+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 https://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.
+

+
+
+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.
