Commit Message

Benjamin Tissoires Jan. 26, 2022, 4:18 p.m. UTC
HID_QUIRK_INVERT is kind of complex to deal with and was bogus.

Furthermore, it didn't make sense to use a global per struct hid_device
quirk for something dynamic as the current state.

Store the current tool information in the report itself, and re-order
the processing of the fields to enforce having all the tablet "state"
fields before getting to In Range and other input fields.

This way, we now have all the information whether a tool is present
or not while processing In Range.

This new behavior enforces that only one tool gets forwarded to userspace
at the same time, and that if either eraser or invert is set, we enforce
BTN_TOOL_RUBBER.

The whole set looks good to me, except this one. xf86-input-wacom would not process the events properly if pen and eraser events are reported through the same EV_SYN frame. That's mainly because the tool out of prox will reset all values, while some values the next tool may rely on. Please see my detailed comments inline.

X driver stores the values in different arrays/channels for each tool to post the events for each tool after all the values are processed.

OK. Right now, this series ensures we get
ERASER/TIPSWITCH/INVERT/INRANGE first before processing any other
events.

Given that ERASER/TIPSWITCH are responsible for BTN_TOUCH, I'd like to
get some clarifications (sorry dumping my brain here):

In the example of the pen moving from erasing to touching without the
intent to erase:

The HID event sequence would be:
Eraser: 1, Invert: 1, Tipswitch: 0, InRange: 1, X, Y, etc...
then
Eraser: 0, Invert: 0, Tipswitch: 1, InRange: 1, X, Y, etc...

In this current series we would get:
BTN_TOUCH 1, BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 1, X, Y, etc...
then
BTN_TOUCH 0, BTN_TOUCH 1, BTN_TOOL_PEN 1, BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 0, X, Y, etc...

(yeah, oops, there are 2 BTN_TOUCH in this sequence)

A naive change would do (instead of the last evdev event):
BTN_TOUCH 0, BTN_TOUCH 1, BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 0, *EV_SYN*, BTN_TOOL_PEN 1,
X, Y, etc...

However, I wonder if we should not have instead:
BTN_TOUCH 0, BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 0, *EV_SYN*, BTN_TOUCH 1, BTN_TOOL_PEN 1,
X, Y, etc...

That change should be easy to handle actually.

I am a little bit more concerned the other way around:
touching without the intent to erase to erase:
HID events:
Eraser: 0, Invert: 0, Tipswitch: 1, InRange: 1, X, Y, etc...
Eraser: 1, Invert: 1, Tipswitch: 0, InRange: 1, X, Y, etc...

The current series gives:
BTN_TOUCH 1, BTN_TOOL_PEN 1, X, Y, etc...
then
BTN_TOOL_PEN 1, BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 1, X, Y, etc...

(no BTN_TOUCH events)

And I think to get to the "correct" sequence I would have to store more states:
BTN_TOUCH 0, BTN_TOOL_PEN 0, *EV_SYN*, BTN_TOUCH 1, BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 1,
X, Y, etc...

I think the main problem is how to handle BTN_TOUCH correctly (and
PRESSURE is also in the middle). When this event is not set, it should
be easier to add the EV_SYN between the BTN_TOOL_*.

Well, there is already the problem of that BTN_TOUCH 0/1 in one frame
that is not very clean. And if we can not break userspace that would
be best (note that the current kernel is completely sending random
events for those transitions, so in a way it's still slightly better).

Benjamin
