Peter Hutterer 582ce30d27 timer: always restart the timer loop when we called one of them
If a timer_func causes the removal or addition of a different timer, our tmp
pointer from the list_for_each_safe may not be valid anymore.

This was triggered by having the debounce code trigger a middle button state
change, which caused that timer to be cancelled.

libinput

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

libinput originates from weston, the Wayland reference compositor.

Architecture

libinput is not used directly by applications, rather it is used by the xf86-input-libinput X.Org driver or wayland compositors. The typical software stack for a system running Wayland is:

@dotfile libinput-stack-wayland.gv

Where the Wayland compositor may be Weston, mutter, KWin, etc. Note that Wayland encourages the use of toolkits, so the Wayland client (your application) does not usually talk directly to the compositor but rather employs a toolkit (e.g. GTK) to do so.

The simplified software stack for a system running X.Org is:

@dotfile libinput-stack-xorg.gv

Again, on a modern system the application does not usually talk directly to the X server using Xlib but rather employs a toolkit to do so.

Reporting Bugs

Bugs can be filed in the libinput component of Wayland: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wayland&component=libinput

Where possible, please provide an evemu recording of the input device and/or the event sequence in question.

See @ref reporting_bugs for more info.
