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.
This patch adds a sysfs interface for exactly this purpose.
To implement the said interface it adds an "inhibited" property to struct
input_dev, and effectively creates four states a device can be in: closed
uninhibited, closed inhibited, open uninhibited, open inhibited. It also
defers calling driver's ->open() and ->close() to until they are actually
needed, e.g. it makes no sense to prepare the underlying device for
generating events (->open()) if the device is inhibited.
uninhibit
closed <------------ closed
uninhibited ------------> inhibited
| ^ inhibit | ^
1st | | 1st | |
open | | open | |
| | | |
| | last | | last
| | close | | close
v | uninhibit v |
open <------------ open
uninhibited ------------> inhibited
The top inhibit/uninhibit transition happens when users == 0.
The bottom inhibit/uninhibit transition happens when users > 0.
The left open/close transition happens when !inhibited.
The right open/close transition happens when inhibited.
Due to all transitions being serialized with dev->mutex, it is impossible
to have "diagonal" transitions between closed uninhibited and open
inhibited or between open uninhibited and closed inhibited.
No new callbacks are added to drivers, because their open() and close()
serve exactly the purpose to tell the driver to start/stop providing
events to the input core. Consequently, open() and close() - if provided
- are called in both inhibit and uninhibit paths.

It seems the comment which is part of the context here may need some
updating because of the inhibit changes ?
Otherwise this patch and the rest of the series looks good to me
now. Thank you very much for your work on this.
