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. The CAPI message to send is stored in the
|
|
data portion of an skb. 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

|
|
applications with the device
|
|
|
|
u16 (*send_message)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, struct sk_buff *skb)
|

|
|
device
|
|
|
|
char *(*procinfo)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)
|
