And since I doubt Windows will add a change to limit it, well, that kind of limits our options here to either "enforce compliance and break non-compliant hardware" or "figure out a way to bend the rules". Given that BlueZ, upon expanding the maximum size, does successfully read the overly-long report map (it does use the read blob with offset message to get the last several bytes), it does work as intended if we ignore that specific rule. Though obviously that's up to the bluetooth maintainers to solve, so at this point I'm just tossing my two cents at it.

Though obviously that's up to the bluetooth maintainers to solve, so at this point I'm just tossing my two cents at it. Well we can do what Windows is doing but let's have it documented then, we could as well scalate this with Bluetooth SIG since the manufacturer seem to be intentionally creating interoperability problems with a standard service, but that would likely take a lot more time and most likely will need to be resolved by introducing a test that enforces that HoG client don't attempt to read past 512 bytes offset. Btw, if there is no limitation on how big the report map can get in HID, I'd leave it up to the kernel to figure out if that is acceptable or not, so I'd remove the 1024.

Are you still planning to update this change? Btw, how about Android, does it handle such devices?

As for Android, I have no idea. I can try pairing the trackpad with an Android device and seeing what happens, but I don't have anything with modern Android as it's not my day-to-day phone OS.

Given that BlueZ, upon expanding the maximum size, does successfully read the overly-long report map (it does use the read blob with offset message to get the last several bytes), it does work as intended if we ignore that specific rule. Though obviously that's up to the bluetooth maintainers to solve, so at this point I'm just tossing my two cents at it. > >> > >> Well we can do what Windows is doing but let's have it documented > >> then, we could as well scalate this with Bluetooth SIG since the > >> manufacturer seem to be intentionally creating interoperability > >> problems with a standard service, but that would likely take a lot > >> more time and most likely will need to be resolved by introducing a > >> test that enforces that HoG client don't attempt to read past 512 > >> bytes offset. > > Is the client the device or the computer?

As for Android, I have no idea. I can try pairing the trackpad with an Android device and seeing what happens, but I don't have anything with modern Android as it's not my day-to-day phone OS. Well iOS would do as well, what Im after is if that is in fact never enforced by other major OS, I do see there have been some tickets created about that already so Im trying to get some response, please forward this to the manufactures: https://www.bluetooth.org/errata/errata_view.cfm?errata_id=17495 In the meantime there is yet another device that appear to have similar problem: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/pull/376

I looked through the spec but didn't see those. That said, while the device may be non-compliant, the device is on the market and I doubt I could get them to update the firmware as a random third party. It works on Windows, so clearly Windows doesn't have a problem with its noncompliance. So this raises the question, how should Linux handle non-compliant hardware, especially when it could easily be made to work just by bending the rules in this one instance? I can absolutely change the commit message since it's erroneous, but the question then comes down to how should it be handled at all. > > >>>> > > >>>> While I agree this could be worked around it is probably worth > > >>>> checking with the manufacturer if it is aware of the problem because > > >>>> even if we were to allow reading past 512 bytes offset in the future > > >>>> there may be qualification tests enforcing not to do so, besides > > >>>> versions up to BlueZ 5.65 would still not work anyway so I thing > > >>>> letting the manufacturer know there is a problem with their > > >>>> implementation is actually worth a shot here. > > >>>> > > >>> Brydge replied with the standard tech support "this is only supported on Windows, so there probably won't be a firmware update" reply, despite its noncompliance. And since I doubt Windows will add a change to limit it, well, that kind of limits our options here to either "enforce compliance and break non-compliant hardware" or "figure out a way to bend the rules". Given that BlueZ, upon expanding the maximum size, does successfully read the overly-long report map (it does use the read blob with offset message to get the last several bytes), it does work as intended if we ignore that specific rule.
