Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 17:38:51 +0200 From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com> To: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Hans de Bruin <jmdebruin@...net.nl>, Pali Rohár <pali.rohar@...il.com>, linux-input@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 4.0 REGRESSION FIX 0/1] alps: Fix left touchpad button getting stuck Hi Linus, Dmitry, Sorry for the last minute regression fix, but the existence of this regression was not entirely clear until Hans de Bruin send a very clear reproducer this morning. I'm not sure if this is 4.0 material, it does fix a real regression, the fix is pretty simple and safe (*), and when triggered the behavior (stuck mouse button) is nasty, which all counts in favor of fixing this. OTOH this only affects somewhat older hardware and only a certain usage pattern (using the trackpoint with the touchpad buttons). Anyways the call if this is 4.0 material is up to you (Linus and Dmitry), I'm just trying to make sure you're aware of this issue and the patch. The details of the actual bug + fix can be found in the commit msg of the patch. Regards, Hans *) The fix restores 3.19 behavior for alps v2 dualpoint touchpad/stick combos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
