I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, it is called:
+static inline void input_stop(struct input_dev *dev)
+{
+ if (dev->poller)
+ input_dev_poller_stop(dev->poller);
+ if (dev->close)
+ dev->close(dev);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+static int input_inhibit(struct input_dev *dev)
+{
+ int ret = 0;
+
+ mutex_lock(&dev->mutex);
+
+ if (dev->inhibited)
+ goto out;
+
+ if (dev->users) {
+ if (dev->inhibit) {
+ ret = dev->inhibit(dev);
+ if (ret)
+ goto out;
+ }
+ input_stop(dev);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It will not be called when dev->users is zero, but if it is zero,
then nobody has opened the device yet so there is nothing to close.
