Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] Input: evdev/uinput errno alignment
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:21:54 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831152156.166514-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Two small fixes so ioctl failures match what helpers and uapi docs
already document.

Patch 1 propagates the return value of input_ff_effect_from_user()
from EVIOCSFF instead of always mapping failures to -EFAULT (wrong
size becomes -EINVAL).

Patch 2 returns -EINVAL for UI_ABS_SETUP when the axis code is out of
range (was -ERANGE) and rejects ABS_MT_SLOT with a non-zero minimum.

Base: v7.3-rc1

Tested: built bzImage with CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=y and CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y;
QEMU initramfs smoke:

  - UI_ABS_SETUP with code > ABS_MAX → EINVAL
  - UI_ABS_SETUP ABS_MT_SLOT with min != 0 → EINVAL
  - EVIOCSFF with wrong size → EINVAL

Thanks,
Iván
