 22:39 < jannau> `dtc -I fs -O dts -o - /proc/device-tree` will output the device-tree as seen by linux

+19:11 < Glanzmann> axboe: Could you explain how to mark a device as write-through? Does that mean if I issue a sync in Linux that no flush will happen. Because this would be helpful for the m1 notebook owners to improve performance.
+19:11 < axboe> I just do: `echo "write through" > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/write_cache"` for now...
+19:11 < axboe> Glanzmann: ^^
+19:12 < axboe> Glanzmann: and yes, that's what it means
+19:12 < Glanzmann> axboe: Thanks.
+19:12 < axboe> Glanzmann: it'll bump your test case from 56 iops to 14k or something like that :)
+19:12 < axboe> alternatively, some sort of time based hack might make sense
+19:13 < axboe> "only issue flush if X seconds has passed since last issue"
+19:13 < axboe> kinda nasty, but safer
+
+15:50 < mps> axboe: Glanzmann: `libinput Disable While Typing Enabled (268):    1` is set in my case and it works fine
+15:51 < mps> though I built latest beta of libinput and rebuilt xf86-input-libinput with it
+15:52 < mps> i.e. libinput-1.19.901
+15:52 < axboe> mps: promising
+15:53 < mps> but still didn't got it to detect thumb
+16:07 < mps> Glanzmann: `libinput quirks list /dev/input/event1` will show you features of input device
+16:09 < mps> and `libinput quirks list /dev/input/event1` will show quirks from libinput database
+
+From mps:
+#!/bin/sh
+echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
+echo 1 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_fn_leftctrl
+echo 1 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_opt_cmd

+19:19 < Glanzmann> sven: Do you know why axboe set the admin queue to 2 instead of 8?
+19:19 < sven> yes
+19:19 < sven> almost all commands go through the io queue, no need to waste that space for the admin queue

+# j`ey on deleting efi and Linux partitions from the gui in macos
+20:46 < j`ey> Glanzmann: I didnt figure it out at the diskutil cli, but I managed to do it from the GUI, I think you have to erase/reformat as APFS before you can delete the volumes
+
+08:54 < mixi> Glanzmann: the command you're looking for should be "dtc -I dtb -O dts /sys/firmware/fdt"
+08:57 < jannau> Glanzmann: dtc -I fs -O dts -o - /proc/devicetree
