[PATCH v9] tty: Fix the keyboard led light display problem

From: lianzhi chang
Date: Wed Oct 27 2021 - 01:37:29 EST


Switching from the desktop environment to the tty environment,
the state of the keyboard led lights and the state of the keyboard
lock are inconsistent. This is because the attribute kb->kbdmode
of the tty bound in the desktop environment (Xorg) is set to
VC_OFF, which causes the ledstate and kb->ledflagstate
values of the bound tty to always be 0, which causes the switch
from the desktop When to the tty environment, the LED light
status is inconsistent with the keyboard lock status.

v7-->v8:
Optimize the implementation of kbd_update_ledstate function

Why not adopt the opinions of Greg KH and Andy Shevchenko:
(1) In the structure struct input_dev, the definition of led is
like this: unsigned long led[BITS_TO_LONGS(LED_CNT)]; If you
define it like this: unsigned long newstate = *dev->led; I
always feel that there is still big end and Little endian problem.
(2) The test_bit function is used to avoid the problem of large
and small ends, and the current algorithm (v8) also exists
elsewhere in the kernel: the atkbd_set_leds function (drivers/
input/keyboard/atkbd.c).
(3) In the current keyboard.c code, the code is already very good,
and it is already relatively independent. If you modify the type
of ledstate to u64 or modify the macro definitions such as
VC_NUMLOCK, it feels that it is not very meaningful, and this It
will also cause other related modifications. Of course, this is
only my current opinion. If everyone still feels that it is
necessary to modify, I will do it this way. Of course, this
process may be a bit longer, and I think it is necessary to
conduct more tests.

v9: Change description information: xorg-->Xorg
