Subject: hid-core: fix lockdep in hid_input_report()
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 08:15:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090919081549.669b6773.krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> (raw)

From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl>

There is a lockdep warning in the hid_input_report() due to dynamic allocation
of a temporary buffer.
Change the buffer to a local variable. The buffer size is 512 chars.

The lockdep trace is:
