Subject: Two questions regarding evdev
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:53:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100324205332.GA7303@hardeman.nu> (raw)
I've been going over the evdev (drivers/input/evdev.c) code since I'm
using it as inspiration for a small project I'm hacking on. So far I
have two questions with regard to the code:
First, evdev_event passes a new event to all connected clients (writing
it to each client's event fifo) and then calls wake_up_interruptible.
However, given that all clients will have at least one new event to read
after evdev_event is done, shouldn't wake_up_interruptible_all be called
instead?
Second, evdev_poll never sets the POLLOUT flag, but evdev can accept
writes (which will be passed to input_inject_event), so shouldn't the
POLLOUT flag always be set?
Regards,
David
