[PATCH 00/18] HID: Include current HID-BPF fixes in tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I introduced HID-BPF, I mentioned that we should ship the HID-BPF
programs in the kernel when they are fixes so that everybody can benefit
from them.

I tried multiple times to do so but I was confronted to a tough problem:
how can I make the kernel load them automatically?

I went over a few solutions, but it always came down to something either
ugly, or either not satisfying (like forcing `bpftool` to be compiled
first, or not being able to insert them as a module).

OTOH, I was working with Peter on `udev-hid-bpf`[0] as a proof of
concept on how a minimal loader should look like. This allowed me to
experiment on the BPF files and how they should look like.

And after further thoughts, I realized that `udev-hid-bpf` could very
well be the `kmod load` that we currently have:
- the kernel handles the device normally
- a udev event is emitted
- a udev rule fires `udev-hid-bpf` and load the appropriate HID-BPF
  file(s) based on the modalias

Given that most HID devices are supposed to work to a minimal level when
connected without any driver, this makes the whole HID-BPF programs nice
to have but not critical. We can then postpone the HID-BPF loading when
userspace is ready.

Working with HID-BPF is also a much better user experience for end users
(as I predicted). All they have to do is to go to the `udev-hid-bpf`
project, fetch an artifact from the MR that concerns them, run
`install.sh` (no compilation required), and their devices are fixed
(minus some back and forth when the HID-BPF program needs some changes).

So I already have that loader available, and it works well enough for
our users. But the missing point was still how to "upstream" those BPF
fixes?

That's where this patch series comes in: we simply store the fixes in
the kernel under `drivers/hid/bpf/progs`, provide a way to compile them,
but also add tests for them in the selftests dir.

Once a program is accepted here, for convenience, the same program will
move from a "testing" directory to a "stable" directory on
`udev-hid-bpf`. This way, distributions don't need to follow when there
is a new program added here, they can just ship the "stable" ones from
`udev-hid-bpf`.
