CVE-2026-90330: HID: logitech-hidpp: Fix FF device cleanup on init failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: logitech-hidpp: Fix FF device cleanup on init failure

hidppffinit() creates the input force-feedback device with inputffcreate(), then allocates the HID++ FF private data, effect ID array, and workqueue.

If any of those allocations fail after inputffcreate() succeeds, the function returns an error without destroying the FF device. Add an unwind path that frees the private allocations made by hidppffinit() and calls inputffdestroy() for failures after inputffcreate() succeeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Under what condition does the cleanup issue occur?

It occurs when input_ff_create() succeeds during hidpp_ff_init(), but a later allocation of the HID++ force-feedback private data, effect ID array, or workqueue fails.

2

What does the fix clean up on an initialization failure?

The added unwind path frees the private allocations made by hidpp_ff_init() and destroys the force-feedback device with input_ff_destroy().
