ThinkPad L14 pen input causes crash #230
Comments
|
Similar (same?) issue reported at #110 (comment). I've given some advice in that issue on how to use "netconsole" to capture logs since they don't seem to get saved to disk. I'd suggest trying it out if you can. I'm currently updating the Fedora install on my tablet PC to see if I can replicate this with their 5.10.8-100 kernel (the same distro/kernel from the other issue). |

The recent commit to fix a memory leak introduced an inadvertant NULL pointer dereference. The `wacom_wac->pen_fifo` variable was never intialized, resuling in a crash whenever functions tried to use it. Since the FIFO is only used by AES pens (to buffer events from pen proximity until the hardware reports the pen serial number) this would have been easily overlooked without testing an AES device. This patch converts `wacom_wac->pen_fifo` over to a pointer (since the call to `devres_alloc` allocates memory for us) and ensures that we assign it to point to the allocated and initalized `pen_fifo` before the function returns.

I've been able to reproduce a driver crash and was indeed able to pin the cause on that particular commit. Can you please test my "fix-230" branch of input-wacom by cloning my code with the following command and then following the instructions at https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source to build / install the driver? |
|
Exerperiencing a similar (maybe the same) issue: As soon as I touch my screen with the pen, I am no longer able to use dmesg once touching the screen with a pen: Requires reboot as indicated in the dmesg. I can then use touch, pen wont work ofc. Funny thing is: The devices are still recognized and shown by all tools except in kde settings: |
|
Downgrading from |
|
On ThinkPad Yoga 370: dmesg output: Cannot reproduce after downgrading from |
|
The fix-230 branch looks like it works - I haven't tested on a later kernel yet, but on 5.9 it works. Unfortunately, when I reboot, the old driver (stock kernel version) is used until I rmmod/modprobe - I guess it's being cached in my initramfs? I might just wait until the next 5.10 release, which I assume this'll make it into if there are no problems |
@mlugg that's probably the case. The For reference, this is a list of kernel versions which are affected by this bug:

Same here with Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga 2nd Generation. |

I guess I'm experiencing the same issue on my Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1. When I use my stylus on the touch screen, there is a kernel crash and the touch screen stops working. It's however possible to just use my fingers before it crashes. |

I've confirmed the issue has been fixed in the kernel 5.10.10. Edit: This kernel was patched by Arch Linux, not the vanilla kernel. |
|
Affirmative, 5.10.10-arch1-1 works for me as well. Thanks for the quick fix. |
That is... Unpexpected. While I have sent my fix upstream, it has not yet been integrated. I would expect 5.10.10 to be just as broken as previous versions. |

This fix works with the kernel 5.10.10. Thanks! |
It was not the Linux vanilla source, but the one patched by Arch Linux. |
|
Patch has been accepted by the subsystem maintainer; now waiting on Linus and then the stable kernel trees after that. |

Hi,
A recent kernel upgrade began causing a system crash when the stylus is touched to the screen on a ThinkPad L14. I've not observed any dmesg output; in fact, I can't necessarily trace it back to input-wacom, but it seems the most likely culprit. The entire system freezes as soon as the pen is touched to the screen, and becomes completely unresponsive, requiring a hard reset. I am uncertain, but looking at when this issue arose, I believe it came from the upgrade to kernel 5.10.8. The for-5.10 branch history suggests to me that this issue may have arisen as a result of commit afa5129 - however, I don't see any way this could be the case looking at that patch.
A downgrade to kernel 5.9 resolved the issue. I've observed it on both Arch and Void Linux.
Thanks!
