(first_valuator + num_valuators) must never be larger than the number of axes,
otherwise DIX freaks out. And from looking at libXI, anything larger than 6 is
wrong too.
If we have one global filter, one pointer may change the filter value and
affect another pointer.
Reproduceable effect:
blackbox and xterm, start dragging xterm then click anywhere with the other
pointer (attached to different masterd device!). The button release resets
the filter[Motion_Filter(button)] value, thus stopping dragging and no event
is sent to the client anymore.
Having the filters set per device gets around this.
In some cases (e.g. using x2x) the previous model broke, with a window ending
not counting down to 0 anymore. Special treatment for NotifyUngrab seems to
help here.
Current solution: If a NotifyGrab is to be sent ignore it. If a NotifyUngrab
enter is sent, only adjust the semaphore if it is on 0. Likewise, do the same
for a NotifyUngrab leave if the semaphore is on 1. This seems to work alright
so far.
We free the ValuatorClassRec quite regularly. If a SIGIO is handled while
we're swapping device classes, we can bring the server down when we try to
access lastx/lasty of the master device.
XkbInitKeyboardDefviceStruct may call FatalError if it fails. FatalError then
cleans up all the devices, resulting in a segfault if the pointer is
uninitialised.
Old code was fundamentally broken, fixes now are:
- free the MDs current device classes
- copy the device classes instead of flipping the pointers
- check for the old MD, not the new one.
Anything in dev->key, dev->valuator etc. of a MD must always be a copy of the
original class. The intial classes of an MD (the ones set up before an SD is
attached) as well, as we may have to restore them if no SD is attached
anymore.
Turns out it's really really hard synchronising device state across multiple
duplicated events if they all share the same struct. So instead of doing so,
when the SD changes deep-copy all it's classes into the MD. The MD then has
the same capabilities, but the state can be set separately. This should fix
xkb, key state, repeat etc. problems.
Updating the device state allows us to remove the SwitchCoreKeyboard from the
event gathering, it's all done during event processing now.
If a slave device is attached to a master device, then we need to send a
mapping notify to the client.
Mapping notify needs to be sent if
- different slave device but on same master
- different master
This gives you funny behaviour with the ClientPointer. When a
MappingNotify is sent to the client, the client usually responds with a
GetKeyboardMapping. This will retrieve the ClientPointer's keyboard mapping,
regardless of which keyboard sent the last mapping notify request. So
depending on the CP setting, your keyboard may change layout in each app...
This can happen if we check for a passive core grab and our device is a
floating slave device. Doesn't really change anything as SDs can't send core
events but it stops the server from segfaulting.
Each time a different slave device sends through a master, an
DeviceClassesChangedEvent is enqueued. When this event is processed, all
classes of the matching master device are changed, and the event is sent to
the clients.
Next time the master is queried, it thus shows the evclasses of the last slave
device. The original classes are stored in the devPrivates.
TODO: if all slave devices are removed, the master's original classes need to
be restored.
For pointers: don't try to set master->valuator fields if there is no master.
For keyboards: check if device is valid before trying to access the fields in
miPointerGetScreen (btw. this disables DGA events for floating keyboards).
Also stop the hideous number of ErrorFs if we request the paired device for a
floating dev.
Subject: [PATCH] fix some performance gaps in Xace
The XaceHook function is used in several hotpaths.
The problem with it (performance wise) is twofold:
* The XaceHook function has a big switch() statement for the hook number in it
* The XaceHook function uses varargs to reassemble the final dispatch arguments again
Both are expensive operations... for something that is known at compile time
This patch turns the hotpath XaceHook call into a direct call to avoid
the switch and varargs; this gives me over 10% performance gain
on the x11perf benchmark.
These hints allow an acceleration architecture to optimize allocation of certain
types of pixmaps, such as pixmaps that will serve as backing pixmaps for
redirected windows.
If we inherited a signal mask from the parent process that ignores SIGUSR1,
then we will send SIGUSR1 to the parent to indicate when we're ready to
accept connections. Unfortunately, we send this notification way too
early, right after creating the sockets rather than just before entering
the main loop.
Move it to just before Dispatch() so we're not lying quite so much.
FixKeyState needs to be able to handle XI events, otherwise we get "impossible
keyboard events" on server zaps and other special key combos.
(cherry picked from commit 5ee409794e)
Floating devices get sprites, but still aren't spriteOwners. This prevents
them from getting rendered, and also stops segfaulting.
(not really solving the problems with keyboards though)
