Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Support inhibiting input devices
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 18:16:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200430161641.24503-1-andrzej.p@collabora.com> (raw)
Userspace might want to implement a policy to temporarily disregard input
from certain devices, including not treating them as wakeup sources.
An example use case is a laptop, whose keyboard can be folded under the
screen to create tablet-like experience. The user then must hold the laptop
in such a way that it is difficult to avoid pressing the keyboard keys. It
is therefore desirable to temporarily disregard input from the keyboard,
until it is folded back. This obviously is a policy which should be kept
out of the kernel, but the kernel must provide suitable means to implement
such a policy.
PATCH 1/2 adds support for inhibiting input devices, while PATCH 2/2
provides an example how to convert a driver to take advantage of this
new feature.
There are
$ git grep "input_allocate_device(" | grep -v ^Documentation | cut -f1 -d: \
| sort | uniq | wc
388 388 13425
many input device drivers, so it is impossible to convert all of them
in one go.
This work is inspired by:
