[PATCH 2/2] Input: Add EVIOC mechanism for MT slots

From: Henrik Rydberg
Date: Thu Jan 12 2012 - 14:24:41 EST


This patch adds the ability to extract MT slot data via a new ioctl,
EVIOCGMTSLOTS. The function returns an array of slot values for the
specified ABS_MT event type.

Example of user space usage:

struct { struct input_mt_request req; int values[64]; } data;
data.req.code = ABS_MT_POSITION_X;
if (ioctl(fd, EVIOCGMTSLOTS(sizeof(data)), &data) < 0)
return -1;
for (i = 0; i < data.req.num_values; i++)
printf("slot %d: %d\n", i, data.values[i]);

Hi Dmitry,

This is a new take on the MT slot ioctl patch. A new ioctl is added,
which takes a request structure and returns a (variable) array of slot
values. The patch seems to work, but testing has not been extensive (yet).

Cheers,
Henrik
