We're trying to get more directly and actively involved in the open source community to improve the Linux experience on Lenovo devices and of course want to make sure we contribute the right way. We're all still pretty new so pointers and help are very much appreciated (we've been getting some great support from the distros to get us started). > > For this particular issue what is the best way to contribute and get involved? We'd like to make it so ePrivacy can be used more easily from Linux. I agree a more generic way of controlling it would be good. > I looked at the proposed patch from Rajat (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/22/967) - it seems like a good solution to me. We can help with testing that on our platforms if that would be useful. Thanks you, just so that you know, the latest patchset is at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/20/794 It would be great to get some additional testing if possible. I can send a sample ACPI (for our platform) in case it helps. > > I need to understand how we connect that implementation with the ACPI controls we have (as I believe what we have are thinkpad specific and not to a drm spec; we need to confirm that). We also have the ACPI events that notify if ePrivacy was changed by the hotkeys and that seems like something that should be done in thinkpad_acpi.c and not the drm code. Not sure if the two need to be connected somehow (or if handling the event is actually not important and polling is acceptable)? So there was some brief discussion about this on my patches - but atleast on the platforms I have seen, there was no way to change the privacy screen out of software / kernel control. Essentially, if there are hotkeys, they would send an input event to the kernel, who'd send them to userspace, who'd use the DRM method to toggle the privacy screen. Thus the current version of the patch only supports controlling the privacy screen via set() method. The get() method just returns the cached value.I hope that works for you. Jani, I'm waiting on your inputs here https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/24/1932 in order to send the next iteration of my patch. Can you please let me know if you have any comments.
