[PATCH v5 0/3] Input: xen-kbdfront - allow better run-time configuration

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko]

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@epam.com>

Hi, all!

This patch series synchronizes Xen canonical protocol definitions
which allow the last two patches in the series to update Xen
kbdfront driver with a fix and v5 of the patch to allow better
run-time configuration for xen-kbdfront.

As xen-kbdfront patches rely on protocol changes from patch 1 I am
sending these all together: Boris, Juergen, if you and Dmitry do not
mind, can we have patch 1 applied through Dmitry's tree?

Thank you,
Oleksandr

Changes since v4:
- Added required changes to Xen protocols
- Added a fix for multi-touch XenStore node's locations
- No changes to "Input: xen-kbdfront - allow better run-time
  configuration"

Changes since v3:
- do not connect backend if all virtual devices are disabled (Dmitry)

Changes since v2:
- based on XenStore kbdif features to control which devices are
  exposed instead of module parameters.

[PATCH v5 1/3] xen: Sync up with the canonical protocol definitions in Xen

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko]

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@epam.com>

This is the sync up with the canonical definitions of the input,
sound and display protocols in Xen.

Changes to kbdif:
1. Add missing string constants for {feature|request}-raw-pointer
   to align with the rest of the interface file.

2. Add new XenStore feature fields, so it is possible to individually
   control set of exposed virtual devices for each guest OS:
     - set feature-disable-keyboard to 1 if no keyboard device needs
       to be created
     - set feature-disable-pointer to 1 if no pointer device needs
       to be created

3. Move multi-touch device parameters to backend nodes: these are
    described as a part of frontend's XenBus configuration nodes
    while they belong to backend's configuration. Fix this by moving
    the parameters to the proper section.

Unique-id field:
1. Add unique-id XenBus entry for virtual input and display.

2. Change type of unique-id field to string for sndif to align with
display and input protocols.

[PATCH v5 2/3] Input: xen-kbdfront - fix multi-touch XenStore node's locations

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko]

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@epam.com>

kbdif protocol describes multi-touch device parameters as a
part of frontend's XenBus configuration nodes while they
belong to backend's configuration. Fix this by reading the
parameters as defined by the protocol.

Fixes: 49aac8204da5 ("Input: xen-kbdfront - add multi-touch support")

[PATCH v5 3/3] Input: xen-kbdfront - allow better run-time configuration

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko]

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@epam.com>

It is now only possible to control if multi-touch virtual device
is created or not (via the corresponding XenStore entries),
but keyboard and pointer devices are always created.
In some cases this is not desirable. For example, if virtual
keyboard device is exposed to Android then the latter won't
automatically show on-screen keyboard as it expects that a
physical keyboard device can be used for typing.

Utilize keyboard and pointer device XenStore feature fields to
configure which virtual devices are created:
 - set "feature-disable-keyboard" to 1 if no keyboard device
   needs to be created
 - set "feature-disable-pointer" to 1 if no pointer device
   needs to be created
Keep old behavior by default.

I'm fine with this patch being added via the input tree with the other
patches. In case I should take it via the Xen tree, please send me a

Juergen,

I created an immutable branch off v4.17 with these 3 patches in case you
would want to merge them into your tree without waiting for them to
appear in mainline:

git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git ib/4.17-xen-kbdfront-runtime-config

We are in the tail end of 4.18 merge window so it should not make it in 4.18 no matter what tree the patches will go through.

Hm, but these are updates and fixes (besides the last patch which adds 
some more
functionality), so I thought this is still good to go in 4.18?
