From: Elias Vanderstuyft Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:08:45 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Input: don't modify the id of ioctl-provided ff effect on upload failure X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?p=~andy%2Flinux;a=commitdiff_plain;h=fc7392aa1b20debc7f398acc39ffc817630f11e6 Input: don't modify the id of ioctl-provided ff effect on upload failure If a new (id == -1) ff effect was uploaded from userspace, ff-core.c::input_ff_upload() will have assigned a positive number to the new effect id. Currently, evdev.c::evdev_do_ioctl() will save this new id to userspace, regardless of whether the upload succeeded or not. On upload failure, this can be confusing because the dev->ff->effects[] array will not contain an element at the index of that new effect id. This patch fixes this by leaving the id unchanged after upload fails. Note: Unfortunately applications should still expect changed effect id for quite some time.
