Input: include export.h in modules using EXPORT_SYMBOL*()

2025-08-21T19:00:59Z

A number of modules in the input subsystem use EXPORT_SYMBOL() and friends without explicitly including the corresponding header . While the build currently succeeds due to this header being pulled in transitively, this is not guaranteed to be the case in the future. Let's add the explicit include to make the dependencies clear and prevent future build breakage. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: i8042 - Add support for platform filter contexts

2025-01-15T14:26:39Z

Currently the platform filter cannot access any driver-specific state which forces drivers installing a i8042 filter to have at least some kind of global pointer for their filter. Allow callers of i8042_install_filter() to submit a context pointer which is then passed to the i8042 filter. This frees drivers from the responsibility of having to manage this global pointer themself. Also introduce a separate type for the i8042 filter (i8042_filter_t) so that the function definitions can stay compact. Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

Input: switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-15T18:43:25Z

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/input/ to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer. While touching these files, make indention of the struct initializer consistent in a few drivers.

Input: i8042 - use guard notation when acquiring spinlock

2024-10-04T07:58:16Z

Using guard notation makes the code more compact and error handling more robust by ensuring that locks are released in all code paths when control leaves critical section. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240905041732.2034348-14-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: i8042 - add forcenorestore quirk to leave controller untouched even on s3

2024-08-19T04:28:23Z

On s3 resume the i8042 driver tries to restore the controller to a known state by reinitializing things, however this can confuse the controller with different effects. Mostly occasionally unresponsive keyboards after resume. These issues do not rise on s0ix resume as here the controller is assumed to preserved its state from before suspend. This patch adds a quirk for devices where the reinitialization on s3 resume is not needed and might be harmful as described above. It does this by using the s0ix resume code path at selected locations. This new quirk goes beyond what the preexisting reset=never quirk does, which only skips some reinitialization steps.

Input: serio - use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

2024-06-07T18:59:21Z

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type) due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

Input: i8042 - convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-09-24T02:28:13Z

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

Input: i8042 - fix leaking of platform device on module removal

2022-11-18T23:59:02Z

Avoid resetting the module-wide i8042_platform_device pointer in i8042_probe() or i8042_remove(), so that the device can be properly destroyed by i8042_exit() on module unload.

Input: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.
