This patch introduces concept to drop partial events in evdev handler
itself after emptying the buffer which are dropped by all evdev
clients in userspace after SYN_DROPPED occurs.
This in turn saves space of partial events in evdev handler buffer
and reduces evdev client reading requests.

if client->head happens to be 0, your index won't be what it should be :)
you need the &= here and again after the next line:

given that this condition is almost exactly the same as above, you should
share the code. you should also look into checking whether this can be moved
to __evdev_queue_syn_dropped() anyway, it seems like it can with little
effort.

The protocol itself looks correct now though.

Cheers,

I have set head to 0 after which syn_dropped is queued,
so head will be 1 always and hence it seems no need to take
care of head overflow here as min bufsize is 64.

Thank you Mr. Peter.
I have already sent the v4 which moved the code to
__evdev_queue_syn_dropped() function. Please have a look.
