Hello. This patch series revamps an old submission[1] from Dmitry Torokhov that adds support for multiple readers on /proc/acpi/event.
Due to the code reorganization happened in the last 1.5 years I re-implemented it a little differently introducing a subscription mechanism to receive events (it might be used in different context also). driver/acpi/event.c uses it to register a new listener for each process opening the /proc/acpi/event file. I was also wondering if this could fit the recent discussion on "Untangling the sleep hotkey mess"[2] to allow event deliver through the input subsystem (yes, a proposed solution was the other way around but this might still be a viable implementation).
