Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+
+Description of the Interface between Linklevel and Hardwarelevel
+ of isdn4linux:
+
+
+ The Communication between Linklevel (LL) and Hardwarelevel (HL)
+ is based on the struct isdn_if (defined in isdnif.h).
+
+ An HL-driver can register itself at LL by calling the function
+ register_isdn() with a pointer to that struct. Prior to that, it has
+ to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of
+ the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using
+ the function-pointers defined in isdn_if.
+
+ Changes/Version numbering:
+
+ During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been
+ made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package
+ had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately
+ was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit
+ got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization,
+ separated by slashes:
+
+ c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v
+
+ where
+
+ c.c is the revision of the common code.
+ t.t is the revision of the tty related code.
+ n.n is the revision of the network related code.
+ p.p is the revision of the ppp related code.
+ a.a is the revision of the audio related code.
+ v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code.
+
+ Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing
+ the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old,
+ separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters
+ above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module.
+ ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h
+
+1. Description of the fields of isdn_if:
+
+ int channels;
+
+ This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels
+ supported prior to calling register_isdn(). Upon return of the call,
+ the LL puts an id there, which has to be used by the HL-driver when
+ invoking the other callbacks.
+
+ int maxbufsize;
+
+ ***CHANGE0.6: New since this version.
+
+ Also to be preset by the HL-driver. With this value the HL-driver
+ tells the LL the maximum size of a data-packet it will accept.
+
+ unsigned long features;
+
+ To be preset by the HL-driver. Using this field, the HL-driver
+ announces the features supported. At the moment this is limited to
+ report the supported layer2 and layer3-protocols. For setting this
+ field the constants ISDN_FEATURE..., declared in isdnif.h have to be
+ used.
+
+ ***CHANGE0.7.1: The line type (1TR6, EDSS1) has to be set.
+
+ unsigned short hl_hdrlen;
+
+ ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
+
+ To be preset by the HL-driver, if it supports sk_buff's. The driver
+ should put here the amount of additional space needed in sk_buff's for
+ its internal purposes. Drivers not supporting sk_buff's should
+ initialize this field to 0.
+
+ void (*rcvcallb_skb)(int, int, struct sk_buff *)
+
+ ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
+
+ This field will be set by LL. The HL-driver delivers received data-
+ packets by calling this function. Upon calling, the HL-driver must
+ already have its private data pulled off the head of the sk_buff.
+
+ Parameter:
+ int driver-Id
+ int Channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+ struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff, containing received data.
+
+ int (*statcallb)(isdn_ctrl*);
+
+ This field will be set by LL. This function has to be called by the
+ HL-driver for signaling status-changes or other events to the LL.
+
+ Parameter:
+ isdn_ctrl*
+
+ The struct isdn_ctrl also defined in isdn_if. The exact meanings of its
+ fields are described together with the descriptions of the possible
+ events. Here is only a short description of the fields:
+
+ driver = driver Id.
+ command = event-type. (one of the constants ISDN_STAT_...)
+ arg = depends on event-type.
+ num = depends on event-type.
+
+ Returnvalue:
+ 0 on success, else -1
+
+ int (*command)(isdn_ctrl*);
+
+ This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. It points to a function,
+ to be called by LL to perform functions like dialing, B-channel
+ setup, etc. The exact meaning of the parameters is described with the
+ descriptions of the possible commands.
+
+ Parameter:
+ isdn_ctrl*
+ driver = driver-Id
+ command = command to perform. (one of the constants ISDN_CMD_...)
+ arg = depends on command.
+ num = depends on command.
+
+ Returnvalue:
+ >=0 on success, else error-code (-ENODEV etc.)
+
+ int (*writebuf_skb)(int, int, int, struct sk_buff *)
+
+ ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
+ ***CHANGEI.1.21: New field.
+
+ This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will
+ be called by the LL for delivering data to be send via B-Channel.
+
+
+ Parameter:
+ int driver-Id ***CHANGE0.7.4: New parameter.
+ int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
+ int ack ***ChangeI1.21: New parameter
+ If this is !0, the driver has to signal the delivery
+ by sending an ISDN_STAT_BSENT. If this is 0, the driver
+ MUST NOT send an ISDN_STAT_BSENT.
+ struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff containing data to be send via
+ B-channel.
+
+ Returnvalue:
+ Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL on
+ oversized packets etc.)
+
+ int (*writecmd)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
+
+ This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
+ called to perform write-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. sending commands
+ to the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
+ intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
+ and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
+ this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
+
+ Parameter:
+ u_char* pointer to data.
+ int length of data.
+ int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
+ memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
+ 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
+ memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
+ int driver-Id.
+ int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
+
+***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
+
+ Returnvalue:
+ Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
+
+ int (*readstat)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
+
+ This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
+ called to perform read-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. reading replies
+ from the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
+ intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
+ and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
+ this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
+
+ Parameter:
+ u_char* pointer to data.
+ int length of data.
+ int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
+ memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
+ 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
+ memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
+ int driver-Id.
+ int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
+
+***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
+
+ Returnvalue:
+ Length of data on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
+
+ char id[20];
+ ***CHANGE0.7: New since this version.
+
+ This string has to be preset by the HL-driver. Its purpose is for
+ identification of the driver by the user. Eg.: it is shown in the
+ status-info of /dev/isdninfo. Furthermore it is used as Id for binding
+ net-interfaces to a specific channel. If a string of length zero is
+ given, upon return, isdn4linux will replace it by a generic name. (line0,
+ line1 etc.) It is recommended to make this string configurable during
+ module-load-time. (copy a global variable to this string.) For doing that,
+ modules 1.2.8 or newer are necessary.
+
+2. Description of the commands, a HL-driver has to support:
+
+ All commands will be performed by calling the function command() described
+ above from within the LL. The field command of the struct-parameter will
+ contain the desired command, the field driver is always set to the
+ appropriate driver-Id.
+
+ Until now, the following commands are defined:
+
+***CHANGEI1.34: The parameter "num" has been replaced by a union "parm" containing
+ the old "num" and a new setup_type struct used for ISDN_CMD_DIAL
+ and ISDN_STAT_ICALL callback.
+
+ ISDN_CMD_IOCTL:
+
+ This command is intended for performing ioctl-calls for configuring
+ hardware or similar purposes (setting port-addresses, loading firmware
+ etc.) For this purpose, in the LL all ioctl-calls with an argument
+ >= IIOCDRVCTL (0x100) will be handed transparently to this
+ function after subtracting 0x100 and placing the result in arg.
+ Example:
+ If a userlevel-program calls ioctl(0x101,...) the function gets
+ called with the field command set to 1.
+
+ Parameter:
+ driver = driver-Id.
+ command = ISDN_CMD_IOCTL

+
+ If the Line has been designed as SPV (a special german
+ feature, meaning semi-leased-line) the phone has to
+ start with an "S".

+ Parameter:
+ driver = driver-Id
+ command = ISDN_STAT_DISPLAY
+ arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+ para.display= string containing DISPLAY-message.
+
+ ISDN_STAT_PROT:
+
+ With this call, the HL-driver delivers protocol specific infos to the LL.
+ The call is not implicitely bound to a connection.
+
+ Parameter:
+ driver = driver-Id
+ command = ISDN_STAT_PROT
+ arg = The lower 8 Bits define the addressed protocol as defined
+ in ISDN_PTYPE..., the upper bits are used to differentiate
+ the protocol specific STAT.
+
+ para = protocol and function specific. See isdnif.h for detail.
+
+ ISDN_STAT_DISCH:
+
+ With this call, the HL-driver signals the LL to disable or enable the
+ use of supplied channel and driver.
+ The call may be used to reduce the available number of B-channels after
+ loading the driver. The LL has to ignore a disabled channel when searching
+ for free channels. The HL driver itself never delivers STAT callbacks for
+ disabled channels.
+ The LL returns a nonzero code if the operation was not successful or the
+ selected channel is actually regarded as busy.
+
+ Parameter:
+ driver = driver-Id
+ command = ISDN_STAT_DISCH
+ arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+ parm.num[0] = 0 if channel shall be disabled, else enabled.
+
+ ISDN_STAT_L1ERR:
+
+ ***CHANGEI1.21 new status message.
+ A signal can be sent to the linklevel if an Layer1-error results in
+ packet-loss on receive or send. The field errcode of the cmd.parm
+ union describes the error more precisely.
+
+ Parameter:
+ driver = driver-Id
+ command = ISDN_STAT_L1ERR
+ arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+ parm.errcode= ISDN_STAT_L1ERR_SEND: Packet lost while sending.
+ ISDN_STAT_L1ERR_RECV: Packet lost while receiving.
+ ISDN_STAT_FAXIND:
+
+ With this call the HL-driver signals a fax sub-command to the LL.
+ For details refer to INTERFACE.fax
+
+ Parameter:
+ driver = driver-Id.
+ command = ISDN_STAT_FAXIND
+ arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
+ parm = unused.
