Could you please explain what you mean exactly so that I could answer it
properly?

I would like to explain for clock change request case so that you can know
my understanding for your question.
Clock change request case:
1.1 About last event being valid and unconsumed:
We flush buffer and queue syn_dropped only when buffer is not empty. So there
will be always be atleast one event in buffer that is not consumed and is
ofcourse valid.
1.2 About queue is empty
If not empty, we do not flush or add syn_dropped at all.
1.3 About consumption of full or partial packet
If client has consumed full packet, then buffer will look like,
... X Y S(consumed) ... X Y S
As we always store packets keeping buffer lock and not single events, so there
will always be syn_report in the end.
If syn_dropped is queued here, then queing syn_report is fine.
If client has consumed partial packet, then buffer will look like,
... X(consumed) Y S ... S
If syn_dropped is queued here, then it is fine to queue syn_report because
now new X Y will be reported by driver, and so client will consume new X and Y
and that old X will be replaced with new X and this new packet will be sent by
client to application. Obviously, client never sends partial events to
application and send data packet by packet.
So I do not see any trouble here related to partial or full packet.

Difference from v5:
Made a mistake about head index in v5.
Corrected in v8.
evdev_set_clk_type:
- client->packet_head = client->head = client->tail;
+ client->packet_head = client->tail = client->head;
__pass_event:
- client->tail = (client->head - 2) & (client->bufsize - 1);
+ client->head = (client->head - 1) & mask;
+ client->packet_head = client->tail = client->head;
+ __evdev_queue_syn_dropped(client);
v6:
Made change only for clock change and pass event function.
Do not included change for evdev_flush_queue as I was not sure.
But now I think it is okay for evdev_flush_queue also.
As I am not 100% sure, so sent v6 for that.
v7:
please ignore it.
Thanks,
