[PATCH 2/4] Input: introduce ABS_MAX2/CNT2 and friends

David Herrmann dh.herrmann at gmail.com
Tue Dec 17 07:48:52 PST 2013


As we painfully noticed during the 3.12 merge-window our
EVIOCGABS/EVIOCSABS API is limited to ABS_MAX<=0x3f. We tried several
hacks to work around it but if we ever decide to increase ABS_MAX, the
EVIOCSABS ioctl ABI might overflow into the next byte causing horrible
misinterpretations in the kernel that we cannot catch.

Therefore, we decided to go with ABS_MAX2/CNT2 and introduce two new
ioctls to get/set abs-params. They no longer encode the ABS code in the
ioctl number and thus allow up to 4 billion ABS codes.

The new API also allows to query multiple ABS values with one call. To
allow EVIOCSABS2(code = 0, cnt = ABS_CNT2) we need to silently ignore
writes to ABS_MT_SLOT. Furthermore, for better compatibility with
newer user-space, we ignore writes to unknown codes. Hence, if we ever
increase ABS_MAX2, new user-space will work with code=0,cnt=ABS_CNT2 just
fine even on old kernels.

Note that we also need to increase EV_VERSION so user-space can reliably
know whether ABS2 is supported. Unfortunately, we return EINVAL instead of
ENOSYS for unknown evdev ioctls so it's nearly impossible to catch
reliably without EVIOCGVERSION.
