We already explained to you that the events do not matter, only the state is. If user space has an issue with a state not being in sync, it's a user space bug and it has to be fixed in user space. This patch could be useful if the purpose was to monitor the changes while the state is unreliable (in case 4): - if _LID returns a different value than right after suspend, it is expected to be something reliable, and so we could then re-create the input node and present it to user space - if _LID still returns the same value after a somewhat long delay (10-20 seconds), then we can consider the value to be correct and re-create the input node. Polling for polling and hoping user space will have more chances of seeing an event for an EV_SW is moot.

There are platform variations implementing ACPI lid device in different ways: 1. Some platforms send "open" events to OS and the events arrive before button driver is resumed; 2. Some platforms send "open" events to OS, but the events arrive after button driver is resumed, ex., Samsung N210+; 3. Some platforms never send "open" events to OS, but send "open" events to update the cached _LID return value, and the update events arrive before button driver is resumed; 4. Some platforms never send "open" events to OS, but send "open" events to update the cached _LID return value, but the update events arrive after button driver is resumed, ex., Surface Pro 3; 5. Some platforms never send "open" events, _LID returns value sticks to "close", ex., Surface Pro 1. Currently, all cases work fine with systemd 233, but only case 1,2 work fine with systemd 229. Case 3,4 can be treated as an event missing issue: After seeing a LID "close" event, systemd 229 will wait several seconds (HoldoffTimeoutSec) before suspending the platform. Thus on case 4 platforms, if users close lid, and re-open it during the HoldoffTimeoutSec period, there is still no "open" events seen by the userspace. Thus systemd still considers the last state as "close" and suspends the platform after the HoldoffTimeoutSec times out. Note that not only systemd 229, desktop managers (ex., gnome-settings-daemon) also suffer from this issue. This patch tries to fix this issue by periodically sending _LID return value to userspace, which ensures to trigger a SW_LID event when the underlying hardware state has changed. As adding a periodic timer is not a power friendly way, this patch prepares an option for users to enable on failure platforms for old userspace programs. Users can configure update interval via button.lid_update_interval. This should be configured to a smaller value than HoldoffTimeoutSec in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.
