For example AMD ACPI interface overloads ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE (0x81) to signal AMD-specific events. In such cases we don't want to send the keypress (KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE) to the userspace because the user did not press the mode switch key (the spurious keypress confuses the DE which usually changes the display configuration and messes up a dual-screen setup). This patch gives the handlers the chance to examine the event and block the keypress if the event is device specific. v2: refactor as suggested by Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Luca Tettamanti Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher --- diff --git a/drivers/acpi/video.c b/drivers/acpi/video.c index 1e0a9e17c31d..f94d4c818fc7 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/video.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/video.c @@ -1448,8 +1448,7 @@ static void acpi_video_bus_notify(struct acpi_device *device, u32 event) case ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_SWITCH: /* User requested a switch, * most likely via hotkey. */ acpi_bus_generate_proc_event(device, event, 0); - if (!acpi_notifier_call_chain(device, event, 0)) - keycode = KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE; + keycode = KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE; break; case ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE: /* User plugged in or removed a video @@ -1479,8 +1478,9 @@ static void acpi_video_bus_notify(struct acpi_device *device, u32 event) break; } - if (event != ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_SWITCH) - acpi_notifier_call_chain(device, event, 0); + if (acpi_notifier_call_chain(device, event, 0)) + /* Something vetoed the keypress. */ + keycode = 0; if (keycode) { input_report_key(input, keycode, 1);
