Subject: xf86: fix flush input to work with Linux evdev devices.
|
|
|
|
So when we VT switch back and attempt to flush the input devices,
|
|
we don't succeed because evdev won't return part of an event,
|
|
since we were only asking for 4 bytes, we'd only get -EINVAL back.
|
|
|
|
This could later cause events to be flushed that we shouldn't have
|
|
gotten.
|
|
|
|
This is a fix for CVE-2013-1940.
