When we attach a sleepable hook to hid_hw_raw_requests, we can (and in many cases should) call ourself hid_bpf_raw_request(), to actually fetch data from the device itself. However, this means that we might enter an infinite loop between hid_hw_raw_requests hooks and hid_bpf_hw_request() call. To prevent that, if a hid_bpf_hw_request() call is emitted, we prevent any new call of this kfunc by storing the information in the context. This way we can always trace/monitor/filter the incoming bpf requests, while preventing those loops to happen. I don't think exposing "from_bpf" is very interesting because while writing such a bpf program, you need to match at least the report number and/or the source of the call. So a blind "if there is a hid_hw_raw_request() call, I'm emitting another one" makes no real sense.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
