The parent device ref's the libinput device during pre_init and unref's it during DEVICE_INIT, so the copy is lost. During DEVICE_ON, the libinput device is re-added and ref'd, this one stays around now. But the takeaway is: unless the device is enabled, no libinput device reference is available. If a device is a mixed pointer + keyboard device, a subdevice is created during a WorkProc. The subdevice relied on the parent's libinput_device being available and didn't even check for it. This WorkProc usually runs after the parent's DEVICE_ON, so in most cases all is well. But when running without logind and the server is vt-switched away, the parent device only runs PreInit and DEVICE_INIT but never DEVICE_ON, causing the subdevice to burn, crash, and generally fail horribly when it dereferences the parent's libinput device. Fix this because we have global warming already and don't need to burn more things and also because it's considered bad user experience to have the server crash. The simple fix is to check the parent device first and if it is unavailable, create a new one because it will end up disabled as well anyway, so the ref goes away as well. The use-case where the parent somehow gets disabled but the subdevice doesn't is a bit too niche to worry about. This doesn't happen with logind because in that case we don't get a usable fd while VT-switched away, so we can't even run PreInit and never get this far (see the paused fd handling in the xfree86 code for that). It can be reproduced by setting AutoEnableDevices off, but why would you do that, seriously. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97117 Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
