<title>Kernel Demux API</title>

<para>The kernel demux API defines a driver-internal interface for registering low-level,
|
|
hardware specific driver to a hardware independent demux layer. It is only of interest for
|
|
DVB device driver writers. The header file for this API is named <emphasis role="tt">demux.h</emphasis> and located in
|
|
<emphasis role="tt">drivers/media/dvb-core</emphasis>.

|
<para>The demux API should be implemented for each demux in the system. It is used to select
|
|
the TS source of a demux and to manage the demux resources. When the demux
|
|
client allocates a resource via the demux API, it receives a pointer to the API of that
|
|
resource.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>Each demux receives its TS input from a DVB front-end or from memory, as set via the
|
|
demux API. In a system with more than one front-end, the API can be used to select one of
|
|
the DVB front-ends as a TS source for a demux, unless this is fixed in the HW platform. The
|
|
demux API only controls front-ends regarding their connections with demuxes; the APIs
|
|
used to set the other front-end parameters, such as tuning, are not defined in this
|
|
document.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>The functions that implement the abstract interface demux should be defined static or
|
|
module private and registered to the Demux Directory for external access. It is not necessary
|
|
to implement every function in the demux_t struct, however (for example, a demux interface
|
|
might support Section filtering, but not TS or PES filtering). The API client is expected to
|
|
check the value of any function pointer before calling the function: the value of NULL means
|
|
“function not available”.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>Whenever the functions of the demux API modify shared data, the possibilities of lost
|
|
update and race condition problems should be addressed, e.g. by protecting parts of code with
|
|
mutexes. This is especially important on multi-processor hosts.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>Note that functions called from a bottom half context must not sleep, at least in the 2.2.x
|
|
kernels. Even a simple memory allocation can result in a kernel thread being put to sleep if
|
|
swapping is needed. For example, the Linux kernel calls the functions of a network device
|
|
interface from a bottom half context. Thus, if a demux API function is called from network
|
|
device code, the function must not sleep.

<para>This function provides the demux driver with a memory buffer containing TS

<para>This function runs a descrambling algorithm on the payload of a DVB
|
|
Datagram Section, replacing the original payload with its un-encrypted
|
|
version. The function will be called from the demux API implementation;
|
|
the API client need not call this function directly. Section-level scrambling
|
|
algorithms are currently standardized only for DVB-RCC (return channel
|
|
over 2-directional cable TV network) systems. For all other DVB networks,
|
|
encryption schemes are likely to be proprietary to each data broadcaster. Thus,
|
|
it is expected that this function pointer will have the value of NULL (i.e.,
|
|
function not available) in most demux API implementations. Nevertheless, it
|
|
should be possible to use the function pointer as a hook for dynamically adding
|
|
a “plug-in” descrambling facility to a demux driver.</para>

<title>Demux Callback API</title>
|
|
<para>This kernel-space API comprises the callback functions that deliver filtered data to the
|
|
demux client. Unlike the other APIs, these API functions are provided by the client and called
|
|
from the demux code.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>The function pointers of this abstract interface are not packed into a structure as in the
|
|
other demux APIs, because the callback functions are registered and used independent
|
|
of each other. As an example, it is possible for the API client to provide several
|
|
callback functions for receiving TS packets and no callbacks for PES packets or
|
|
sections.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>The functions that implement the callback API need not be re-entrant: when a demux
|
|
driver calls one of these functions, the driver is not allowed to call the function again before
|
|
the original call returns. If a callback is triggered by a hardware interrupt, it is recommended
|
|
to use the Linux “bottom half” mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback
|
|
function call directly from a hardware interrupt.

crossed the last address of the circular buffer and ”wrapped” to the beginning

the error can possibly be corrected by a higher layer protocol. If the called

<para>This function, provided by the client of the demux API, is called from the
|
|
demux code. The function is only called when filtering of sections has been
|
|
enabled using the function start_filtering() of the section feed API. When the
|
|
demux driver has received a complete section that matches at least one section
|
|
filter, the client is notified via this callback function. Normally this function is
|
|
called for each received section; however, it is also possible to deliver multiple
|
|
sections with one callback, for example when the system load is high. If an
|
|
error occurs while receiving a section, this function should be called with
|
|
the corresponding error type set in the success field, whether or not there is
|
|
data to deliver. The Section Feed implementation should maintain a circular
|
|
buffer for received sections. However, this is not necessary if the Section Feed
|
|
API is implemented as a client of the TS Feed API, because the TS Feed
|
|
implementation then buffers the received data. The size of the circular buffer
|
|
can be configured using the set() function in the Section Feed API. If there
|
|
is no room in the circular buffer when a new section is received, the section
|
|
must be discarded. If this happens, the value of the success parameter should
|
|
be DMX_OVERRUN_ERROR on the next callback.</para>

<para>A section feed is a resource consisting of a PID filter and a set of section filters. Using this

API, the client can set the properties of a section feed and to start/stop filtering. The API is

<para>On demux platforms that provide section filtering in hardware, the Section Feed API
|
|
implementation provides a software wrapper for the demux hardware. Other platforms may
|
|
support only PID filtering in hardware, requiring that TS packets are converted to sections in
|
|
software. In the latter case the Section Feed API implementation can be a client of the TS

Feed API.

<para>This function is used to allocate a section filter on the demux. It should only be
|
|
called when no filtering is in progress on this section feed. If a filter cannot be
|
|
allocated, the function fails with -ENOSPC. See in section ?? for the format of
|
|
the section filter.</para>

|
|
<para>The bitfields filter_mask and filter_value should only be modified when no
|
|
filtering is in progress on this section feed. filter_mask controls which bits of
|
|
filter_value are compared with the section headers/payload. On a binary value
|
|
of 1 in filter_mask, the corresponding bits are compared. The filter only accepts
|
|
sections that are equal to filter_value in all the tested bit positions. Any changes
|
|
to the values of filter_mask and filter_value are guaranteed to take effect only
|
|
when the start_filtering() function is called next time. The parent pointer in
|
|
the struct is initialized by the API implementation to the value of the feed
|
|
parameter. The priv pointer is not used by the API implementation, and can
|
|
thus be freely utilized by the caller of this function. Any data pointed to by the
|
|
priv pointer is available to the recipient of the dmx_section_cb() function call.</para>

<para>While the maximum section filter length (DMX_MAX_FILTER_SIZE) is
|
|
currently set at 16 bytes, hardware filters of that size are not available on all
|
|
platforms. Therefore, section filtering will often take place first in hardware,
|
|
followed by filtering in software for the header bytes that were not covered
|
|
by a hardware filter. The filter_mask field can be checked to determine how
|
|
many bytes of the section filter are actually used, and if the hardware filter will
|
|
suffice. Additionally, software-only section filters can optionally be allocated
|
|
to clients when all hardware section filters are in use. Note that on most demux
|
|
hardware it is not possible to filter on the section_length field of the section
|
|
header – thus this field is ignored, even though it is included in filter_value and
|
|
filter_mask fields.</para>
