From ace3d8614ab0e6544f5f85921085b55b915fe9aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 15:16:14 +0200 Subject: HID: uhid: add internal message buffer When receiving messages from the HID subsystem, we need to process them and store them in an internal buffer so user-space can read() on the char device to retrieve the messages. This adds a static buffer for 32 messages to each uhid device. Each message is dynamically allocated so the uhid_device structure does not get too big. uhid_queue() adds a message to the buffer. If the buffer is full, the message is discarded. uhid_queue_event() is an helper for messages without payload. This also adds a public header: uhid.h. It contains the declarations for the user-space API. It is built around "struct uhid_event" which contains a type field which specifies the event type and each event can then add a variable-length payload. For now, there is only a dummy event but later patches will add new event types and payloads.
