Why do you need separate module parameters for multi-touch device?

Why is this unlikely? Does contact ID changes once in 1000

even less?
Mu assumption was that regardless of the fact that we are multi-touch
device still single touches will come in more frequently
But I can remove *unlikely* if my assumption is not correct
I think the normal expectation is that "unlikely" is supposed for
something that happens once in a blue moon, so I'd rather remove it.
agree, removed "unlikely"

Should we establish tool event? We have MT_TOOL_PEN, etc.
I think that for multi-touch MT_TOOL_FINGER is enough
any reason we would also want MT_TOOL_PEN here?
Why would not you? Let's say you have a drawing application running in
guest that can make use of tool types. Why would not you want to tell it
that the tool user is currently using is in fact a pen and not finger?
But it is a finger :) we are multi-touch, not multi pen
Besides, that, if I am about to implement pen support
(which I still not convinced we really need), how will I
do that?
My understanding is that I need 2 different slots to report
the same coordinates for finger and pen. This is because
input_mt_report_slot_state has a check that if tool has
changed for the current slot then a new tracking ID is set.
Do I also need to allocate twice more slots, so I can
report 2 * num_contacts events simultaneously (one for finger
and another for pen)?
That said, I believe we can start with multi-touch support
and if need be then add pen support as a separate change,
does that make sense for you?
(I guess MT_TOOL_PALM is not appropriate anyways)
Depends on if you do straight pass-through from the host side or not. If
you stack does palm rejection before passing the data through then you
would not see MT_TOOL_PALM in guest.
the protocol used between guest and host is a generic one,
not using Linux types/constants/events.
So, no PALM/TOOL support is in place

Should we refuse MT devices with number of contacts less than 2?
we can, but I see no harm in 1. what is more, this may
allow guests to emulate more pointing devices
but, if you insist, then I will add appropriate code to
reject if number of contacts is less then 2

Curious why you need separate parameters here too...
This is because mt parameters are different from ptr
in a way that they are configurable per front driver's
instance rather than per backend, e.g. in XenStore:
/local/domain/0/backend/vkbd/1/0/width = "1920"
/local/domain/0/backend/vkbd/1/0/height = "1080"
/local/domain/1/device/vkbd/0/multi-touch-width = "1920"
/local/domain/1/device/vkbd/0/multi-touch-height = "1080"
/local/domain/1/device/vkbd/0/multi-touch-num-contacts = "10"
/local/domain/1/device/vkbd/1/multi-touch-width = "800"
/local/domain/1/device/vkbd/1/multi-touch-height = "600"
/local/domain/1/device/vkbd/1/multi-touch-num-contacts = "3"
The main reason for such configuration is that you can
configure multiple mt input devices even for the same guest
with different resolutions which may not match those
configured for ptr.
(In my use-case I use new displif protocol [1] in conjunction
with mt input devices and the corresponding backend is not
QEMU's xenfb)
I see.
As to module parameters, I added those to be consistent with
ptr device. Do you think we can live without them and
do you want me to remove them?
Yes, I think we better. I am also confused by the way you are handling
the module parameters. It looks to me you update them with data passed
>from the backend, but never use the data...
I have removed module parameters (the only use of those
was to be able to see configured width and height on
guest side, but this is minor)
evtest would show it to you. Or you can query input device yourself
(EVIOCGABS iotcl).
yes, if embedded system (which is my target) has evtest
but it definitely does have ioctl though

We need error handling here.
done
Also, it would be nice if we set INPUT_MT_*
flags here, so that userspace had better chance of figuring how to
handle the device.
done, I will use INPUT_MT_DIRECT | INPUT_MT_DROP_UNUSED
Does that mean that your backend does not reliably report release of
contacts?
there is a ring buffer between host and guest,
so there is always a possibility (rather small I believe)
that the buffer overruns. Do you think I need INPUT_MT_DROP_UNUSED or
we can live without it?
Thanks.

Thanks.
For your convenience I am attaching the changes I am about
to put into v1 of the series:
- remove unlikely
- remove module parameters
- error handling for input_mt_init_slots
- let userspace better chance of figuring how to handle the device
Thank you,
Oleksandr
