Hello Mr. Torokhov,
Hope you are doing great!
Could you please help to update about below version of the patch?
--
Copying text about last two problems in v8:
Problem 1: Handle EVIOCG[type] for queue empty case
--> Done
Queue empty condition needs to be added before calling evdev_queue_syn_dropped.
Since there is a rare chance that new packet gets inserted between buffer_lock
mutex unlocking and copying events to user space, so I will check whether queue
is empty or not before __evdev_flush_queue and then use it before invoking
evdev_queue_syn_dropped.
And if queue is not empty then there is no problem as after flushing some
events we always have atleast one SYN_REPORT event left in queue.
Problem 2: We try to pass full packets to clients, but there is no guarantee.
--> Done
>From my earlier patch discussion regarding dropping syn_report in between a
single packet it was deduced that since no driver is currently using that code
so there is no impact. Hence for this problem too, we are good to go.~
(Although from code reading/learning perspective, I would still suggest to not
have code of forceful sun_report event addition even if no driver using that
code :-) )
Have a good day!
Best Regards,
Aniroop Mathur
