Same story than hid_hw_raw_requests:
This allows to intercept and prevent or change the behavior of
hid_hw_output_report() from a bpf program.
The intent is to solve a couple of use case:
- firewalling a HID device: a firewall can monitor who opens the hidraw
nodes and then prevent or allow access to write operations on that
hidraw node.
- change the behavior of a device and emulate a new HID feature request
The hook is allowed to be run as sleepable so it can itself call
hid_hw_output_report(), which allows to "convert" one feature request into
another or even call the feature request on a different HID device on the
same physical device.

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.
