Bug Description

[Impact]

 * Bogus keycode messages produced by the kernel / user annoyance
 * rfkill keyboard shortcuts not working as intended on some Dell machines

[Test Case]

 * check that there are no spurious kernel messages about unknown keys in journalctl upon RFKill key presses

 * check that RFKill key presses work correctly and kill/restore RF capabilities

[Regression Potential]

 * The change is scoped to particular SKUs and thus should only affect them
 * It is related to matching gsd support, which is in-place on xenial and up

[Solution]
Cherrypick upstream commit https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/cab01e9ecf1c69656785e64f5fc94cd4ed09e57f

[Original Bug report]

RFKill key produces these messages in kernel log:

dell_wmi: Unknown key with type 0x0010 and code 0xe008 pressed

This key code is a notification and should be added as KEY_IGNORE here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/dell-wmi.c#L263

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

According to https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/dell-wmi.c this key isn't supported by kernel.
To add support record { KE_IGNORE, 0xe008, { KEY_RFKILL } } must be added to array dell_wmi_keymap_type_0010. Right now it exists only in dell_wmi_keymap_type_0000.

Here is a piece of kern.log on mainline kernel 4.16.2:

I can observe the same issue on several Dell systems with Linux kernel v4.4. I didn't test older kernel though.

It should be handled by the kernel instead of udevd's hwdb.

Does !wlan in hwdb necessary to make the wireless hotkey to work?
Anyway this is not the correct solution, the "!" is to send a release key for buggy keyboard, but 0xe008 we see here is just a "notification" instead of a real key press.

Rfkill key produces 2 events: keyboard and one, that should be handled by dell-wmi.

Hwdb record is for keyboard event. Release emulation is required, at least for my model. Otherwise evtest shows only 1 EV_KEY event.

Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng) wrote :

There are actually two different bugs:

- Wireless hotkey doesn't work:
It's a bug in GNOME. You can try KDE and you'll see it works just fine.
So the udevd hwdb is not necessary.

- Annoying "unknown keycodes"
Both wireless hotkey and Fn/Multimedia hotkey "key codes" are for notification.
We need to add these two keys to the table.

I can observe the same behavior, wireless hotkey works under GDM but not after login.

Enough guessing. Gnome bug is a different one. And it has no connection to this bug.

In my case rfkill didn't work because keycode 88 was set to UNKNOWN by this generic dell rule: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c5896b6a8cfcfd1b94f25450a96a1411384f1108/hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb#L267

My rule https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c5896b6a8cfcfd1b94f25450a96a1411384f1108/hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb#L303-L305 was accepted and it is a correct solution, because it refines key code for exact model.

Thank you for checking that this doesn't introduce a regression on unaffected hardware.

Note that we don't currently have a verification for the actual reason this is being SRU'd, which is "rfkill keyboard shortcuts not working as intended on some Dell machines".

Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) wrote :

Either this change will make the rfkill button work (good), or not (current behaviour). Given the code paths, validating similar SKUs for non-regression is a good enough confidence level that this change doesn't regress other/unrelated machines. It's a low risk to accept this change as is, because the worst case scenario is a no-change in behaviour. The upside is that it may have fixed rfkill button.

Also if this change doesn't fix the rfkill buttons on these laptops, it would imply that later releases and upstream master are also still broken and unfixed.

I still get this error in Cosmic on a Dell M6500.

The M6500 does not have a keyboard RFKILL shortcut - in only has a physical switch. That switch correctly enables/disables WiFi.

Is this the same bug?

Note that I never use the Fn-keys, so I have no idea which key(s) it would be complaining about.
