So let's enable the wakeup support if the system defaults to
Suspend-to-Idle.

I have been debugging a spurious wakeup issue on an Asus T101HA,
where the system would not stay suspended when the lid was closed.

The issue turns out to be that the touchpad is generating touch
events when the lid/display gets close to the touchpad. In this case
wakeup is already enabled by default because it is an USB device.
Sounds like a mechanical/hardware issue to me.

Nope, the laptop is pretty much in new state.

Ack.


I've seen some old laptops have the same issue.
Swollen battery can push up the touchpad, makes it contact to touchscreen, and wakes up the system.

This is a 2-in-1 with a detachable keyboard, which is why the
kbd/touchpad is a USB device rather then i2c-hid. Even if the
battery were swollen this would push up the back cover of the
tablet.

What's the behavior on Windows?
I wonder if Windows has a different wakeup policy?
Like disable remote wakeup for USB touchpad and touchscreen?

I'm afraid I no longer have Windows on the device, so I cannot
test this. I guess that Windows disables the builtin touchpad and
touchscreenn when the lid is closed. That is sensible to do from
a power-management pov even when not suspending, but just closing
the lid and using an external monitor + kbd.

So I do not believe that this is a good idea, most current devices
with a HID multi-touch touchpad use i2c-hid and also use S2idle,
so this will basically enable wakeup by touchpad on almost all
current devices.
However, it's really handy to wake up the system from touchpad.

I agree this is somewhat handy, but the keyboard (space-bar) is
usually sitting right next to it. So we can live without it,
we really need to fix the spurious wakeup issue first, once
that is fixed I'm fine with enabling wakeup by touchpad.

That's true. Spacebar is a good enough alternative.


There will likely be other devices with the same issue as the T101HA,
but currently we are not seeing this issue because by default i2c-hid
devices do not have wakeup enabled. This change will thus likely cause
new spurious wakeup issues on more devices. So this seems like a
bad idea.
But only under lid is closed?

Right.

I wonder if it's okay to handle the case in s2idle_loop() or in userspace?
Lid close -> Wakeup event from touchpad -> Found the lid is closed
-> Turn off touchpad wakeup -> continue suspend.

I've discussed doing something about the spurious wakeup issue in
the kernel with the the kernel input maintainer (Dmitry) here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/964ca07a-3da5-101f-7edf-64bdeec98a4b@xxxxxxxxxx/

He was quite clear that this must be fixed in userspace. We did
come up with a plan for fixing this in userspace:

1) Have udev-rules setting using hwdb for quirks which tags
some input devices as "input-disable-wake-on-closed-lid".
A simple udev rule could tag all i2c-hid touchpads with this and
for the detachable USB keyboards with builtin touchpad some
2-in-1s have we can then use quirks in hwdb to set the tag
on those.

Maybe we can avoid using quirks in hwdb, external USB devices should have "Removable" bit set (i.e. it's external).

At the USB level there only is a somewhat reliable "removal" bit
for storage devices, defined at the storage protocol level.

For other devices there is:

cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-8/removable

This comes from the ACPI tables parsed by:
drivers/usb/core/usb-acpi.c

Which set the port's connect_type variable.

I've tested this on a bunch of 2-in-1s with detachable USB
keyboards and it is almost completely random and not at
all related to the reality (both for the kbd-dock connector
and for other USB ports) this info is so unreliable it is
pretty much useless.

And the kbd-dock is special anyways, the dock is removable,
but when docked / the 2-in-1 is in laptop mode, the touchpad
should be treated as an internal touchpad, as it will be
covered by the display when the lid is closed.

Note I'm mostly referring to 2-in-1's which turn into normal
clamshell laptops when docked into their keyboard dock,
not those with the flimsy type-covers.

Good example's of the type I mean are the Asus T100 series
and the Lenovo Miix 300 / 310 / 320.

2) Teach systemd-logind which does the suspend-on-lid on modern
GNOME3 based systems to disable wakeup on the parent of
input-devices which have this tag set before suspending.

As mentioned the kernel can then also use this to save
some power by disable scanning for fingers on suspend.

If you have time to work on these 2 items, that would be
great. Once this is in place I'm fine with the suggested
kernel change.

Ok, let me investigate a bit more.


###

Semi-off-topic:

The thread I linked to above is about adding a new inhibit
feature to the input system, which is intended to allow
telling the input system system to stop listening for
events even if userspace has the device open (or it has
in kernel listeners) once this has landed, we can use
the same udev-tag to also teach systemd-logind to inhibit
e.g. the touchpad when the lid is closed but the system is
not suspending (e.g. external monitor connected).
Combined with some extra hid-multitouch changes this will
again allow us to tell the touchpad to stop scanning
for fingers saving some power.

The inhibit feature could likewise also be enabled on
internal touchpads and keyboards when a 360 degree (yoga)
style 2-in-1 is in tablet mode to avoid accidental key-pressed /
touchpad touches.

I thought disabling keyboard/touchpad in tablet mode is done by system firmware.
Is it different now?

It is in some cases but not always.

How does the kernel know it's in tablet mode?

There are various interfaces for this. I've recently submitted
a series of patches upstream adding an input dev with SW_TABLET
functionality to most 2-in-1s:

-I've done a bunch of fixes making the intel-vbtn code export
SW_TABLET on more devices

-I've added support for the INT33D3 ACPI device to
the soc_button_array driver, this device offers direct access
to a GPIO for SW_TABLET mode (when it has a non empty resource list)

-I've added SW_TABLET support for HP devices using HP's custom WMI
method for this to the hp_wmi driver.


Note the inhibit when in tablet mode thing would require
a new: "input-inhibit-on-tablet-mode" tag. At first I
was thinking to just have an "input-device-is-internal"
tag, but that would e.g. also apply to the touchscreen,
on which we do want to disable wakeup when the lid is
closed, but not when in tablet mode.

Hmm, I guess to prepare for the inhibit stuff we should
probably call the other tag "input-inhibit-on-closed-lid"
rather then "input-disable-wake-on-closed-lid", and then
systemd-logind can defer that wit should also disable wake
(or initially only disable wake) from that. Otherwise we
get 4 possible tags and I don't see a usecase where we
want to inhibit but not also disable wakeup.

I'll focus on the clamshell case for now, I don't have 2-in-1 in hand right now.

Ok, for the clamshell case it should be easy to have a few'
simple universal (based on the bus/connection type of the touchpad)
udev rules to tag them as "input-disable-wake-on-closed-lid".

Because of the Bay/Cherry Trail hw-enablement I've been doing as
a personal side project I have quite a few 2-in-1s, so I can
build on top of that adding a hwdb template + some initial
entries for tagging the touchpads in detachable keyboards the
same way.




Also your commit message mentions touchpads, but the change
will also enable wakeup on most touchscreens out there, meaning
that just picking up a device in tablet mode and accidentally
touching the screen will wake it up.
I tried touch and i2c-hid touchscreen and it doesn't wake up the system.

I guess the :

i2c_hid_set_power(client, I2C_HID_PWR_SLEEP);

Call from i2c_hid_suspend() causes that, interesting that that
works for touchscreens but not for touchpads.

I'm pretty sure that if you comment out that line, your
patch will cause wake-ups on touchscreens too, which
IMHO means that your patch should maybe move the above
call into the else of the:

if (device_may_wakeup(&client->dev)) {

block, if we enable wakeup then it should work. This should
probably be combined with being smarter about which devices
to enable wakeup on by default...

Comment out that line doesn't make touchscreen have the ability to wake up the system.

My guess is that there's no ACPI GPIO connects to the touchscreen.

But there is, i2c-hid devices always have an interrupt line,
possibly the touchpad gets powered of on transition to D3 though.

Yes that is probably it, many touchscreens have a _PS3 method
like this:

Method (_PS3, 0, Serialized) // _PS3: Power State 3
{
If ((^^^I2C7.AVBL == One))
{
DATA = 0x1C
^^^I2C7.DL13 = BUFF /* \_SB_.PCI0.I2C6.TCS0.BUFF */
}
}

Which tells the PMIC to turn of the LDO supplying the touchscreen,
so that means no wake from suspend by the touchscreen.

I'm pretty sure you will find something similar in the ACPI
node describing the touchscreen on the device you are testing
with.

If the ACPI tables do not explicitly turn off the device on D3,
then it would be good to disable wake, and it cannot hurt on
devices which do completely power down the touchscreen. So
extending the "input-disable-wake-on-closed-lid" stuff to the
touchscreen is probably a good idea. But for starters lets just
focus on touchpads.

However we should still handle the two different cases, probably differentiate touchpad and touchscreen in hid-multitouch.

Ack, see above.

Also hid multi-touch devices have 3 modes, see the diagrams
in Microsoft hw design guides for win8/10 touch devices:
1. Reporting events with low latency (high power mode)
2. Reporting events with high latency (lower power mode)
3. Not reporting events (lowest power mode)

I actually still need to write some patches for hid-multitouch.c
to set the mode to 2 or 3 on suspend depending on the device_may_wakeup
setting of the parent. Once that patch is written, it should
put most i2c-hid mt devices in mode 3, hopefully also helping
with Linux' relative high power consumption when a device is
suspended. With your change instead my to-be-written patch
would put the device in mode 2, which would still be an
improvement but less so.
IIRC, touchpad and touchscreen connect to different parents on all laptops I worked on.
So I think it's possible to enable mode 2 for touchpad, and mode 3 for touchscreen.

Ack.

Touchpad wake is really handy, let's figure out how to enable it while covering all potential regression risks.

See above I believe we should first get the userspace bits to disable it
when the lid is closed in place. And even then we may need to have
a Kconfig option to disable it for people running an older userspace,
but I guess once the userspace bits are there, we can proceed without
the Kconfig option and then add that later if necessary (if people are
seeing regressions).

For now, as a comprise, can we still enable the wake up capability but disable it by default?
i.e. "device_init_wakeup(dev, false)" so user can still choose to enable touchpad wakeup at their own discretion.

Yes that sounds reasonable.
