From b31c9d9dc343146b9f4ce67b4eee748c49296e99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hutterer Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2024 17:19:29 +0900 Subject: HID: hidraw: add HIDIOCREVOKE ioctl There is a need for userspace applications to open HID devices directly. Use-cases include configuration of gaming mice or direct access to joystick devices. The latter is currently handled by the uaccess tag in systemd, other devices include more custom/local configurations or just sudo. A better approach is what we already have for evdev devices: give the application a file descriptor and revoke it when it may no longer access that device. This patch is the hidraw equivalent to the EVIOCREVOKE ioctl, see commit c7dc65737c9a ("Input: evdev - add EVIOCREVOKE ioctl") for full details.
