New version of the sleepable bpf_timer code, without BPF changes, as they can now go through the HID tree independantly: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240315-hid-bpf-sleepable-v4-0-5658f2540564@xxxxxxxxxx/ For reference, the use cases I have in mind: --- Basically, I need to be able to defer a HID-BPF program for the following reasons (from the aforementioned patch): 1. defer an event: Sometimes we receive an out of proximity event, but the device can not be trusted enough, and we need to ensure that we won't receive another one in the following n milliseconds. So we need to wait those n milliseconds, and eventually re-inject that event in the stack. 2. inject new events in reaction to one given event: We might want to transform one given event into several. This is the case for macro keys where a single key press is supposed to send a sequence of key presses. But this could also be used to patch a faulty behavior, if a device forgets to send a release event. 3. communicate with the device in reaction to one event: We might want to communicate back to the device after a given event. For example a device might send us an event saying that it came back from sleeping state and needs to be re-initialized. Currently we can achieve that by keeping a userspace program around, raise a bpf event, and let that userspace program inject the events and commands. However, we are just keeping that program alive as a daemon for just scheduling commands. There is no logic in it, so it doesn't really justify an actual userspace wakeup. So a kernel workqueue seems simpler to handle. bpf_timers are currently running in a soft IRQ context, this patch series implements a sleppable context for them.
