I almost applied it, but then I started to wonder: enabling autorepeat in guest kernel means that autorepeat settings might differ between the VNC client and the guest. Maybe the better fix would be to actually assume that backend/client does not send duplicate events, but autorepeat events, and do the following in xenkbd_handle_key_event(): static void xenkbd_handle_key_event(struct xenkbd_info *info, struct xenkbd_key *key) { struct input_dev *dev; int value = key->pressed; if (test_bit(key->keycode, info->ptr->keybit)) { dev = info->ptr; } else if (test_bit(key->keycode, info->kbd->keybit)) { dev = info->kbd; /* See if the key is already pressed */ if (test_bit(key->keycode, info->kbd->key)) value = 2; /* Report autorepeat */ } else { pr_warn("unhandled keycode 0x%x\n", key->keycode); return; } input_event(dev, EV_KEY, key->keycode, value); input_sync(dev); } Thanks. > > Signed-off-by: Liang Yan <lyan@suse.com> > --- > drivers/input/misc/xen-kbdfront.c | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/input/misc/xen-kbdfront.c b/drivers/input/misc/xen-kbdfront.c > index fa130e7b734c..0dce9830e2f4 100644 > --- a/drivers/input/misc/xen-kbdfront.c > +++ b/drivers/input/misc/xen-kbdfront.c > @@ -248,6 +248,7 @@ static int xenkbd_probe(struct xenbus_device *dev, > kbd->id.product = 0xffff; > > __set_bit(EV_KEY, kbd->evbit); > + __set_bit(EV_REP, kbd->evbit); > for (i = KEY_ESC; i < KEY_UNKNOWN; i++) > __set_bit(i, kbd->keybit); > for (i = KEY_OK; i < KEY_MAX; i++) > -- > 2.14.1 > -- Dmitry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I will send new patch soon, thanks for the review.

Long pressed key could not show right in XEN vncviewer after tigervnc client changed the way how to send repeat keys, from "Down Up Down Up ..." to "Down Down ... Up". By enable EV_REP bit here, XEN keyboard device will trigger default auto repeat process from input subsystem, and make auto repeat keys work correctly.
