The documentation for the .raw_event() callback says that if the driver return 1, there will be no further processing of the event, but this is not true, the actual code in hid-core.c looks like this: if (hdrv && hdrv->raw_event && hid_match_report(hid, report)) { ret = hdrv->raw_event(hid, report, data, size); if (ret < 0) goto unlock; } ret = hid_report_raw_event(hid, type, data, size, interrupt); The only return value that has any effect on the processing is a negative error. Correct this as it seems to confuse people: I found bogus code in the Razer out-of-tree driver attempting to return 1 here.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
