Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.12] HID: logitech-hidpp: Add HIDPP_QUIRK_RESET_HI_RES_SCROLL
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 20:38:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028003940.884625-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251028003940.884625-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Stuart Hayhurst <stuart.a.hayhurst@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit ed80cc4667ac997b84546e6d35f0a0ae525d239c ]
The Logitech G502 Hero Wireless's high resolution scrolling resets after
being unplugged without notifying the driver, causing extremely slow
scrolling.
The only indication of this is a battery update packet, so add a quirk to
detect when the device is unplugged and re-enable the scrolling.

## BACKPORT ANALYSIS RESULT
**Answer: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
---
## DETAILED ANALYSIS
### 1. SEMANTIC CODE ANALYSIS PERFORMED
I used the following semantic code analysis tools to examine this commit
in the kernel repository:
**Tool: mcp__semcode__find_function**
- Located all modified functions: `hidpp_raw_hidpp_event`,
`hi_res_scroll_enable`, `hidpp_probe`, `hidpp_remove`
- Identified new handler function: `hidpp_reset_hi_res_handler`
- Verified function implementations and their call patterns
**Tool: mcp__semcode__find_callers**
- `hidpp_raw_hidpp_event` is called by: `hidpp_raw_event` (HID core
callback - entry point from hardware)
- `hi_res_scroll_enable` is called by: `hidpp_connect_event` (device
initialization)
- Impact: Limited to single driver, triggered by hardware events
**Tool: mcp__semcode__find_calls**
- `hi_res_scroll_enable` calls: `hidpp_hrw_set_wheel_mode`,
`hidpp_hrs_set_highres_scrolling_mode`,
`hidpp10_enable_scrolling_acceleration`
- All dependencies already exist in the driver
- Safe to call multiple times (idempotent device configuration)
### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS
**Changes Made:**
1. **Added quirk bit**: `HIDPP_QUIRK_RESET_HI_RES_SCROLL` (BIT(30))
2. **Added work structure**: `struct work_struct reset_hi_res_work` in
`struct hidpp_device`
3. **Added work handler**: `hidpp_reset_hi_res_handler()` - 4 lines,
simply calls `hi_res_scroll_enable(hidpp)`
4. **Modified `hidpp_raw_hidpp_event`**: Added 7 lines to detect battery
status transition (offline→online) and schedule work
5. **Modified `hidpp_probe`**: Added
`INIT_WORK(&hidpp->reset_hi_res_work, hidpp_reset_hi_res_handler)`
6. **Modified `hidpp_remove`**: Added
`cancel_work_sync(&hidpp->reset_hi_res_work)` for proper cleanup
7. **Device ID table**: Added quirk to Logitech G502 Lightspeed (USB ID
0x407f)
**Key Implementation Details:**
- Detects device reconnection by monitoring `hidpp->battery.online`
transition from 0→1
- Only active when `HIDPP_QUIRK_RESET_HI_RES_SCROLL` quirk is set
(device-specific)
- Uses work queue pattern already established in driver (`hidpp->work`)
- Proper synchronization with `cancel_work_sync()` in cleanup path
### 3. IMPACT SCOPE ASSESSMENT
**User-Facing Impact:**
- Bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218037
- **Symptom**: After unplugging/replugging G502 Hero Wireless mouse,
scrolling becomes extremely slow (requires 4-5 clicks per scroll
action)
- **Root cause**: Device hardware resets hi-res scrolling mode but
doesn't notify driver
- **User experience**: Severely degraded usability - mouse essentially
becomes unusable for scrolling
**Exposure:**
- Limited to single device model: Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless
Gaming Mouse
- Only affects users who unplug/replug their wireless receiver
- Battery event packets already processed by driver, new code only adds
detection logic
**Call Graph Analysis:**
```
Hardware Event → hid_raw_event (HID core)
↓
hidpp_raw_event (driver callback)
↓
hidpp_raw_hidpp_event (event processor)
↓
[battery event handlers update battery.online]
↓
schedule_work(&reset_hi_res_work) [NEW - quirk gated]
↓
hidpp_reset_hi_res_handler [NEW]
↓
hi_res_scroll_enable (existing function)
```
### 4. RISK ASSESSMENT
**Low Risk Factors:**
1. **Device-specific**: Quirk flag limits impact to one device model
2. **Idempotent operation**: `hi_res_scroll_enable()` can be called
multiple times safely (verified via semantic analysis)
3. **Existing code path**: Only calls existing initialization function
used during device probe
4. **Proper cleanup**: Work cancellation in remove path prevents use-
after-free
5. **Minimal code**: 21 lines added total (excluding comments/blank
lines)
**Regression Analysis:**
- No changes to existing code paths for other devices
- Battery event processing unchanged (only adds observation)
- Work queue pattern already proven in driver (`hidpp->work`)
- No locking changes or race condition introduction
### 5. STABLE TREE COMPLIANCE
**Meets Stable Tree Rules:**
- ✅ **Bug fix**: Fixes functional regression (scrolling broken after
replug)
- ✅ **No new features**: Only re-initializes existing hi-res scroll
functionality
- ✅ **No architectural changes**: Uses existing driver patterns
- ✅ **Small and contained**: Single driver, single device, 21 lines
- ✅ **Low risk**: Device-specific quirk, well-tested code paths
- ✅ **User-facing**: Directly impacts usability
**Backport Indicators Present:**
- References bug report (bugzilla #218037)
- Signed-off-by maintainer (Jiri Kosina, HID subsystem maintainer)
- Clear problem description in commit message
- Appeared in v6.18-rc2
**Missing (but not blockers):**
- No "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag (can be added during backport)
- No "Fixes:" tag (bug existed since device support added)
### 6. DEPENDENCY ANALYSIS
**Required Functions (all exist in target trees):**
- `hi_res_scroll_enable()` - drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c:3669
- `schedule_work()` - kernel work queue API
- `INIT_WORK()` - kernel work queue API
- `cancel_work_sync()` - kernel work queue API
- Battery event handling infrastructure - already present
**No New Dependencies:**
- Uses only existing kernel APIs
- No new structure definitions beyond work_struct member
- No external subsystem changes
### 7. RECOMMENDATION RATIONALE
This commit is an **excellent backport candidate** because:
1. **Fixes real user pain**: Broken scrolling makes device unusable
2. **Safe and contained**: Limited to single device via quirk flag
3. **Low regression risk**: Reuses proven code paths, minimal new code
4. **Follows stable rules**: Pure bug fix, no features or architectural
changes
5. **Semantic analysis confirms**: Clean dependencies, safe call
patterns, isolated impact
6. **Proper engineering**: Includes cleanup path, follows driver
patterns
**Priority Level**: MEDIUM-HIGH
- Not security critical, but significantly impacts user experience for
affected device
- Should be included in next stable release for affected kernel versions
**Target Kernel Versions:**
- All stable trees where Logitech G502 Lightspeed support exists (commit
a343a7682acc5 from June 2023)
- Likely candidates: 6.4.x, 6.5.x, 6.6.x (LTS), 6.7.x, 6.8.x, 6.9.x,
6.10.x, 6.11.x, 6.12.x, 6.13.x, 6.14.x, 6.15.x, 6.16.x, 6.17.x
