Subject[PATCH v3] dell-rbtn: Ignore ACPI notifications if device is suspended
Message-ID<rebns-2tp-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
Some BIOSes unconditionally send an ACPI notification to RBTN when the
system is resuming from suspend. This makes dell-rbtn send an input
event to userspace as if a function key was pressed. Prevent this by
ignoring all the notifications received while the device is suspended.

I case when acpi_os_execute success it calls rbtn_acpi_clear_flag,
right? And that will set suspended to false. When acpi_os_execute fails,
then it set suspended too to false... Then whole acpi_os_execute doing
just "barrier" after which suspended flag can be set to false. So I
think rbtn_acpi_clear_flag function is not needed here.

Cannot you pass NULL or empty function pointer as callback? Or what was
reason to do that flag clearing at "two places"?

acpi_os_execute doesn't wait for the callback to be executed, so
I can't clear the flag from rbtn_resume.

acpi_os_execute calls callback asynchronously later? Or what exactly do it?

In this case, it adds the callback to the kacpi_notify_wq workqueue
for deferred execution.

+Rafael for context/advice on the use of acpi_os_execute here.

This is true, but a quick scan through that call path doesn't tell me why we
would need to call it here instead of just setting rbtn_data->suspended = false.
The comment suggests waiting for the event, but is that what this is doing? It
appears to me to be immediately scheduling the function to a work queue, not
waiting for the event notifier.

Also, since there is no indication to the user that a failure occurs, this
function is basically equivalent in the success and failure case (the success
case is just slower).

Am I missing something critical here?

Maybe saying that we are waiting for the extra event is not really
correct. Since the extra ACPI notification is processed by means
of kacpi_notify_wq, or at least that's my understanding, our callback
is likely going to be executed after we received the extra ACPI
notification. This was suggested by Rafael [2].

The problem with setting the flag directly from the resume callback
is that the extra notification might arrive after we cleared the
flag, causing spurious input events [1].

I see, the workqueue is run after the event is issued. If that's the case, how
are we ensured that it will get cleared? Isn't it only some systems that have
this problem?

What happens to the systems that do not send this event at resume? Does the
suspended flag remain set?

The callback should be executed as long as acpi_os_execute doesn't
return an error. If the BIOS doesn't send the extra notification,
we uselessly wait for whatever was queued before our callback.

On my laptop, the interval between the call to acpi_os_execute and
the callback execution is ~200ms (rough existimation using a couple
of printks), so not really noticeable. It might be more on some other
systems, but I doubt anyone would notice.

And what triggers the callback then? Some unrelated event triggering the
workqueue I presume? I don't care to tie the masking of these events to
unrelated ones. What guarantee do we have that they will fire? Is it possible
for that workqueue to be otherwise empty and not get triggered, effectively
disabling our events?

acpi_os_execute creates a work item for the callback and adds it
to the kacpi_notify_wq workqueue. Nothing triggers it, it just
waits for its turn.

The BIOS sends the notification immediately at resume, so the work
item that handles it is likely going to get queued before our work
item. In my case, the notification is handled even before dell-rbtn
is resumed (and that's why the original worked fine for me).

I think this is supposed to work as a barrier.  That is, it will only run after
all events in the queue have been processed.

I'm not sure if that's necessary, though.
