Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] leds: trigger: input-events: Restore previous brightness on input
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 21:51:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030-leds-input-events-brightness-v4-2-5ea0ead7480c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030-leds-input-events-brightness-v4-0-5ea0ead7480c@gmail.com>
From: Nikolay Plastinin <plaztininikolai@gmail.com>
The trigger turns the LEDs back on with LED_FULL, which the LED core
clamps to max_brightness. For keyboard backlights with several levels,
such as asus::kbd_backlight, this means the backlight always comes back
at maximum after being idle instead of at the level the user picked.
Remember the brightness per LED before turning it off and restore it on
the next input event. Keep the level in a per-LED state struct allocated
in activate() and freed in deactivate(), converting the simple trigger
to a regular trigger. Pick up brightness changes made while the LED is
on before saving the level again.
Use led_trigger_for_each_led() under guard(rcu)() for both the on and
off paths. Skip LEDs whose activate() callback has not set up their
state yet.
Clear trigger_data under the same lock used by the LED walker before
freeing the per-LED state. Although normal trigger removal waits for an
RCU grace period, the device_add_groups() error path calls deactivate()
while the LED is still linked, so a walker must see NULL after teardown.
The previous revision was tested on an ASUS ROG Flow X13 GV302XV:
keyboard backlight levels 1 and 2 were restored after idle timeout and
keyboard input, and 20 trigger activate/deactivate cycles completed
successfully.
