所以最后会调用，evdev的 connect 函数
drivers/input/evdev.c
/*
* Create new evdev device. Note that input core serializes calls
* to connect and disconnect so we don't need to lock evdev_table here.
*/
static int evdev_connect(struct input_handler *handler, struct input_dev *dev,
const struct input_device_id *id)
{
struct evdev *evdev;
int minor;
int error;
for (minor = 0; minor < EVDEV_MINORS; minor++)
if (!evdev_table[minor])
break;
evdev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct evdev), GFP_KERNEL);
...
dev_set_name(&evdev->dev, "event%d", minor);
evdev->exist = true;
evdev->minor = minor;
evdev->handle.dev = input_get_device(dev);
evdev->handle.name = dev_name(&evdev->dev);
evdev->handle.handler = handler;
evdev->handle.private = evdev;
evdev->dev.devt = MKDEV(INPUT_MAJOR, EVDEV_MINOR_BASE + minor);
evdev->dev.class = &input_class;
evdev->dev.parent = &dev->dev;
evdev->dev.release = evdev_free;
device_initialize(&evdev->dev);
error = input_register_handle(&evdev->handle);
error = evdev_install_chrdev(evdev);
error = device_add(&evdev->dev);
...
return 0;
}
也是省略了部分出错的判断，我们来看看关键的几个地方
首先，自己计算一个minor，在自己管理的32个minor的基础上
分配一个新的，evdev结构，初始化（包括了设备初始化）
注册一个新的 handle注意不是handler
存储 evdev，就是放在一个数组中，方便索引
int input_register_handle(struct input_handle *handle)
{
struct input_handler *handler = handle->handler;
struct input_dev *dev = handle->dev;
int error;
/*
* We take dev->mutex here to prevent race with
* input_release_device().
*/
error = mutex_lock_interruptible(&dev->mutex);
/*
* Filters go to the head of the list, normal handlers
* to the tail.
*/
if (handler->filter)
list_add_rcu(&handle->d_node, &dev->h_list);
else
list_add_tail_rcu(&handle->d_node, &dev->h_list);
mutex_unlock(&dev->mutex);
/*
* Since we are supposed to be called from ->connect()
* which is mutually exclusive with ->disconnect()
* we can't be racing with input_unregister_handle()
* and so separate lock is not needed here.
*/
list_add_tail_rcu(&handle->h_node, &handler->h_list);
if (handler->start)
handler->start(handle);
return 0;
}
/*
* Pass event first through all filters and then, if event has not been
* filtered out, through all open handles. This function is called with
* dev->event_lock held and interrupts disabled.
*/
static void input_pass_event(struct input_dev *dev,
unsigned int type, unsigned int code, int value)
{
struct input_handler *handler;
struct input_handle *handle;
rcu_read_lock();
handle = rcu_dereference(dev->grab);
if (handle)
handle->handler->event(handle, type, code, value);
else {
bool filtered = false;
list_for_each_entry_rcu(handle, &dev->h_list, d_node) {
if (!handle->open)
continue;
handler = handle->handler;
if (!handler->filter) {
if (filtered)
break;
handler->event(handle, type, code, value);
} else if (handler->filter(handle, type, code, value))
filtered = true;
}
}
rcu_read_unlock();
}
这里读者知道，刚才再说 usb 键盘驱动那里我们卖了一关子，usb 设备对 input 设备注册了自己 open 函数，但是没说哪里调用。
/**
* input_open_device - open input device
* @handle: handle through which device is being accessed
*
* This function should be called by input handlers when they
* want to start receive events from given input device.
*/
int input_open_device(struct input_handle *handle)
{
struct input_dev *dev = handle->dev;
int retval;
...
handle->open++;
if (!dev->users++ && dev->open)
retval = dev->open(dev);
// 就在这里调用了
....
out:
mutex_unlock(&dev->mutex);
return retval;
}
这里设备的 open 函数，以 刚才 usb 键盘为例，就会来到 usb_kbd_open 了，这里与 USB 子系统有关，就不继续分析了。
evdev 的handler 最终调用了 input device 的 open 函数，其实内核的代码注释里面也说了，这里直接引用吧。
"
/**
* input_open_device - open input device
* @handle: handle through which device is being accessed
*
* This function should be called by input handlers when they
* want to start receive events from given input device.
