Hi, Please keep me Cc:ed in any replies as I'm not on these lists. Description of the fix is in the commit message for the patch. Discussion: Given that most distributions were already statically linking i8042.c, having it not unload even if there is no i8042 device seems a better fix than the alternatives: a) requiring users build a kernel with CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y; b) duplicating the needed bits from atkbd.c in hyperv-keyboard, or; c) this patch, but with a "stay_resident=1" option to enable the workaround. Detecting presence of Hyper-V could be handled by udev, which would pass this option, but every distribution would need to fix their rules (certainly we don't want to check for Hyper-V in i8042.c) Mark Laws (1): Input: i8042 - Fix console keyboard support on Gen2 Hyper-V VMs drivers/input/serio/i8042.c | 43 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.8.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
