[PATCH HID v3 0/9] HID: bpf: add a new hook to control hid-generic

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

 



This is a slight change from the fundamentals of HID-BPF.
In theory, HID-BPF is abstract to the kernel itself, and makes
only changes at the HID level (through report descriptors or
events emitted to/from the device).

However, we have seen a few use cases where HID-BPF might interact with
the running kernel when the target device is already handled by a
specific device.

For example, the XP-Pen/Huion/UC-Logic tablets are handled by
hid-uclogic but this driver is also doing a report descriptor fixup
without checking if the device has already been fixed by HID-BPF.

In the same way, another recent example[0] was when a cheap foot pedal is
used and tricks iPhones and Windows machines by presenting itself as a
known Apple wireless keyboard. The problem is that this fake keyboard is
not presenting a compatible report descriptor and hid-core merges all
device nodes together making libinput ignore the keyboard part for
historical reasons.

This series aims at tackling this problem:
- first, we promote hid_bpf_report_descriptor_fixup to be called before
  any driver is even matched for the device
- then we allow hdev->quirks to be written during report_fixup and add a
  new quirk to force hid-core to ignore any non hid-generic driver.

Basically, it means that when we insert a BPF program to fix a device,
we can force hid-generic to handle the device, and thus preventing
any other kernel driver to tamper with our device.

This branch is on top of the for-6.12/upstream-fixes branch of hid.git.

Changes in v3:
- dropped the last 2 patches with hid-input control, as I'm not 100%
  sure of it
- changed the first patch to avoid a double free on cleanup of a device
  when a HID-BPF program was attached
- kept Peter's rev-by for all but patches 1 and 6
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240910-hid-bpf-hid-generic-v2-0-083dfc189e97@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Refactored the API to not use a new hook but hid_bpf_rdesc_fixup
  instead
- Some cleanups in hid-core.c probe() device to not kmemdup multiple
  time the report descriptor when it's not required
- I'm still not 100% sure the HID_QUIRK_IGNORE_HIDINPUT is that
  required, but I can not think of anything else at the moment to
  temporary disable any driver input device.
