+\section{Input Device}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device}
+
+The virtio input device can be used to create virtual human interface
+devices such as keyboards, mice and tablets. An instance of the virtio
+device represents one such input device. Device behavior mirrors that
+of the evdev layer in Linux, making pass-through implementations on top
+of evdev easy.
+
+This specification defines how evdev events are transported
+over virtio and how the set of supported events is discovered by a driver.
+It does not, however, define the semantics of input events as this is
+dependent on the particular evdev implementation. For the list of events
+used by Linux input devices, see
+\href{https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h}{include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h}
+in the Linux source tree.

+\subsection{Device configuration layout}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device configuration layout}

+Device configuration holds all information the guest needs to handle
+the device, most importantly the events which are supported.

+	u8    reserved[5];
+	union {
+		char string[128];

+		struct virtio_input_absinfo abs;
+		struct virtio_input_devids ids;
+	} u;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+To query a specific piece of information the driver sets
+\field{select} and \field{subsel} accordingly, then checks \field{size}
+to see how much information is available.  \field{size} can be
+zero if no information is available.  Strings do not include a
+NUL terminator. Related evdev ioctl names are provided for reference.
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_NAME]
+\field{subsel} is zero.
+Returns the name of the device, in \field{u.string}.
+
+Similar to EVIOCGNAME ioctl for Linux evdev devices.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_SERIAL]
+\field{subsel} is zero.
+Returns the serial number of the device, in \field{u.string}.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ID_DEVIDS]
+\field{subsel} is zero.
+Returns ID information of the device, in \field{u.ids}.
+
+Similar to EVIOCGID ioctl for Linux evdev devices.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_PROP_BITS]
+\field{subsel} is zero.
+Returns input properties of the device, in \field{u.bitmap}.
+Individual bits in the bitmap correspond to INPUT_PROP_*
+constants used by the underlying evdev implementation.
+
+Similar to EVIOCGPROP ioctl for Linux evdev devices.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_EV_BITS]
+\field{subsel} specifies the event type using EV_*
+constants in the underlying evdev implementation. If
+\field{size} is non-zero the event type is supported and
+a bitmap of supported event codes is returned in \field{u.bitmap}.
+Individual bits in the bitmap correspond to
+implementation-defined input event codes, for example keys
+or pointing device axes.
+
+Similar to EVIOCGBIT ioctl for Linux evdev devices.
+
+\item[VIRTIO_INPUT_CFG_ABS_INFO]
+\field{subsel} specifies the absolute axis using ABS_*
+constants in the underlying evdev implementation.
+Information about the axis will be returned in \field{u.abs}.
+
+Similar to EVIOCGABS ioctl for Linux evdev devices.

+\subsection{Device Initialization}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device Initialization}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The device is queried for supported event types and codes.
+\item The eventq is populated with receive buffers.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\drivernormative{\subsubsection}{Device Initialization}{Device Types / Input Device / Device Initialization}
+A driver MUST set both \field{select} and \field{subsel} when querying
+  device configuration, in any order.
+
+A driver MUST NOT write to configuration fields other than \field{select}
+  and \field{subsel}.
+
+A driver SHOULD check the \field{size} field before accessing the
+  configuration information.
+
+\devicenormative{\subsubsection}{Device Initialization}{Device Types / Input Device / Device Initialization}
+A device MUST set the \field{size} field to zero if it doesn't support a
+  given \field{select} and \field{subsel} combination.
+
+\subsection{Device Operation}\label{sec:Device Types / Input Device / Device Operation}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Input events such as press and release events for keys and
+  buttons, and motion events for pointing devices are sent from
+  the device to the driver using the eventq.
+\item Status feedback such as keyboard LED updates are sent from the
+  driver to the device using the statusq.
+\item Both queues use the same virtio_input_event struct.
+  \field{type}, \field{code} and \field{value} are filled according to
+  the Linux input layer (evdev) interface, except that the fields are
+  in little endian byte order whereas the evdev ioctl interface uses
+  native endian-ness.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_input_event {
+	le16 type;
+	le16 code;
+	le32 value;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\drivernormative{\subsubsection}{Device Operation}{Device Types / Input Device / Device Operation}
+
+A driver SHOULD keep the eventq populated with buffers. These buffers
+  MUST be device-writable and MUST be at least the size of
+  struct virtio_input_event.
+
+Buffers placed into the statusq by a driver MUST be at least the size
+  of struct virtio_input_event.
+
+A driver SHOULD ignore eventq input events it does not recognize. Note
+  that evdev devices generally maintain backward compatibility by sending
+  redundant events and relying on the consuming side using only the events
+  it understands and ignoring the rest.
+
+\devicenormative{\subsubsection}{Device Operation}{Device Types / Input Device / Device Operation}
+
+A device MAY drop input events if the eventq does not have enough
+  available buffers. It SHOULD NOT drop individual input events if
+  they are part of a sequence forming one input device update. For
+  example, a pointing device update typically consists of several
+  input events, one for each axis, and a terminating EV_SYN event.
+  A device SHOULD either buffer or drop the entire sequence.
