From d9a477f643eb3de71fbea5ae6103b800ceb8f547 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Luz Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:59:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] platform/surface: aggregator: Do not check for repeated unsequenced packets Currently, we check any received packet whether we have already seen it previously, regardless of the packet type (sequenced / unsequenced). We do this by checking the sequence number. This assumes that sequence numbers are valid for both sequenced and unsequenced packets. However, this assumption appears to be incorrect. On some devices, the sequence number field of unsequenced packets (in particular HID input events on the Surface Pro 9) is always zero. As a result, the current retransmission check kicks in and discards all but the first unsequenced packet, breaking (among other things) keyboard and touchpad input. Note that we have, so far, only seen packets being retransmitted in sequenced communication. In particular, this happens when there is an ACK timeout, causing the EC (or us) to re-send the packet waiting for an ACK. Arguably, retransmission / duplication of unsequenced packets should not be an issue as there is no logical condition (such as an ACK timeout) to determine when a packet should be sent again. Therefore, remove the retransmission check for unsequenced packets entirely to resolve the issue.
