Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Input: uinput: return -EINVAL for out-of-range UI_ABS_SETUP axis code
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:27:52 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831192752.258550-3-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831152156.166514-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com>

uinput_abs_setup() rejects an axis code above ABS_MAX with -ERANGE, but
the UI_ABS_SETUP documentation in include/uapi/linux/uinput.h states the
ioctl may only fail with -EINVAL, -ENOMEM or -EFAULT. An out-of-range
code is exactly the "incorrect values" case described there, and every
other validation failure in this path already returns -EINVAL.

Return -EINVAL so the code matches its documented uapi contract.
