Hi Dmitry,
Do you have any feedback, or can you pick up this patch? It solves a real issue affecting udev, which crashes the Debian installer and breaks the mouse for Gnome.
Or would you be okay if this patch went in via the Xen tree?
I'd rather not. Could you please ping me in 2 weeks on this. I promise we find a solution before the next release.
It's been ~3 weeks. Any ideas?
If you think this patch should be pursued in this form, I'd like to post a v4 that adds BTN_DPAD_{UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT} on the off chance someone wants to use a controller. I dropped them initially since they are not keyboard keys, but button presses are delivered through the keyboard. Hence, they should be included.
I do not think suppressing random keys in the driver is a good idea, because we may fill up what you currently consider as gaps, and people will be confused why certain events are not being delivered.
I just posted a patch (you are CCed) that attempts to trim too long modalias strings, please take a look and see if that solves your issue.
Thanks.
