The patch titled keyboard.c: stop flooding dmesg with useless warnings has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was keyboardc-stop-flooding-dmesg-with-useless-warnings.patch This patch was dropped because it is obsolete ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: keyboard.c: stop flooding dmesg with useless warnings From: Parag Warudkar <parag.warudkar@xxxxxxxxx> I use Apple keyboard and mouse which seem to generate events with keycode==0. keyboard.c floods dmesg endlessly with below messages. This happens at a very fast rate and never stops, leaving the dmesg unusable. [46591.960000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46591.996000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.032000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.068000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.104000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.140000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.176000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.212000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 [46592.248000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0 The patch below avoids printing the warning if keycode == KEY_RESERVED.
