Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
HID: nintendo: avoid bluetooth suspend/resume stalls<br />
<br />
Ensure we don&#39;t stall or panic the kernel when using bluetooth-connected<br />
controllers. This was reported as an issue on android devices using<br />
kernel 6.6 due to the resume hook which had been added for usb joycons.<br />
<br />
First, set a new state value to JOYCON_CTLR_STATE_SUSPENDED in a<br />
newly-added nintendo_hid_suspend. This makes sure we will not stall out<br />
the kernel waiting for input reports during led classdev suspend. The<br />
stalls could happen if connectivity is unreliable or lost to the<br />
controller prior to suspend.<br />
<br />
Second, since we lose connectivity during suspend, do not try<br />
joycon_init() for bluetooth controllers in the nintendo_hid_resume path.<br />
<br />
Tested via multiple suspend/resume flows when using the controller both<br />
in USB and bluetooth modes.
