Description Guanghua Tan 2015-10-30 12:43:17 UTC
We met an issue when upgrading weston from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0

Some touchsreen will generate coordinate out of screen.

For example, touch screen regist max_axis_x is N, but sometime it raise a axis_x value bigger than N for some caculation issues. this event will cause weston crash.

Limit the input_event inside touchscreen driver will avoid this issue. But on my opinion, fault tolerant is needed inside weston.

Review the change history of weston 1.9.0,maybe this issue is cause by following commit:

Fix grap_touch_down

check touch->focus before call "weston_view_from_global_fixed"
Comment 2 Guanghua Tan 2015-11-02 04:21:54 UTC
After debug into weston codes, I find this crash issue is really caused by following commit:

   input: pass the global touch coordinates to the touch grab

in this commit, a call to "weston_view_from_global_fixed" is added but no check to touch->focus.

weston will crash when touch->focus is null.

It do have the null check on touch->focus before call to "wl_touch_send_down".

this crash only happens in "default_grab_touch_down()".

so i solved it as attached patch file shows.

Thanks Guanghua, good find.  Looks like we were checking the pointer in the function, but only after it was used.

I've pushed a slightly modified version of your patch to trunk.  Thanks again!

    input: Fix crash when touchscreen generates out of screen coordinate
    
    With change 61ed7b6b, global touch coordinates are being passed to the
    touch grab.  However, touch->grab is undefined in certain circumstances
    such as when the touch screen raises an axis X value larger than the
    maximum expected.  Move the check for this condition earlier, before our
    first use of the pointer.
