Subject: [PATCH 2/2] platform/x86: asus-wmi: unify WMI and HID keyboard brightness stepping
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 21:29:37 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261025-b4-asus-kbd-fixes-v1-2-fa4dcf7d2a69@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261025-b4-asus-kbd-fixes-v1-0-fa4dcf7d2a69@gmail.com>
WMI notifications and USB HID event passes calculate brightness steps in
two separate functions: asus_wmi_handle_event_code() and asus_hid_event().
The WMI path reads asus->kbd_led_wk under asus_ref.lock in
asus_wmi_handle_event_code(), drops the lock, and then calls
kbd_led_set_by_kbd(), which re-acquires asus_ref.lock. A concurrent event
arriving between the two critical sections can overwrite the newer state.
Consolidate the step arithmetic into a helper, asus_kbd_led_calc_next(),
and add asus_kbd_led_step() to calculate and store the new brightness
level in a single asus_ref.lock critical section. Route the WMI notify
handlers through this helper and remove kbd_led_set_by_kbd(). In
asus_hid_event(), reuse asus_kbd_led_calc_next() under the existing
critical section to keep stepping logic identical across endpoints.
The step logic remains unchanged; locking is consolidated into a single
critical section.
