Add a linked list of keyboard handlers.  Added handlers will go
to the head of the list.  Removed handlers will be zapped from
the list.  The head of the list will be used for events.

This fixes the keyboard-dead-after-usb-kbd-unplug issue, key events
will be re-routed to the ps/2 kbd instead of being discarded.

How do I get it there?

You can just stick a '---' prior to the history in the git commit.
git-format-patch and git-am will then do the right thing.

Just make sure you don't push those commits.  Process them via git-am
like you would a patch from someone else.

Ah, multiple keyboard handlers. I've actually been carrying
something similar in the qemu-linaro tree for ages, inherited
from Nokia for n900 support:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=qemu/qemu-linaro.git;a=commitdiff;h=6be1ca3d2b79118fce871aa8454336502b3a5ca4

The major difference is that where this code sends key events
to the first handler only, the Nokia patch sends events to
all keys, because the use case it's trying to deal with is
"some keys should go to one device and some to another"
(for example, most keys go to a usb keyboard but F-keys
are treated as being like some of the hardware buttons on
the phone, and they go to a different device in the model).

Maybe we could deal with this by having kbd_put_keycode()
send the event to every register keyboard until one of
them says it has handled it [ie have the put_kbd callback
return a handled/not-handled return]. That would still
leave the issue that you need to make sure that keyboard
handlers get called in the right order (perhaps a priority
thing on registering?)

Anyway, no objection to this patch (and I'm certainly not
trying to say you should fix my problems in this patch),
I just thought I'd mention this other usecase for multiple
keyboards while it was in my head.

thanks

Another convenient place is the cover letter.

Yea, sending to all doesn't fly in general as guests
with ps/2 + usb kbd would see all keys twice then ...

Having a "handled" return code makes sense to me.  IIRC glib has
something simliar (return true == handled, return false == call next
handler please).

A priority field is more robust I think.

Should be easy to add support for this on top of this series.

cheers,

I don't really have an issue with this series.  It's a reasonable
incremental step.  But I wrote an ps2 qtest recently and had some
thoughts about how we handle input and how we could do it in a better
fashion.

We don't really have the notion of an input device backend/frontend.
There's no great way for a user to see what input devices there are or
participate in which ones should have input.  QOM can fill this void.

We could make a QOM interface, InputInterface, loosely modelled
after the Linux input layer.

The interface would have methods like:

struct InputInterface {
    uint32_t (*get_capabilities)(InputInterface *iface);
    const char *(get_description)(InputInterface *iface);

    void (*begin_batch)(InputInterface *iface);
    void (*event)(InputInterface *iface, uint16_t type,
                  uint16_t code, int32_t value);
    void (*end_batch)(InputInterface *iface);
};

Then any device capable of acting as an input device would implement
this interface.  qom-list can then be used to enumerate any Input
devices.  The VNC server (or GTK UI) could also be modelled as an object
and you could select which input device received keyboard input by
hooking up the properties.

It also makes the devices easier to unit test because you can call the
interface methods directly.

An interface like this would also work for richer input mechanisms like
touchscreens.

Anthony Liguori
