David,
as I still haven't heard anything from Karsten and none of the other
ISDN developers has volunteered to step into the breach, I would like to
get back to the suggestion of merging my ISDN patches through you.
Here is a respin of the four patches for the Kernel CAPI subsystem I
first submitted on 2009-09-06. I have folded into patch 1 the amendment
I posted as "patch 5/4" on 2009-09-25, and re-added to patches 2 and 3
Karsten's original Acked-by that came out of the discussion on the
isdn4linux mailing list. Apart from that, the series is unchanged from
the second submission on 2009-09-19.
I'll be following up with the respun patches to the Gigaset driver.
It would be great if these could still be integrated into kernel release
2.6.32.
Thanks,
Tilman
- Note that send_message() may be called in interrupt context.
- Describe the storage of CAPI messages and payload data in SKBs.
- Add more details to the description of the _cmsg structure.
- Describe kernelcapi debugging output.

Info values in the 0x00xx range are defined in the CAPI standard
as "Informational, message processed successfully". Therefore a
CONNECT_B3_CONF message with an Info value in that range should
open an NCCI just as with Info==0.

In several places, capidrv sends a CAPI message to the ISDN
device and then updates its internal state accordingly.
If the response message from the device arrives before the
state is updated, it may be rejected or processed incorrectly.
Avoid these races by updating the state before emitting the
message.

Being able to change the debugmode module parameter of capidrv on the
fly is quite useful for debugging and doesn't do any harm.
