Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Input: evdev/uinput errno alignment
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:27:50 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831192752.258550-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831152156.166514-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com>
Two small fixes making evdev and uinput report the error codes their
uapi documentation promises.
Changes since v1:
- Dropped the ABS_MT_SLOT "minimum must be 0" validation from patch 2.
It was a userspace regression: uinput_create_device() already calls
input_mt_init_slots() for devices declaring ABS_MT_SLOT, and
input_mt_init_slots() overwrites the axis with
input_set_abs_params(dev, ABS_MT_SLOT, 0, num_slots - 1, 0, 0).
A non-zero minimum is therefore accepted today and silently
corrected, so rejecting it with -EINVAL would break existing
callers.
- Patch 2 is now limited to the -ERANGE to -EINVAL change and its
commit message was reworded accordingly.
- Patch 1 is unchanged.
