Hi Lv, I am trying to reduce the number of parallel discussion we have on the same subject, but there is something here I can't let you have.

And if you boot with button.lid_init_state=close, undock your laptop, go into suspend, resume -> the lid state is now "closed" while it should be opened. So no, these are just workarounds. i915/nouveau expect the acpi/button state to be reliable, or they should ignore it. But you can't fake events when you are not absolutely sure of what is happening. > 1. button driver sends open/close to input layer after boot/resume > 2. button driver sends _LID return value to i915 after boot/resume (PATCH 4) > So that i915 can just use the notified value in this patch (PATCH 5). > For nouveau, no change has been made for now, and as a concequence, acpi_lid_open() is still kept but marked as deprecated. > >> >> See my reply of PATCH 4. >> It seems they trust _LID return value more than what we send to them. >> >> We can actually send faked "open/close" to them when button.lid_init_state=open/close is specified. >> >> So these 2 patches [PATCH 4-5/5] are used to do a small cleanup for lid event notifier APIs. >> I think they are not strictly related to the lid issues we are talking about. > > See Documentation/acpi/acpi-lid.txt: > The _LID control method is described to return the "current" lid state. > However the word of "current" has ambiguity, some buggy AML tables return > the lid state upon the last lid notification instead of returning the lid > state upon the last _LID evaluation. > > In order to have acpi lid event notifier API compliant to the above mentioned both "buggy" and "nonbuggy" implementation. > The ensured lid event model interface should be: > 1.

I understand all of that. But my point is still that on some platforms, the lid acpi state is not reliable, and the code in i915/nouveau is not made for those platforms. So the ideal solution is to know which platforms are problematic and take the right decisions having everything at hands. Just "fixing" the internal API won't help teaching these drivers to not make the assumption that the _LID acpi call is always correct. So yes, nouveau/i915 might need to be fixed, but IMO, fixing acpi/button to report correct (true, accurate, actual, or physical if you prefer) is the best, future proof way (minus platform quirks).
