Input: i8042 - break load dependency between atkbd/psmouse and i8042
As explained in 1407814240-4275-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com we have a hard load dependency between i8042 and atkbd which prevents keyboard from working on Gen2 Hyper-V VMs. > hyperv_keyboard invokes serio_interrupt(), which needs a valid serio > driver like atkbd.c. atkbd.c depends on libps2.c because it invokes > ps2_command(). libps2.c depends on i8042.c because it invokes > i8042_check_port_owner(). As a result, hyperv_keyboard actually > depends on i8042.c. > > For a Generation 2 Hyper-V VM (meaning no i8042 device emulated), if a > Linux VM (like Arch Linux) happens to configure CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=m > rather than =y, atkbd.ko can't load because i8042.ko can't load(due to > no i8042 device emulated) and finally hyperv_keyboard can't work and > the user can't input: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39820 > (Ubuntu/RHEL/SUSE aren't affected since they use CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y) To break the dependency we move away from using i8042_check_port_owner() and instead allow serio port owner specify a mutex that clients should use to serialize PS/2 command stream.
