Kernel CAPI Interface to Hardware Drivers
-----------------------------------------
1. Overview
From the CAPI 2.0 specification:
COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used
to access ISDN equipment connected to basic rate interfaces (BRI) and primary
rate interfaces (PRI).
Kernel CAPI operates as a dispatching layer between CAPI applications and CAPI
hardware drivers. Hardware drivers register ISDN devices (controllers, in CAPI
lingo) with Kernel CAPI to indicate their readiness to provide their service
to CAPI applications. CAPI applications also register with Kernel CAPI,
requesting association with a CAPI device. Kernel CAPI then dispatches the
application registration to an available device, forwarding it to the
corresponding hardware driver. Kernel CAPI then forwards CAPI messages in both
directions between the application and the hardware driver.
Format and semantics of CAPI messages are specified in the CAPI 2.0 standard.
This standard is freely available from http://www.capi.org.
2. Driver and Device Registration
CAPI drivers optionally register themselves with Kernel CAPI by calling the
Kernel CAPI function register_capi_driver() with a pointer to a struct
capi_driver. This structure must be filled with the name and revision of the
driver, and optionally a pointer to a callback function, add_card(). The
registration can be revoked by calling the function unregister_capi_driver()
with a pointer to the same struct capi_driver.
CAPI drivers must register each of the ISDN devices they control with Kernel
CAPI by calling the Kernel CAPI function attach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to a
struct capi_ctr before they can be used. This structure must be filled with
the names of the driver and controller, and a number of callback function
pointers which are subsequently used by Kernel CAPI for communicating with the
driver. The registration can be revoked by calling the function
detach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to the same struct capi_ctr.
Before the device can be actually used, the driver must fill in the device
information fields 'manu', 'version', 'profile' and 'serial' in the capi_ctr
structure of the device, and signal its readiness by calling capi_ctr_ready().
From then on, Kernel CAPI may call the registered callback functions for the
device.
If the device becomes unusable for any reason (shutdown, disconnect ...), the
driver has to call capi_ctr_down(). This will prevent further calls to the
callback functions by Kernel CAPI.
3. Application Registration and Communication
Kernel CAPI forwards registration requests from applications (calls to CAPI
operation CAPI_REGISTER) to an appropriate hardware driver by calling its
register_appl() callback function. A unique Application ID (ApplID, u16) is
allocated by Kernel CAPI and passed to register_appl() along with the
parameter structure provided by the application. This is analogous to the
open() operation on regular files or character devices.
After a successful return from register_appl(), CAPI messages from the
application may be passed to the driver for the device via calls to the
send_message() callback function. Conversely, the driver may call Kernel
CAPI's capi_ctr_handle_message() function to pass a received CAPI message to
Kernel CAPI for forwarding to an application, specifying its ApplID.
Deregistration requests (CAPI operation CAPI_RELEASE) from applications are
forwarded as calls to the release_appl() callback function, passing the same
ApplID as with register_appl(). After return from release_appl(), no CAPI
messages for that application may be passed to or from the device anymore.
4. Data Structures
4.1 struct capi_driver
This structure describes a Kernel CAPI driver itself. It is used in the
register_capi_driver() and unregister_capi_driver() functions, and contains
the following non-private fields, all to be set by the driver before calling
register_capi_driver():
char name[32]
the name of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
char revision[32]
the revision number of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
int (*add_card)(struct capi_driver *driver, capicardparams *data)
a callback function pointer (may be NULL)
4.2 struct capi_ctr
This structure describes an ISDN device (controller) handled by a Kernel CAPI
driver. After registration via the attach_capi_ctr() function it is passed to
all controller specific lower layer interface and callback functions to
identify the controller to operate on.
It contains the following non-private fields:
- to be set by the driver before calling attach_capi_ctr():
struct module *owner
pointer to the driver module owning the device
void *driverdata
an opaque pointer to driver specific data, not touched by Kernel CAPI
char name[32]
the name of the controller, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
char *driver_name
the name of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
int (*load_firmware)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, capiloaddata *ldata)
(optional) pointer to a callback function for sending firmware and
configuration data to the device
The function may return before the operation has completed.
Completion must be signalled by a call to capi_ctr_ready().
Return value: 0 on success, error code on error
Called in process context.
void (*reset_ctr)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
(optional) pointer to a callback function for stopping the device,
releasing all registered applications
The function may return before the operation has completed.
Completion must be signalled by a call to capi_ctr_down().
Called in process context.
void (*register_appl)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, u16 applid,
capi_register_params *rparam)
void (*release_appl)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, u16 applid)
pointers to callback functions for registration and deregistration of
applications with the device
Calls to these functions are serialized by Kernel CAPI so that only
one call to any of them is active at any time.
u16 (*send_message)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, struct sk_buff *skb)
pointer to a callback function for sending a CAPI message to the
device
Return value: CAPI error code
If the method returns 0 (CAPI_NOERROR) the driver has taken ownership
of the skb and the caller may no longer access it. If it returns a
non-zero (error) value then ownership of the skb returns to the caller
who may reuse or free it.
The return value should only be used to signal problems with respect
to accepting or queueing the message. Errors occurring during the
actual processing of the message should be signaled with an
appropriate reply message.
May be called in process or interrupt context.
Calls to this function are not serialized by Kernel CAPI, ie. it must
be prepared to be re-entered.
char *(*procinfo)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
pointer to a callback function returning the entry for the device in
the CAPI controller info table, /proc/capi/controller
const struct file_operations *proc_fops
pointers to callback functions for the device's proc file
system entry, /proc/capi/controllers/<n>; pointer to the device's
capi_ctr structure is available from struct proc_dir_entry::data
which is available from struct inode.
Note: Callback functions except send_message() are never called in interrupt
context.
- to be filled in before calling capi_ctr_ready():
u8 manu[CAPI_MANUFACTURER_LEN]
value to return for CAPI_GET_MANUFACTURER
capi_version version
value to return for CAPI_GET_VERSION
capi_profile profile
value to return for CAPI_GET_PROFILE
u8 serial[CAPI_SERIAL_LEN]
value to return for CAPI_GET_SERIAL
4.3 SKBs
CAPI messages are passed between Kernel CAPI and the driver via send_message()
and capi_ctr_handle_message(), stored in the data portion of a socket buffer
(skb). Each skb contains a single CAPI message coded according to the CAPI 2.0
standard.
For the data transfer messages, DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND, the actual
payload data immediately follows the CAPI message itself within the same skb.
The Data and Data64 parameters are not used for processing. The Data64
parameter may be omitted by setting the length field of the CAPI message to 22
instead of 30.
4.4 The _cmsg Structure
(declared in <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>)
The _cmsg structure stores the contents of a CAPI 2.0 message in an easily
accessible form. It contains members for all possible CAPI 2.0 parameters,
including subparameters of the Additional Info and B Protocol structured
parameters, with the following exceptions:
* second Calling party number (CONNECT_IND)
* Data64 (DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND)
* Sending complete (subparameter of Additional Info, CONNECT_REQ and INFO_REQ)
* Global Configuration (subparameter of B Protocol, CONNECT_REQ, CONNECT_RESP
and SELECT_B_PROTOCOL_REQ)
Only those parameters appearing in the message type currently being processed
are actually used. Unused members should be set to zero.
Members are named after the CAPI 2.0 standard names of the parameters they
represent. See <linux/isdn/capiutil.h> for the exact spelling. Member data
types are:
u8 for CAPI parameters of type 'byte'
u16 for CAPI parameters of type 'word'
u32 for CAPI parameters of type 'dword'
_cstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct'
The member is a pointer to a buffer containing the parameter in
CAPI encoding (length + content). It may also be NULL, which will
be taken to represent an empty (zero length) parameter.
Subparameters are stored in encoded form within the content part.
_cmstruct alternative representation for CAPI parameters of type 'struct'
(used only for the 'Additional Info' and 'B Protocol' parameters)
The representation is a single byte containing one of the values:
CAPI_DEFAULT: The parameter is empty/absent.
CAPI_COMPOSE: The parameter is present.
Subparameter values are stored individually in the corresponding
_cmsg structure members.
Functions capi_cmsg2message() and capi_message2cmsg() are provided to convert
messages between their transport encoding described in the CAPI 2.0 standard
and their _cmsg structure representation. Note that capi_cmsg2message() does
not know or check the size of its destination buffer. The caller must make
sure it is big enough to accommodate the resulting CAPI message.

result in *msg.
unsigned capi_message2cmsg(_cmsg *cmsg, u8 *msg)
Disassembles the CAPI 2.0 message in *msg, storing the parameters in

u16 Messagenumber, u32 Controller)
Fills the header part and address field of the _cmsg structure *cmsg
with the given values, zeroing the remainder of the structure so only
parameters with non-default values need to be changed before sending
the message.
void capi_cmsg_answer(_cmsg *cmsg)
Sets the low bit of the Subcommand field in *cmsg, thereby converting
_REQ to _CONF and _IND to _RESP.
char *capi_cmd2str(u8 Command, u8 Subcommand)
Returns the CAPI 2.0 message name corresponding to the given command
and subcommand values, as a static ASCII string. The return value may
be NULL if the command/subcommand is not one of those defined in the
CAPI 2.0 standard.
7. Debugging
The module kernelcapi has a module parameter showcapimsgs controlling some
debugging output produced by the module. It can only be set when the module is
loaded, via a parameter "showcapimsgs=<n>" to the modprobe command, either on
the command line or in the configuration file.
If the lowest bit of showcapimsgs is set, kernelcapi logs controller and
application up and down events.
In addition, every registered CAPI controller has an associated traceflag
parameter controlling how CAPI messages sent from and to tha controller are
logged. The traceflag parameter is initialized with the value of the
showcapimsgs parameter when the controller is registered, but can later be
changed via the MANUFACTURER_REQ command KCAPI_CMD_TRACE.
If the value of traceflag is non-zero, CAPI messages are logged.
DATA_B3 messages are only logged if the value of traceflag is > 2.
If the lowest bit of traceflag is set, only the command/subcommand and message
length are logged. Otherwise, kernelcapi logs a readable representation of
the entire message.
