If the handler that injected an event is the same,
just skip the filter, but allow the handler->event()

be used to loopback events.
Why is it needed? Could you please give some examples?

Thanks.

We have a customer who has a touchscreen device which sends
a bitmap into a gesture engine, which then interprets that
result and feeds it back into the kernel through a virtual
input driver that X is listening to.
That really should be done though uinput.

quite possible.

but the application already exists, and works just fine in 2.6.35... causing this to be classified as a kernel ABI regression ;-(
