Hi Jiri, Greg,

this should go into the current tree and the stable tree.

	Regards

OK, Greg, hold your fire. Jiri is this necessary in stable?

Hi,

no, it's not. 2.6.31 doesn't do any allocation in hid_input_report(), this 
is new with HID debugging through debugfs that went to Linus in 2.6.32 
merge window.

The fix for this particular problem is already on its way upstream, 
waiting for Linus to pull.

Thanks,
