In March 2025, Bhushan Shah focused on improving the reliability of the input subsystem in the canonical/mir repository by addressing a persistent issue in the evdev device watcher cleanup path. Using C++ and leveraging expertise in device drivers and embedded Linux kernel development, Bhushan implemented a targeted bug fix that ensures device watchers are properly removed when devices are detached. This approach uses device numbers for accurate identification, preventing stale watchers and enabling reliable device re-attachment in multi-device environments. The work resulted in clearer, more maintainable code, reducing support overhead and improving runtime stability for systems relying on evdev input handling.

March 2025 focused on reliability and lifecycle integrity of the input subsystem in canonical/mir. Completed a targeted bug fix to the Evdev device watcher cleanup path, preventing lingering watchers and enabling reliable re-attachment after device removal. This improves runtime stability in multi-device scenarios, reduces re-attachment failures, and lowers support/debug costs. Commit reference: 494dcee69d77610eff7220b90db4c387b90eda29.
