I want to note this driver works quite differently than how ACPI power button does. You can see in acpi_button_notify() that the "keypress" is only forwarded when not suspended [1]. Otherwise it's just wakeup event (which is what my patch was modeling). https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.16-rc3/drivers/acpi/button.c#L461 [1]If you check acpi_button_resume() you will see that the events are sent from there. Except that for some reason they chose to use KEY_WAKEUP and not KEY_POWER, oh well. Unlike acpi button driver gpio_keys is used on multiple other platforms.Interesting, but the ACPI button code presumably only does this on resume for a normal press while the system is awake it does use KEY_POWER, right ?Yes. It is unclear to me why they chose to mangle the event on wakeup, it does not seem to be captured in the email discussions or in the patch description.I assume they did this to avoid the immediate re-suspend on wakeup by power-button issue. GNOME has a workaround for this, but I assume that some userspace desktop environments are still going to have a problem with this.It was done for this reason IIRC, but it should have been documented more thoroughly.I assert that it should not have been done and instead dealt with in userspace. There are numerous drivers in the kernel emitting KEY_POWER. Let userspace decide how to handle this, what keys to ignore, what keys to process and when.Please see my last message in this thread (just sent) and see the changelog of commit 16f70feaabe9 ("ACPI: button: trigger wakeup key events"). This appears to be about cases when no event would be signaled to user space at all (power button wakeup from ACPI S3).Ahh, in S3 we do not know if we've been woken up with Sleep or Power button, right? So we can not send the "right" event code and use "neutral" KEY_WAKEUP for both. Is this right? Thanks.I did some more experiments with this affected system that started this thread (which uses s2idle). I only applied patch 3 in this series to help the debounce behavior and figure out impacts from patch 4 with existing Linux userspace. If suspended using systemd in GNOME (click the GUI button) on Ubuntu 24.04 the GNOME workaround mitigates this problem and no visible impact. If I suspend by hand using the kernel interface and then press power button to wake: # echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state: * When GNOME is running: I get the shutdown popup and it eventually shuts down. * When GNOME isn't running (just on a VT): System shuts down.For the latter you may want to raise an issue with systemd, and for the former I guess it is being too clever and does not activate the workaround if suspend was not initiated by it? I think Gnome is being too careful. Thanks.Sure I could file bugs with both the projects. But before I do if all userspace needs to account for this with a series of workarounds at resume time, you still think that is that really the best way forward? Hans, you have a lot of experience in the GNOME community. Your thoughts?
I guess it would be good to fix this in the kernel, sending KEY_WAKEUP from gpio_key when the event is KEY_POWER and we are going through the special wakeup path in gpio_keys. When this was discussed quite a while ago the ACPI button driver simply did not send any event at all on wkaeup by ACPI power-button. Know that it does send an event it would be good to mimic this, at least when the gpio_key devices where instantiated by soc_button_array. So maybe add a new field to struct gpio_keys_button called wakeup_code and when that is not 0 use that instead of the plain "code" member on wakeups ? That would keep the gpio_keys code generic while allowing to mimic the ACPI button behavior. And then set wakeup_code to KEY_WAKEUP for the power-button in soc_button_array. To me this sounds better then trying to fix all userspace code which does something on KEY_POWER of which there is quite a lot. The special GNOME power-button handling was always a workaround because last time a kernel fix was nacked. But now with the KEY_WAKEUP done by the ACPI button code it looks like we do have a good way to fix this in the kernel, so that would be better IMHO. Dmitry, what do you think of adding a wakeup_code field to struct gpio_keys_button and let the code creating the gpio_keys_button decide if a different code should be used on wakeup or not ?
