[PATCH] HID: rmi: check sanity of the incoming report

[PATCH] HID: rmi: check sanity of the incoming report

[Benjamin Tissoires]

In the Dell XPS 13 9333, it appears that sometimes the bus get confused
and corrupts the incoming data. It fills the input report with the
sentinel value "ff". Synaptics told us that such behavior does not comes
from the touchpad itself, so we filter out such reports here.

Unfortunately, we can not simply discard the incoming data because they
may contain useful information. Most of the time, the misbehavior is
quite near the end of the report, so we can still use the valid part of
it.

Do you perhaps want to warn the user here, so that he knows that things 
are getting a little bit hairy? Or is this happening so often that it 
makes no sense to warn about it?

I wanted to check on that yesterday, but I have been side tracked quite
a lot. So:
I think there might be too much messages to unconditionally notify the
user here. I do not see a better way than limiting the number to 10 or
so before giving up the notifications. Ideally, I would love to notify
the user when useful information is lost, but I did not came up with a
solution quickly.

On the other hand, not having the coordinates is not that much of a
problem I think. But, missing a f30 message (button event) is much more
of a problem, and I think we should notify the user there unconditionally
because there will be stuck pointers if the failure happens during a
release.

v2 should be on its way something like next week unless somebody else
wants to take over.

Cheers,
Benjamin

I think there should also be a check in rmi_f30_input_event to make sure 
that the F30 data is also valid. The F30 data is at the end of the HID 
report so if the F30 interrupt bit is set, but the value in the report 
is FF then there might be some unintended button events. I think 
checking that size > 0 would be sufficient to make sure the F30 data is 
valid.

Other then that, the sanity check and validation in rmi_f11_input_event 
look good to me.

Yeah :(
Actually, I am missing too checks in f11 and f30. If the size is <= 0,
then bail out before doing anything.
