From 9fb0f14e31b6101a0cc69a333b43541044f9b0a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Brown Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 23:29:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Input: evdev - indicate buffer overrun with SYN_DROPPED Add a new EV_SYN code, SYN_DROPPED, to inform the client when input events have been dropped from the evdev input buffer due to a buffer overrun. The client should use this event as a hint to reset its state or ignore all following events until the next packet begins.
