D56968 evdev: add devnum sysctl (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56968) makes devnum accessible through the sysctl interface, which can be used from within a jail that does not have access to the input devices through devfs. Use those sysctl values when available and keep the former stat(2) on devfs code path otherwise. Signed-off-by: Quentin Thébault <quentin.thebault@defenso.fr> Sponsored-by: Defenso

This will enable a cleaner patch to make libinput work in jails that have no access to input devices through devfs but can get fds to them using a seat manager (e.g. seatd). See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/1471 |
