support device ID table

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit message clearly describes: - **The problem**: The `ishtp_cl_bus_match()` function only checked the first entry (`id[0]`) in the driver's device ID table - **The fix**: Iterate over the entire ID table - **The purpose**: Allow proper matching for drivers with multiple supported protocol GUIDs

No "Fixes:" tag or "Reported-by:" tag is present (expected for commits under manual review).

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

**Before (buggy code):** ```c return(device->fw_client ? guid_equal(&driver->id[0].guid, &device->fw_client->props.protocol_name) : 0); ``` Only checks the **first entry** (`driver->id[0]`) in the device ID table.

**After (fixed code):** ```c if (client) { for (id = driver->id; !guid_is_null(&id->guid); id++) { if (guid_equal(&id->guid, &client->props.protocol_name)) return 1; } } return 0; ``` Properly iterates through **all entries** until finding a match or hitting the null GUID terminator.

**Root cause**: Logic error - incomplete iteration through device ID table. This is objectively incorrect behavior for a bus match function. Standard Linux bus matching iterates through all device IDs in a driver's table.

**Technical mechanism**: When a device with a protocol GUID that matches the 2nd, 3rd, or later entry in a driver's ID table is enumerated, the old code would fail to match, leaving the device without a driver.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

- **Bug fix**: Yes - this fixes fundamentally broken device matching logic - **New feature**: No - it corrects existing functionality to work as designed - **Exception category**: Not needed - it's a straightforward bug fix

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

- **Lines changed**: ~10 lines of actual code - **Files touched**: 1 (drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/bus.c) - **Complexity**: Low - simple loop structure following standard patterns - **Subsystem**: Intel ISH (Integrated Sensor Hub) HID driver - **Risk**: Very low - if wrong, devices wouldn't match (no crashes/corruption)

The change follows the standard Linux bus matching pattern used across the kernel (iterate until null terminator).

### 5. USER IMPACT

- **Affected users**: Intel ISH users with drivers supporting multiple protocol GUIDs - **Severity**: Medium - affected devices simply wouldn't work (wouldn't bind to their driver) - **Real bug**: Yes - the code was objectively wrong

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- **Acked-by**: Srinivas Pandruvada (Intel ISH maintainer) - **Signed-off-by**: Benjamin Tissoires (HID subsystem maintainer) - Pattern follows well-established Linux driver matching conventions

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- Self-contained, no dependencies on other commits - The `ishtp_cl_bus_match()` function exists in stable trees - No new APIs or infrastructure required

### RISK VS BENEFIT TRADE-OFF

**Benefits:** - Fixes obviously incorrect code in bus matching - Enables proper device/driver matching for drivers with multiple IDs - Small, surgical, low-risk change - Follows standard kernel patterns

**Risks:** - Minimal - only affects ISH device matching - Failure mode is "device doesn't match" not crash/corruption

**Concerns:** - No explicit bug report showing users hitting this - Could be seen as enabling new functionality if no drivers currently use multiple IDs

### CONCLUSION

This commit fixes objectively incorrect behavior in the ISHTP bus matching function. The old code only checking `id[0]` is clearly wrong for a device ID table that's designed to hold multiple entries. The fix is small, surgical, follows standard kernel patterns, and has low risk. Even without an explicit user report, fixing fundamentally broken matching logic is appropriate for stable trees. The change is acked by the Intel maintainer and the HID subsystem maintainer.

The fix is self-contained, doesn't introduce new APIs, and corrects a logic error that would prevent devices from working if their GUID wasn't first in the table.

[ Upstream commit 2497ff38c530b1af0df5130ca9f5ab22c5e92f29 ]

`i2c_hid_xfer` is used to read `recv_len + sizeof(__le16)` bytes of data into `ihid->rawbuf`.

The former can come from the userspace in the hidraw driver and is only bounded by HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE(16384) by default (unless we also set `max_buffer_size` field of `struct hid_ll_driver` which we do not).

The latter has size determined at runtime by the maximum size of different report types you could receive on any particular device and can be a much smaller value.

Fix this by truncating `recv_len` to `ihid->bufsize - sizeof(__le16)`.

The impact is low since access to hidraw devices requires root.

## Analysis of HID: i2c-hid: fix potential buffer overflow in i2c_hid_get_report()

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit message clearly describes a **buffer overflow vulnerability**: - `recv_len` comes from userspace via the hidraw driver, bounded only by HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16384) - `ihid->rawbuf` has size `ihid->bufsize` determined at runtime by device report sizes - can be much smaller - The I2C transfer reads `recv_len + sizeof(__le16)` bytes into the potentially smaller buffer - The fix truncates `recv_len` to prevent overflow

Key phrase: "fix potential buffer overflow" - this is a security fix. The message acknowledges "impact is low since access to hidraw devices requires root," but buffer overflows are still serious vulnerabilities.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The fix is a single line addition: ```c recv_len = min(recv_len, ihid->bufsize - sizeof(__le16)); ```

**Technical mechanism of the bug:** - `i2c_hid_xfer()` is called with `recv_len + sizeof(__le16)` as the read length - If userspace requests a large report via hidraw, `recv_len` could be up to 16384 - The destination buffer `ihid->rawbuf` has size `ihid->bufsize`, which is allocated based on the device's maximum report size - If `recv_len + 2 > ihid->bufsize`, data is written past the end of `rawbuf`

**Why the fix is correct:** - The `min()` ensures `recv_len ≤ ihid->bufsize - sizeof(__le16)` - Therefore `recv_len + sizeof(__le16) ≤ ihid->bufsize` - no overflow possible - Placement is perfect: right before the I2C transfer that performs the write

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

This is a **security bug fix** - specifically a buffer overflow that: - Can be triggered from userspace (via hidraw) - Could lead to kernel memory corruption - Requires root access (limiting practical exploitability)

Even with limited exploitability, buffer overflows in kernel drivers are exactly what stable trees want to fix for defense-in-depth.

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

| Metric | Assessment | |--------|------------| | Lines changed | 1 | | Files touched | 1 | | Complexity | Trivial (min() call) | | Subsystem maturity | High (i2c-hid is mature, widely used) | | Risk of regression | Near zero |

The fix is **surgical and contained** - it only adds a bounds check. It cannot break correct behavior since: - Valid requests (where recv_len fits in the buffer) are unaffected - Invalid requests (oversized) now get safely truncated instead of causing overflow

### 5. USER IMPACT

**Affected users:** Anyone using I2C-HID devices - common on laptops for touchpads, touchscreens, and keyboards.

**Severity:** Buffer overflow = potentially high severity for security (memory corruption, possible privilege escalation), though exploitability is limited by root requirement.

**Real-world impact:** While requiring root reduces the attack surface, compromised root processes or certain security models (containers, sandboxes) make this relevant.

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Signed-off-by Benjamin Tissoires (HID subsystem maintainer) - The fix is trivially verifiable as correct - Standard defensive bounds checking pattern

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- Standalone fix, no dependencies on other commits - `i2c_hid_get_report()` and the buffer management have existed for years - Will apply cleanly to stable trees

### STABLE KERNEL RULES ASSESSMENT

| Criterion | Met? | |-----------|------| | Obviously correct and tested | ✅ Yes - trivial min() bounds check | | Fixes a real bug | ✅ Yes - buffer overflow | | Important issue (security/crash/corruption) | ✅ Yes - security vulnerability | | Small and contained | ✅ Yes - 1 line, 1 file | | No new features | ✅ Yes - pure bug fix | | Applies cleanly | ✅ Yes - no dependencies |

### RISK VS BENEFIT

**Benefit:** Fixes a buffer overflow vulnerability in widely-used HID driver code **Risk:** Effectively zero - the fix is a trivial bounds check that cannot cause regressions

### CONCLUSION

This commit is an ideal candidate for stable backporting: - It fixes a genuine security vulnerability (buffer overflow) - The fix is minimal (1 line), obviously correct, and risk-free - The i2c-hid driver is widely used on modern laptops - Even though root is required to exploit, defense-in-depth principles favor fixing all buffer overflows - Has proper maintainer sign-off

[ Upstream commit 0de604d0357d0d22cbf03af1077d174b641707b6 ]

During Mode 1 reset, the ASIC undergoes a reset cycle and becomes temporarily inaccessible via PCIe. Any attempt to access MMIO registers during this window (e.g., from interrupt handlers or other driver threads) can result in uncompleted PCIe transactions, leading to NMI panics or system hangs.

To prevent this, set the `no_hw_access` flag to true immediately after triggering the reset. This signals other driver components to skip register accesses while the device is offline.

A memory barrier `smp_mb()` is added to ensure the flag update is globally visible to all cores before the driver enters the sleep/wait state.

## Analysis of Commit: drm/amd/pm: Disable MMIO access during SMU Mode 1 reset

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit message clearly describes a **serious stability problem**: - During Mode 1 reset, the ASIC becomes temporarily inaccessible via PCIe - Any MMIO access during this window (from interrupt handlers or other driver threads) results in **NMI panics or system hangs** - Keywords: "NMI panics", "system hangs" - these are critical stability issues

The commit has proper attribution: - Reviewed-by tag from Yifan Zhang - Signed-off by AMD maintainer Alex Deucher - Already cherry-picked, suggesting it's considered stable material

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The fix is straightforward and surgical:

**smu_v13_0_0_ppt.c and smu_v14_0_2_ppt.c:** ```c /* disable mmio access while doing mode 1 reset*/ smu->adev->no_hw_access = true; /* ensure no_hw_access is globally visible before any MMIO */ smp_mb(); msleep(...); ``` Sets the existing `no_hw_access` flag to block MMIO from other driver components during the reset sleep window. The `smp_mb()` ensures proper cross-CPU memory ordering.

**amdgpu_device.c:** ```c /* enable mmio access after mode 1 reset completed */ adev->no_hw_access = false; ``` Re-enables MMIO access after the reset completes successfully.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

This is a **bug fix** - not a new feature. It uses an existing mechanism (`no_hw_access` flag) that other driver components already check. The fix simply sets this flag at the correct time during Mode 1 reset.

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

- **Lines changed**: ~15 lines of actual code across 3 files - **Complexity**: Very low - just boolean flag setting and memory barriers - **Risk**: LOW - uses existing infrastructure, pattern is well- understood - **Subsystem**: AMD GPU power management (SMU v13.0.0 and v14.0.2)

The changes are minimal and isolated to the Mode 1 reset path.

### 5. USER IMPACT

- **Severity**: CRITICAL - NMI panics and system hangs affect system stability - **Affected users**: AMD GPU users (Radeon RX 7000 series and newer) when GPU undergoes error recovery - **Trigger likelihood**: Mode 1 resets happen during GPU error recovery - interrupt handlers racing with reset is a realistic scenario

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Has `Reviewed-by` tag - Cherry-picked from mainline commit 7edb503fe4b6d67f47d8bb0dfafb8e699bb0f8a4 - Comes from AMD engineers with domain expertise

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

The `no_hw_access` field in `amdgpu_device` structure is existing infrastructure used throughout the AMDGPU driver. This commit doesn't introduce new fields or dependencies - it only sets an existing flag at appropriate times.

**Potential concern**: SMU v14 code is relatively new (2024+), so very old stable trees may not have this code path. However, if the code exists in the stable tree, the fix applies cleanly.

### RISK VS BENEFIT ASSESSMENT

**Benefits:** - Prevents NMI panics and system hangs - critical stability fix - Protects against realistic race conditions during GPU reset

**Risks:** - Minimal - uses existing flag mechanism - Small, contained changes with proper memory barriers - No architectural changes or new features

### CONCLUSION

This commit fixes a critical stability bug (NMI panics, system hangs) that can occur during normal GPU error recovery scenarios. The fix is: - Small and surgical (just flag setting + memory barrier) - Uses existing infrastructure - Properly reviewed - Low regression risk - Already cherry-picked indicating stable intent

The commit meets all stable kernel criteria: it's obviously correct, fixes a real and serious bug, is small and contained, and introduces no new features.

[ Upstream commit 2bafeb8d2f380c3a81d98bd7b78b854b564f9cd4 ]

The -EEXIST error code is reserved by the module loading infrastructure to indicate that a module is already loaded. When a module's init function returns -EEXIST, userspace tools like kmod interpret this as "module already loaded" and treat the operation as successful, returning 0 to the user even though the module initialization actually failed.

Replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY to ensure correct error reporting in the module initialization path.

Affected modules: * ebtable_broute ebtable_filter ebtable_nat arptable_filter * ip6table_filter ip6table_mangle ip6table_nat ip6table_raw * ip6table_security iptable_filter iptable_mangle iptable_nat * iptable_raw iptable_security

## Commit Analysis: netfilter: replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit explains a subtle but important bug in error reporting: - When module initialization returns `-EEXIST`, the kernel module loading infrastructure (kmod) interprets this as "module already loaded" - kmod then returns **success (0)** to userspace, even though the module initialization actually **failed** - This creates a silent failure condition where users believe operations succeeded when they didn't

Keywords: "error reporting", "failed" - this is a bug fix, not a feature.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The changes are trivial and identical across three files:

**net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c** (`ebt_register_template()`): ```c - return -EEXIST; + return -EBUSY; ```

**net/netfilter/nf_log.c** (`nf_log_register()`): ```c - ret = -EEXIST; + ret = -EBUSY; ```

**net/netfilter/x_tables.c** (`xt_register_template()`): ```c - int ret = -EEXIST, af = table->af; + int ret = -EBUSY, af = table->af; ```

All three functions are registration routines called during module initialization for netfilter tables. When a duplicate name/type is detected, they were returning `-EEXIST`, which gets misinterpreted by kmod.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

**Bug fix**: Corrects error code semantics. No new functionality, no behavior change beyond proper error reporting.

The `-EBUSY` error code is semantically appropriate ("resource is busy/in use") and is not intercepted specially by the module loading infrastructure.

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

- **Lines changed**: ~6 actual code changes - **Files affected**: 3 files in netfilter subsystem - **Complexity**: Trivial - only changing error code constants - **Risk**: Extremely low - no logic changes at all

The only conceivable concern would be if userspace depended on `-EEXIST`, but: 1. These are internal kernel registration functions 2. The duplicate condition should never occur in normal operation (note the `WARN_ON_ONCE`) 3. The current behavior is **wrong** - it reports success on failure

### 5. USER IMPACT

**High impact bug**: - Affects all netfilter/iptables users when module initialization fails - Security implications: Users may believe their firewall tables loaded successfully when they didn't - Affected modules include: `iptable_filter`, `iptable_nat`, `ip6table_filter`, `ebtable_filter`, etc. - core firewall components

This is exactly the kind of silent failure that can cause security issues in production.

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal (netfilter maintainer) - indicates proper review - The fix is self-evidently correct - Clear problem description in commit message

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- No dependencies on other commits - The affected code (netfilter table registration) exists in all stable kernel trees - These are long-standing, mature functions

### Summary

| Criterion | Assessment | |-----------|------------| | Fixes real bug? | ✅ Yes - silent failure condition | | Obviously correct? | ✅ Yes - trivial error code change | | Small and contained? | ✅ Yes - 6 lines across 3 files | | Security relevant? | ✅ Yes - firewall may silently fail to load | | Risk of regression? | ✅ Minimal - no logic changes | | Dependencies? | ✅ None - self-contained |

This commit fixes incorrect error semantics that cause userspace tools to report success when module initialization fails. The fix is trivial (changing error codes), affects widely-used firewall code, has potential security implications (users may not know their firewall failed), and carries virtually zero regression risk. It meets all stable kernel criteria.

## Commit Analysis: ALSA: hda/realtek: add HP Laptop 15s-eq1xxx mute LED quirk

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit adds a hardware quirk for the HP Laptop 15s-eq1xxx with ALC236 codec. The mute LED does not function correctly without this quirk entry. The fix uses an existing fixup (`ALC236_FIXUP_HP_MUTE_LED_COEFBIT2`) that is already applied to several other HP laptops.

Keywords: "quirk" - indicates hardware-specific workaround.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The change is a **single line addition** to the quirk table:

```c SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x103c, 0x8706, "HP Laptop 15s-eq1xxx", ALC236_FIXUP_HP_MUTE_LED_COEFBIT2), ```

This adds: - **Vendor ID**: 0x103c (HP) - **Subsystem ID**: 0x8706 (specific to this laptop model) - **Fixup**: `ALC236_FIXUP_HP_MUTE_LED_COEFBIT2` - an existing, well- tested fixup

Looking at the surrounding code, the same fixup is already used by multiple other HP laptops: - HP 15-db0403ng (0x84ae) - HP Laptop 15-da3001TU (0x86c1) - HP Laptop 14-fq0xxx (0x87b7)

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

This is a **hardware quirk/workaround** - one of the explicit exception categories that ARE allowed in stable trees: - It's a hardware-specific quirk for a device that doesn't work correctly without it - The fixup mechanism already exists and is proven on other devices - This is NOT a new feature - it's enabling existing functionality for a specific PCI subsystem ID

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

| Factor | Assessment | |--------|------------| | Lines changed | 1 | | Files touched | 1 | | Complexity | Trivial - table entry only | | Risk | **Extremely low** |

The change: - Only affects systems with the exact subsystem ID 0x8706 - Uses a pre-existing, battle-tested fixup - Cannot break any other systems - Follows an established, well-understood pattern

### 5. USER IMPACT

**Affected users**: Owners of HP Laptop 15s-eq1xxx **Bug severity**: User-visible functionality issue (mute LED doesn't work) **Impact without fix**: The mute LED doesn't indicate mute state, which is a usability problem

While not a crash or data corruption issue, non-working hardware indicators are legitimate bugs that affect real users.

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Signed off by Takashi Iwai (ALSA subsystem maintainer) - Uses an identical pattern to dozens of existing quirk entries - The `ALC236_FIXUP_HP_MUTE_LED_COEFBIT2` fixup has been in the kernel and used by other devices for years

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- **No dependencies** on other commits - The quirk table (`alc269_fixup_tbl[]`) exists in all stable kernels - The `ALC236_FIXUP_HP_MUTE_LED_COEFBIT2` fixup enum value exists in stable kernels - This patch will apply cleanly to any stable tree that has this file

### CONCLUSION

This commit is a textbook example of what should be backported to stable:

1. **Hardware quirk addition** - explicitly allowed under stable rules 2. **Single line change** - minimal code, minimal risk 3. **Uses existing infrastructure** - no new code paths, just a table entry 4. **Precisely scoped** - only affects one specific hardware model (subsystem ID match) 5. **Cannot cause regressions** - doesn't touch any code paths for other devices 6. **Fixes real user-visible issue** - mute LED not working 7. **Well-established pattern** - this exact type of change is routinely backported

The fix is small, surgical, and meets all stable kernel criteria for hardware quirk additions.

[ Upstream commit e9143268d259d98e111a649affa061acb8e13c5b ]

When a new PlayStation gamepad (DualShock 4 or DualSense) is initialized, the input subsystem sets the default value for its absolute axes (e.g., ABS_X, ABS_Y) to 0.

However, the hardware's actual neutral/resting state for these joysticks is 128 (0x80). This creates a mismatch.

When the first HID report arrives from the device, the driver sees the resting value of 128. The kernel compares this to its initial state of 0 and incorrectly interprets this as a delta (0 -> 128). Consequently, it generates EV_ABS events for this initial, non-existent movement.

This behavior can fail userspace 'sanity check' tests (e.g., in Android CTS) that correctly assert no motion events should be generated from a device that is already at rest.

This patch fixes the issue by explicitly setting the initial value of the main joystick axes (e.g., ABS_X, ABS_Y, ABS_RX, ABS_RY) to 128 (0x80) in the common ps_gamepad_create() function.

This aligns the kernel's initial state with the hardware's expected neutral state, ensuring that the first report (at 128) produces no delta and thus, no spurious event.

## Analysis of Commit: "HID: playstation: Center initial joystick axes to prevent spurious events"

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit describes a clear, specific bug: - PlayStation gamepads (DualShock 4, DualSense) have joysticks that rest at value 128 (0x80) - The kernel initializes the axis value to 0 by default - When the first HID report arrives with the resting value of 128, the kernel interprets this as actual movement - This generates spurious EV_ABS events for non-existent movement - The problem causes Android CTS test failures and potentially confuses userspace applications

The bug has user-visible impact ("Reported-by" pattern implied through CTS test context).

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

**The fix is minimal and surgical:** ```c gamepad->absinfo[ABS_X].value = 128; gamepad->absinfo[ABS_Y].value = 128; gamepad->absinfo[ABS_RX].value = 128; gamepad->absinfo[ABS_RY].value = 128; ```

- 5 lines added (1 comment + 4 value assignments) - Single file: `drivers/hid/hid-playstation.c` - Single function: `ps_gamepad_create()` - Only affects joystick axes (ABS_X, ABS_Y, ABS_RX, ABS_RY), correctly leaves triggers (ABS_Z, ABS_RZ) at 0

**Technical correctness:** The fix is obviously correct. After `input_set_abs_params()` sets up the axis with range 0-255, manually setting `.value = 128` aligns the kernel's initial state with the hardware's physical resting position at center (128).

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

- **Type:** Bug fix (not a feature) - **Category:** Input device initialization fix - **No new API or behavior change:** Just corrects initial state values - **No new features:** Purely corrects existing incorrect behavior

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

| Factor | Assessment | |--------|------------| | Lines changed | 5 (very small) | | Files changed | 1 | | Complexity | Trivial | | Subsystem | HID - PlayStation driver (mature) | | Risk of regression | Very low |

The change is confined to initialization code and cannot affect any existing logic paths. Setting an initial value cannot break anything because: 1. The value 128 is within the valid range (0-255) 2. The hardware reports 128 at rest anyway 3. This aligns kernel state with reality

### 5. USER IMPACT

**Who is affected:** - All users of DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers - Android users (CTS compliance) - Applications that validate initial input state

**Severity:** Medium - Not a crash or data corruption, but: - Causes spurious input events at device connect - Breaks CTS conformance tests - May confuse input-sensitive applications

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- **Reviewed-by:** Benjamin Tissoires (HID maintainer) ✓ - **Signed-off-by:** Maintainer sign-off ✓ - The fix is simple enough to verify correctness by inspection

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- No dependencies on other commits - `ps_gamepad_create()` has existed since the driver was introduced - Uses standard input subsystem patterns (`absinfo[].value`) - Should apply cleanly to any stable tree containing this driver

### STABLE KERNEL CRITERIA EVALUATION

| Criterion | Status | |-----------|--------| | Obviously correct and tested | ✓ Reviewed by maintainer | | Fixes a real bug | ✓ Spurious input events | | Important issue | ✓ Breaks CTS, affects popular hardware | | Small and contained | ✓ 5 lines, 1 file | | No new features | ✓ Pure correctness fix | | No new APIs | ✓ |

### RISK VS BENEFIT

**Benefits:** - Fixes spurious input events on popular consumer hardware - Fixes Android CTS test failures - Aligns kernel state with hardware reality - Affects millions of PlayStation controller users

**Risks:** - Essentially zero - the change is trivially correct - No logic changes, just initialization values

### CONCLUSION

This commit is an excellent candidate for stable backporting:

1. **Fixes a real bug** that causes spurious input events and test failures 2. **Small and surgical** - only 5 lines in one function 3. **Obviously correct** - aligns initial value with hardware's physical state 4. **Low risk** - cannot introduce regressions 5. **Well-reviewed** - HID maintainer reviewed and signed off 6. **Widely applicable** - affects popular consumer hardware (PlayStation controllers) 7. **No dependencies** - self-contained fix

The fix meets all stable kernel criteria: it's obviously correct, fixes a real bug, is small in scope, and introduces no new features. The fact that it fixes CTS compliance issues makes it particularly valuable for Android device manufacturers using stable kernels.

After an innocuous optimization change in clang-22, dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull() is over the 2048 byte stack limit for display_mode_vba_30.c.

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml/dcn30/display_mode_vba_30.c:3529:6: warning: stack frame size (2096) exceeds limit (2048) in 'dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull' [-Wframe-larger-than] 3529 | void dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull(struct display_mode_lib *mode_lib) | ^

With clang-21, this function was already close to the limit:

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml/dcn30/display_mode_vba_30.c:3529:6: warning: stack frame size (1912) exceeds limit (1586) in 'dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull' [-Wframe-larger-than] 3529 | void dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull(struct display_mode_lib *mode_lib) | ^

CalculatePrefetchSchedule() has a large number of parameters, which must be passed on the stack. Most of the parameters between the two callsites are the same, so they can be accessed through the existing mode_lib pointer, instead of being passed as explicit arguments. Doing this reduces the stack size of dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull() from 2096 bytes to 1912 bytes with clang-22.

## Analysis of Commit for Stable Backport

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The commit addresses a **build fix** for stack frame size exceeding the 2048 byte limit when compiling with clang-22. The warning: ``` drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml/dcn30/display_mode_vba_30.c:3529:6: warning: stack frame size (2096) exceeds limit (2048) in 'dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull' ```

This references a tracked ClangBuiltLinux issue and has been cherry- picked from mainline, indicating maintainer intent for backport.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The fix reduces parameters to `CalculatePrefetchSchedule()` from ~45 to significantly fewer by: - Passing an index `k` and accessing values via `mode_lib->vba` structure instead of explicit parameters - Converting pointer-based output parameters to direct writes to `v->` array elements (e.g., `v->DSTXAfterScaler[k]`, `v->Tno_bw[k]`) - Updating both callsites in `DISPCLKDPPCLKDCFCLKDeepSleepPrefetchParame tersWatermarksAndPerformanceCalculation()` and `dml30_ModeSupportAndSystemConfigurationFull()`

The transformation is mechanical - values that were passed as parameters are now accessed through the structure, and output parameters now write directly to struct arrays.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

**BUILD FIX** - This category is explicitly allowed in stable per Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst. The fix prevents compilation warnings that can become errors with `-Werror`.

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

- **Files Changed**: 1 file (display_mode_vba_30.c) - **Lines Changed**: ~400 lines (substantial refactoring) - **Subsystem**: AMD display DML code for DCN 3.0

**Risk Factors**: - Large refactoring, not a minimal surgical fix - AMD display code is complex; errors can cause display corruption - The transformation must be exactly right for functional equivalence

**Mitigating Factors**: - Changes are purely mechanical (struct access vs parameters) - No logical changes to calculations - Same values accessed, just differently - Already cherry-picked with sign-offs from Nathan Chancellor and Alex Deucher

### 5. USER IMPACT

- **Affected**: Users building with clang-22+ (especially with `-Werror`) - **Hardware**: AMD DCN 3.0 display (Navi2x/RDNA2) - **Severity**: Build failure for affected users

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor (ClangBuiltLinux maintainer) - Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher (AMD display maintainer) - Already cherry-picked from mainline (b20b3fc4210f83089f835cdb91deec4b0778761a) - Linked to tracked issue: ClangBuiltLinux/linux#2117

### 7. STABLE TREE CRITERIA EVALUATION

| Criterion | Assessment | |-----------|------------| | Fixes real bug | ✅ Build failure with modern clang | | Obviously correct | ⚠️ Mechanical but large | | Small and contained | ❌ ~400 lines is large | | No new features | ✅ Pure refactoring | | Build fix exception | ✅ Explicitly allowed | | Tested | ✅ Cherry-picked from mainline |

### Verdict

This is a **borderline case**. While the change is larger than typical stable patches, build fixes are explicitly allowed in stable kernel rules. The transformation is mechanical (not logic changes), the maintainers have already cherry-picked it, and ClangBuiltLinux issues receive priority attention. The fact that it was cherry-picked indicates upstream maintainers believe it's appropriate for stable.

The risk is that display driver bugs can be severe, but the mechanical nature of the transformation (accessing through struct vs parameters) and maintainer endorsement provide reasonable confidence.

**YES**

[ Upstream commit c1c050f92d8f6aac4e17f7f2230160794fceef0c ]

If we fail to allocate a path or join a transaction, we return from __cow_file_range_inline() without freeing the reserved qgroup data, resulting in a leak. Fix this by ensuring we call btrfs_qgroup_free_data() in such cases.

## Commit Analysis: btrfs: fix reservation leak in some error paths when inserting inline extent

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

The subject clearly indicates a **bug fix** for a "reservation leak" in error paths. The body explains: - When `btrfs_alloc_path()` fails or `btrfs_join_transaction()` fails, the function returned early - The reserved qgroup data was never freed in these error paths - This results in a resource leak

**Tags**: Reviewed-by and Signed-off-by from David Sterba (btrfs maintainer), authored by Filipe Manana (experienced btrfs developer). Excellent review coverage.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

**The Bug (Before):** ```c path = btrfs_alloc_path(); if (!path) return -ENOMEM; // Early return - leaks qgroup reservation

trans = btrfs_join_transaction(root); if (IS_ERR(trans)) { btrfs_free_path(path); return PTR_ERR(trans); // Early return - leaks qgroup reservation } ```

**The Fix (After):** ```c path = btrfs_alloc_path(); if (!path) { ret = -ENOMEM; goto out; // Goes to cleanup that calls btrfs_qgroup_free_data() }

trans = btrfs_join_transaction(root); if (IS_ERR(trans)) { ret = PTR_ERR(trans); trans = NULL; goto out; // Goes to cleanup that calls btrfs_qgroup_free_data() } ```

Additional changes: - Initialize `trans = NULL` at declaration - Add NULL check before `btrfs_end_transaction(trans)` in cleanup

**Root cause**: Early returns bypassed the `out` label where `btrfs_qgroup_free_data()` is called for error cases (`ret <= 0`).

**Why the fix works**: Redirects error paths to use `goto out`, ensuring all exits pass through existing cleanup logic.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

- **Type**: Bug fix (resource leak) - **Category**: Error handling fix in filesystem code - **Not a feature addition**: Pure cleanup path fix

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

- **Size**: ~20 lines changed in a single file (`fs/btrfs/inode.c`) - **Scope**: Single function `__cow_file_range_inline()` - **Complexity**: Very low - simple control flow change (early return → goto) - **Risk**: Very low - Uses existing cleanup logic already tested for other error paths - The NULL check on `trans` is a proper safeguard - No algorithm changes, no new logic

### 5. USER IMPACT

- **Affected users**: btrfs users with qgroups enabled - **Trigger conditions**: ENOMEM or transaction join failure during inline extent insertion - **Severity**: Resource leak that accumulates over time, can cause incorrect qgroup accounting - **Frequency**: Error conditions are rare, but when they occur, the leak is guaranteed

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- Authored by Filipe Manana (prolific btrfs contributor) - Reviewed by David Sterba (btrfs maintainer) - Signed-off by David Sterba

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- Self-contained fix - No dependencies on other commits - The affected function and `btrfs_qgroup_free_data()` exist in stable trees - The code structure is stable and not recently added

## Conclusion

This commit is an **ideal stable candidate**:

1. **Obviously correct**: Simple redirection of error paths to existing cleanup code 2. **Fixes a real bug**: Qgroup data reservation leak that can accumulate over time 3. **Small and contained**: ~20 lines, one file, one function 4. **No new features**: Pure bug fix 5. **Well-reviewed**: By btrfs maintainers 6. **Low risk**: Uses existing cleanup logic, minimal code change 7. **Important for users**: Btrfs with qgroups is a common configuration

The fix is surgical, low-risk, and addresses a genuine resource leak in the btrfs filesystem. It meets all stable kernel criteria.

**YES**

## Analysis of HID: logitech: add HID++ support for Logitech MX Anywhere 3S

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

**Subject:** "HID: logitech: add HID++ support for Logitech MX Anywhere 3S"

The commit message explains: - Author acquired an MX Anywhere 3S mouse that supports HID++ over Bluetooth - Adding PID 0xb037 to the allowlist enables additional features (high- resolution scrolling) - Tested on multiple machines with Intel and Mediatek Bluetooth chips - Has proper sign-offs from author and maintainer (Jiri Kosina)

No `Cc: stable` or `Fixes:` tags are present, but as noted, that's expected for commits undergoing manual review.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

The actual change is minimal:

```c + { /* MX Anywhere 3S mouse over Bluetooth */ + HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_LOGITECH, 0xb037) }, ```

This adds exactly **2 lines** - one comment and one device ID entry to the `hidpp_devices[]` table. Looking at the context, this table already contains many similar Logitech Bluetooth device entries: - MX Master (0xb012), MX Master 2S (0xb019), MX Master 3 (0xb023), MX Master 3S (0xb034) - MX Anywhere 3 (0xb025), MX Anywhere 3SB (0xb038) - M720 Triathlon (0xb015), MX Ergo (0xb01d), MX Vertical (0xb020), etc.

The new entry follows the exact same pattern as all existing entries.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

This is a **NEW DEVICE ID** addition - one of the explicitly allowed exception categories for stable kernels:

"Adding PCI IDs, USB IDs, ACPI IDs, etc. to existing drivers - These

are trivial one-line additions that enable hardware support"

Key points: - The hid-logitech-hidpp driver already exists in stable kernels - The HID++ protocol support is fully implemented - Only the Bluetooth device ID 0xb037 is being added - This is not a new driver or new functionality - it's enabling an existing driver for new hardware

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

**Risk: EXTREMELY LOW**

| Factor | Assessment | |--------|------------| | Lines changed | 2 | | Files touched | 1 | | Code logic changed | None | | Complexity | Zero - pure data table entry | | Subsystem maturity | Very mature (HID drivers) |

This cannot introduce regressions because: - No code paths are modified - No functions are changed - Only users with this specific mouse over Bluetooth are affected - If there were somehow an issue, it would only affect that specific hardware

### 5. USER IMPACT

**Who benefits:** Users with Logitech MX Anywhere 3S mice using Bluetooth connection

**Without this fix:** The mouse works via basic HID, but lacks: - High-resolution scrolling - Battery status reporting - Other HID++ features that premium Logitech mice support

**Impact level:** The MX Anywhere 3S is a current-generation retail product that users are actively purchasing. Stable kernel users expect their hardware to work properly.

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- ✅ Tested by author on multiple machines with different Bluetooth chips - ✅ Reviewed and signed off by HID maintainer Jiri Kosina - ✅ Pattern is identical to many existing, working entries

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

**Dependencies:** None

This is a pure data addition. The driver framework already exists in all stable kernels that have the hid-logitech-hidpp driver. No other commits are required.

---

## Summary

This commit is a **textbook example of a stable-appropriate device ID addition**:

1. ✅ **Trivial 2-line change** - Just a device ID added to an existing table 2. ✅ **No code modifications** - Pure data entry 3. ✅ **Driver already exists** - hid-logitech-hidpp is well-established in stable 4. ✅ **Follows existing pattern** - Identical format to dozens of other entries 5. ✅ **Tested** - Verified on multiple hardware configurations 6. ✅ **Zero regression risk** - Only affects users with this specific hardware 7. ✅ **Real user benefit** - Enables proper hardware support for current-generation product 8. ✅ **No dependencies** - Can be cleanly cherry-picked to any stable kernel

The stable kernel rules explicitly allow device ID additions because they enable hardware support with virtually zero risk. This is precisely what the "device ID exception" exists for.

Some faulty devices (ZWO EFWmini) have a wrong optional HID class descriptor count compared to the provided length.

Given that we plainly ignore those optional descriptor, we can attempt to fix the provided number so we do not lock out those devices.

## Analysis of HID: usbhid: paper over wrong bNumDescriptor field

### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS

**Subject:** "HID: usbhid: paper over wrong bNumDescriptor field"

The commit message clearly states: - Some faulty devices (specifically ZWO EFWmini) report an incorrect `bNumDescriptors` count that doesn't match the actual provided length - Since the kernel already ignores optional HID class descriptors, the fix recalculates the correct value - The goal is to not "lock out" these devices that have buggy firmware

The phrase "paper over" indicates this is a **hardware workaround** for non-compliant devices.

### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS

**Location:** `drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c` in `usbhid_parse()`

**Before the fix:** ```c if (!hdesc->bNumDescriptors || hdesc->bLength != sizeof(*hdesc) + (hdesc->bNumDescriptors - 1) * sizeof(*hcdesc)) { dbg_hid("hid descriptor invalid..."); return -EINVAL; // Device rejected completely } ```

**After the fix:** Instead of immediately returning `-EINVAL`, the code now: 1. Validates minimum length: `hdesc->bLength >= sizeof(*hdesc)` 2. Recalculates the correct `bNumDescriptors` from the actual length 3. Logs a warning via `hid_warn()` 4. Only returns `-EINVAL` if the descriptor is truly too short

**Technical mechanism:** The fix derives what `bNumDescriptors` *should* be from `bLength` using: `fixed_opt_descriptors_size / sizeof(*hcdesc) + 1`. This is mathematically correct since `bLength = sizeof(*hdesc) + (bNumDescriptors-1) * sizeof(*hcdesc)`.

### 3. CLASSIFICATION

This is a **hardware quirk/workaround** - one of the explicit exceptions allowed in stable trees.

- ZWO EFWmini is a real device (electronic filter wheel for astrophotography) - The device has buggy firmware that reports incorrect descriptor metadata - The fix enables the hardware to work despite firmware bugs

### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

| Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Lines changed | ~20 lines | | Files touched | 1 | | Complexity | Low | | Risk | **LOW** |

**Risk analysis:** - The fix only triggers in the error path (when descriptor is already detected as invalid) - Normal correctly-behaved devices are completely unaffected - There's proper validation before applying the fixup - The kernel already ignores optional descriptors, so fixing the count is safe - Worst case: a truly malformed device passes this check but fails elsewhere (no worse than current behavior for users)

### 5. USER IMPACT

**Affected users:** Users with ZWO EFWmini devices and potentially other USB HID devices with similar firmware bugs.

**Impact without fix:** Device completely non-functional - rejected with `-EINVAL`.

**Impact with fix:** Device works properly. Warning message logged for debugging.

This is HIGH impact for affected users - the difference between working hardware and hardware that's completely locked out.

### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS

- **Author:** Benjamin Tissoires - the HID subsystem maintainer - **Conservative approach:** Only applies when descriptor is already flagged as invalid - **Warning logged:** `hid_warn()` documents when fixup is applied - **Proper validation:** Checks `bLength >= sizeof(*hdesc)` before attempting fix

### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK

- No dependencies on other commits - The `usbhid_parse()` function has been in the kernel for many years - Self-contained fix that applies cleanly to older kernels

### Summary

**Why this should be backported:**

1. **Hardware quirk exception:** This is explicitly listed as acceptable for stable trees - adding workarounds for devices with buggy firmware 2. **Fixes real user-impacting bug:** Real devices (ZWO EFWmini) are completely locked out without this fix 3. **Small and surgical:** ~20 lines in one file, low complexity 4. **Low risk:** Only affects already-invalid descriptors; well- validated with fallback to original behavior 5. **No new features:** Just a workaround to handle non-compliant devices 6. **Maintainer-authored:** Written by the HID subsystem maintainer 7. **No dependencies:** Self-contained and should apply cleanly

**Risk vs Benefit:** - **Risk:** Minimal - worst case is a truly malformed device passes this check but fails later - **Benefit:** High - enables working hardware for users with affected devices

This is a textbook example of a hardware quirk fix that belongs in stable trees. It enables users with buggy-firmware devices to use their hardware without affecting anyone else.
