Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Sync LED core state on level writes
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 01:48:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114174814.62153-4-kmatzkaczor244@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114174814.62153-1-kmatzkaczor244@gmail.com>
kbdlight_set_level_and_update() pokes the led_classdev brightness cache
directly after writing the new EC level, without notifying userspace and
without any locking. Commit 06da5325d02e ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi:
Stop setting led_classdev brightness directly") already removed this
pattern from the sysfs path but had to keep it for the proc interface,
which has no LED core path of its own.
Move the LED core state update into kbdlight_notify_level(): stop
updating the cached level in kbdlight_set_level() and have both the
sysfs and the proc write paths go through kbdlight_set_level_and_update(),
which writes the EC level and updates the cache under kbdlight_mutex,
and reports the new level through the LED core, like commit
07f48f668fac ("platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: add FnLock LED class
device") did for the ideapad FnLock LED.
As a result, writing a level through either interface now emits a
brightness_hw_changed notification, so userspace listeners see level
changes from both of them.
