Hi Dana,

Thank you for the patch.

Like the comment in my previous patch I think this is understandable
for someone that has some context, but I am not sure it is understood
for people that don't have such context. So I'd try to rephrase and
explain in a more plain way. I.e.

selftests/input: introduce a test for the EVIOCGKEY ioctl

This patch introduces a specific test case for the EVIOCGKEY ioctl.
The test covers the case where len > maxlen in the
EVIOCGKEY(sizeof(keystate)), keystate) ioctl.

Also, usually is not a good idea to add links in commit messages
reference to links that can easily end as dead links.

nit: rep_values sounds like repeat values, I'd use a variable name
more similar to what we really need to pass to the ioctl, like
keystate. Also I think this can be simply

int keystate;

and then, this memset is not really needed.

> +       rc = selftest_uinput_create_device(&uidev);

This one without extra arguments need to be:

        rc = selftest_uinput_create_device(&uidev, -1);

otherwise the vararg loop is going to keep the room warm for no reason.

while we are here, and as it should be easy, maybe we can also extend
this to cover the normal workflow to get the global key status?
