[PATCH] [v9]Input: evdev: fix bug of dropping valid packet after syn_dropped event

From: Aniroop Mathur
Date: Tue Oct 04 2016 - 15:05:01 EST


If last event dropped in the old queue was EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT, then lets
generate EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT immediately after queing EV_SYN/SYN_DROPPED
so that clients would not ignore next valid full packet events.

Signed-off-by: Aniroop Mathur <a.mathur@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Difference from v8:
Added check for handling EVIOCG[type] ioctl for queue empty case
