Subject: [PATCH] Input: ALPS - add interleaved protocol support (Dell E6x00 series)

commit 1d9f26262aef6d63ff65eba0fd5f1583f342b69b upstream

Properly handle version of the protocol where standard PS/2 packets
from trackpoint are stuffed into middle (byte 3-6) of the standard
ALPS packets when both the touchpad and trackpoint are used together.

The patch is based on work done by Matthew Chapman and additional
research done by David Kubicek and Erik Osterholm:

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/296610

Many thanks to David Kubicek for his efforts in researching fine points
of this new version of the protocol, especially interaction between pad
and stick in these models.

Cherrypick to 2.6.31 by Andy Isaacson <adi@hexapodia.org>.  Tested on
Dell E4300.

I am a bit uncertain about this patch in stable from the view of regression
avoidance. Looking over the patch its hard to tell for certain whether the path
of execution is the same as before for the non-interleaved protocol.
Dmitry, how do you feel about it? Or maybe there has even be positive testing
with non-interleaved hardware with that patch.

Umm, it is a bit large for -stable to my taste. However without the
patch the affected laptops are pretty much unusable so I think we better
get it in. The non-interleaved devices should continue to work fine, at
least I don't see any adverse effects on my d630 (caveat - I am not
using _this_ version of the patch but rather what is currently in Linus's
tree).

Thanks.

I agree, the interleaved protocol support is awfully high-impact for
-stable.  However as you've observed, the affected machines are really
unusable without some fix.

Personally I'm fine maintaining the backport locally, but it'd be nice
to fix this for Karmic as well.

I'll do some testing on non-Dell hardware tomorrow.

For what it's worth, we already added this to Debian kernel packages and
I don't believe we've seen any bug reports related to it.

That sounds good. Thanks for that feedback Ben. For the Ubuntu part, I dicussed
this with Andy and we agreed to take it into Lucid first and then roll it back
to Karmic after a little delay.

What -stable tree is this for?  .31 is no longer being maintained.  Is
this the proper patch for .32?  .27?

Ick, that's a big patch, and kind of violates the -stable rules, right?
It's a "add new functionality" type thing that you are doing here from
what I can tell.  This doesn't fix a regression, does it?

Well, yes and no. As shipped .32 (and earlier) has the signature for
ALPS that is installed in those newer Latitudes so we try to activate
ALPS protocol for their touchpads. Unfortunately without the patch the
protocol desyncs all the time, making trackpoint/touchpad unuseable.

IOW if you are an owner of said Latitude you want this patch _very
much_. But yes, the patch is sizeable.

So is this something that you, as the maintainer of the subsystem, would
recommend that I consider for the -stable tree because of this
situation?

Yes, I am recommending it. The new behavior should be mostly contained
by ALPS_INTERLEAVED flag that is only set for one particular signature;
the rest of devices should not be affected.

The patch could be made smaller (there are some comments and a bit of
restructuring that could be cut out) but given that it is in Debian for
some time I question whether introducing 3rd, less tested variant to
reduce patch line count makes sense.

Thanks.

Ok, I've now queued this up for the next .32 release, thanks.
