Subject: [PATCH 17/19] HID: Only dump input if someone is listening
Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 23:42:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344807757-2217-18-git-send-email-rydberg@euromail.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344807757-2217-1-git-send-email-rydberg@euromail.se>

Going through the motions of printing the debug message information
takes a long time; using the keyboard can lead to a 160 us irqsoff
latency. This patch skips hid_dump_input() when there are no open
handles, which brings latency down to 100 us.
