Ok, I apparently missed this whole subthread yesterday, only getting back to it when going over my old queues.

Also, the printk could certainly be a bit more useful. But before doing _any_ of that, the first thing to do should be to not have that four-deep indentation by just splitting that horrible function up a bit. IOW, start off with a patch like the appended, and _then_ add the special case handling to the EV_KEY thing. It would probably be most easily done by just literally limiting "len" to OLD_KEY_MAX. Something like #define OLD_KEY_MAX 0x1ff ... case EV_KEY: bits = dev->keybit; len = KEY_MAX; /* Hacky workaround for old bug in Xorg */ if (buf_len == OLD_KEY_MAX) len = OLD_KEY_MAX; break; ... or similar. Yeah, it's not pretty, but pragmatism before beauty.
