Subject: [PATCH] Input: synaptics-rmi4 - Report slot as inactive when contact is a palm

When the firmware identifies a contact as a palm the driver sets the tool
type to MT_TOOL_PALM, but sets the slot state as active. Reporting the
palm as active results in userspace input libraries considering the palm
as a valid contact. Touchpads which previously were using hid-multitouch
are now not suppressing palms when switching to the RMI4 driver. This
change fixes palm rejection when using the RMI4 driver.

If we are relying on hardware to do palm rejection, then we should not
be reporting the rest of the events for palm either (i.e. the condition
in the if statement above should also be updated).

But I do not understand why userspace doe snot do the right thing? Yes,
the slot is active, but reported contact type is MT_TOOL_PALM, so it
knows what it deals with.

Thanks.

My intent is to notify userspace that there is a palm present. But, if
userspace does not have code which explicitly handles the MT_TOOL_PALM
type it won't be considered a finger. I think it is only recently that
drivers have started reporting MT_TOOL_PALM to userspace so I'm not sure
if libraries like libinput make use of it yet.

Starting with v4.11 some touchpads will be switching from hid-multitouch
to the RMI4 driver and reporting palms as active results in unsuppressed
palms. I want to avoid users from upgrading and experiencing a
degradation in usability. In which case I can update the if statement
and resubmit. This is basically how hid-multitouch is handling it. Maybe
in the future we can add a parameter to enable reporting palms to userspace.

oops, filed: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100243
until RMI4 we had no drivers setting that tool type and we still don't have
rull RMI4 in the released kernels, so it was a simple oversight.

mind you, that only applies for libinput, not hedging my bets on the
synaptics driver here.

Actually drivers/hid/hid-asus.c is using MT_TOOL_PALM since 4.10-rc1.

It is not going to work though. Here is input_mt_report_slot_state:

void input_mt_report_slot_state(struct input_dev *dev,
unsigned int tool_type, bool active)
{
struct input_mt *mt = dev->mt;
struct input_mt_slot *slot;
int id;

if (!mt)
return;

slot = &mt->slots[mt->slot];
slot->frame = mt->frame;

if (!active) {
input_event(dev, EV_ABS, ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID, -1);
return;
}

id = input_mt_get_value(slot, ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID);
if (id < 0 || input_mt_get_value(slot, ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE) != tool_type)
id = input_mt_new_trkid(mt);

input_event(dev, EV_ABS, ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID, id);
input_event(dev, EV_ABS, ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE, tool_type);
}

As you can see, if contact is inactive, then we do not send tool type to
the userspace, but simply say that the slot is no longer valid. So by
doing what your patch is doing you completely suppress the contact.

They either will use it, or they will treat it as a [hopefully] large
finger and [hopefully] they will have some rejection for large contacts
anyway, even if they are not classified by hardware as "palm".

Ughh, parameters are something that tends to stay disabled... Too bad
that hid-rmi4 hid this data. Is it really ugly if we simply let
userspace clients catch up to the kernel? As I mentioned in another
email, we have another driver generating MT_TOOL_PALM.

Thanks.

Can you send me an evemu record of that happening please? I need to see the
exact instance, e.g. when it's set, what's set before, etc. Ideally just
attach to bug 100243, thanks.

Andrew, what's the status of this? This looks stalled, but it is a
regression in 4.11 afaics. That's why I added this thread to the list of
regressions for Linux 4.11. I'll try to watch this thread for further

let me know in case the discussion moves to a different place (bugzilla
