1. struct snd_card

 

1.1. snd_card是什么

snd_card可以说是整个ALSA音频驱动最顶层的一个结构,整个声卡的软件逻辑结构开始于该结构,几乎所有与声音相关的逻辑设备都是在snd_card的管理之下,声卡驱动的第一个动作通常就是创建一个snd_card结构体。正因为如此,本节中,我们也从 struct cnd_card开始吧。

 

1.2. snd_card的定义

snd_card的定义位于改头文件中:include/sound/core.h

/* main structure for soundcard */ struct snd_card { int number; /* number of soundcard (index to snd_cards) */ char id[16]; /* id string of this card */ char driver[16]; /* driver name */ char shortname[32]; /* short name of this soundcard */ char longname[80]; /* name of this soundcard */ char mixername[80]; /* mixer name */ char components[128]; /* card components delimited with space */ struct module *module; /* top-level module */ void *private_data; /* private data for soundcard */ void (*private_free) (struct snd_card *card); /* callback for freeing of private data */ struct list_head devices; /* devices */ unsigned int last_numid; /* last used numeric ID */ struct rw_semaphore controls_rwsem; /* controls list lock */ rwlock_t ctl_files_rwlock; /* ctl_files list lock */ int controls_count; /* count of all controls */ int user_ctl_count; /* count of all user controls */ struct list_head controls; /* all controls for this card */ struct list_head ctl_files; /* active control files */ struct snd_info_entry *proc_root; /* root for soundcard specific files */ struct snd_info_entry *proc_id; /* the card id */ struct proc_dir_entry *proc_root_link; /* number link to real id */ struct list_head files_list; /* all files associated to this card */ struct snd_shutdown_f_ops *s_f_ops; /* file operations in the shutdown state */ spinlock_t files_lock; /* lock the files for this card */ int shutdown; /* this card is going down */ int free_on_last_close; /* free in context of file_release */ wait_queue_head_t shutdown_sleep; struct device *dev; /* device assigned to this card */ #ifndef CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED struct device *card_dev; /* cardX object for sysfs */ #endif #ifdef CONFIG_PM unsigned int power_state; /* power state */ struct mutex power_lock; /* power lock */ wait_queue_head_t power_sleep; #endif #if defined(CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS) || defined(CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS_MODULE) struct snd_mixer_oss *mixer_oss; int mixer_oss_change_count; #endif };

  • struct list_head devices     记录该声卡下所有逻辑设备的链表
  • struct list_head controls    记录该声卡下所有的控制单元的链表
  • void *private_data            声卡的私有数据,可以在创建声卡时通过参数指定数据的大小

2. 声卡的建立流程

 

2.1.1. 第一步,创建snd_card的一个实例

 struct snd_card *card; int err; .... err = snd_card_create(index, id, THIS_MODULE, 0, &card);

  • index           一个整数值,该声卡的编号
  • id                字符串,声卡的标识符
  • 第四个参数    该参数决定在创建snd_card实例时,需要同时额外分配的私有数据的大小,该数据的指针最终会赋值给snd_card的private_data数据成员
  • card             返回所创建的snd_card实例的指针

 

2.1.2. 第二步,创建声卡的芯片专用数据

声卡的专用数据主要用于存放该声卡的一些资源信息,例如中断资源、io资源、dma资源等。可以有两种创建方法:

  • 通过上一步中snd_card_create()中的第四个参数,让snd_card_create自己创建

// struct mychip 用于保存专用数据 err = snd_card_create(index, id, THIS_MODULE, sizeof(struct mychip), &card); // 从private_data中取出 struct mychip *chip = card->private_data;

  • 自己创建:

struct mychip { struct snd_card *card; .... }; struct snd_card *card; struct mychip *chip; chip = kzalloc(sizeof(*chip), GFP_KERNEL); ...... err = snd_card_create(index[dev], id[dev], THIS_MODULE, 0, &card); // 专用数据记录snd_card实例 chip->card = card; .....

然后,把芯片的专有数据注册为声卡的一个低阶设备:

static int snd_mychip_dev_free(struct snd_device *device) { return snd_mychip_free(device->device_data); } static struct snd_device_ops ops = { .dev_free = snd_mychip_dev_free, }; .... snd_device_new(card, SNDRV_DEV_LOWLEVEL, chip, &ops);

 注册为低阶设备主要是为了当声卡被注销时,芯片专用数据所占用的内存可以被自动地释放。

2.1.3. 第三步,设置Driver的ID和名字

strcpy(card->driver, "My Chip"); strcpy(card->shortname, "My Own Chip 123"); sprintf(card->longname, "%s at 0x%lx irq %i", card->shortname, chip->ioport, chip->irq);

snd_card的driver字段保存着芯片的ID字符串,user空间的alsa-lib会使用到该字符串,所以必须要保证该ID的唯一性。shortname字段更多地用于打印信息,longname字段则会出现在/proc/asound/cards中。

 

2.1.4. 第四步,创建声卡的功能部件(逻辑设备),例如PCM,Mixer,MIDI等

这时候可以创建声卡的各种功能部件了,还记得开头的snd_card结构体的devices字段吗?每一种部件的创建最终会调用snd_device_new()来生成一个snd_device实例,并把该实例链接到snd_card的devices链表中。

通常,alsa-driver的已经提供了一些常用的部件的创建函数,而不必直接调用snd_device_new(),比如:

    PCM  ----        snd_pcm_new()

    RAWMIDI --    snd_rawmidi_new()

    CONTROL --   snd_ctl_create()

    TIMER   --       snd_timer_new()

    INFO    --        snd_card_proc_new()

    JACK    --        snd_jack_new()

 

2.1.5. 第五步,注册声卡

 err = snd_card_register(card); if (err < 0) { snd_card_free(card); return err; }

 

 

2.2. 一个实际的例子

我把/sound/arm/pxa2xx-ac97.c的部分代码贴上来:

static int __devinit pxa2xx_ac97_probe(struct platform_device *dev) { struct snd_card *card; struct snd_ac97_bus *ac97_bus; struct snd_ac97_template ac97_template; int ret; pxa2xx_audio_ops_t *pdata = dev->dev.platform_data; if (dev->id >= 0) { dev_err(&dev->dev, "PXA2xx has only one AC97 port./n"); ret = -ENXIO; goto err_dev; } ////(1)//// ret = snd_card_create(SNDRV_DEFAULT_IDX1, SNDRV_DEFAULT_STR1, THIS_MODULE, 0, &card); if (ret < 0) goto err; card->dev = &dev->dev; ////(3)//// strncpy(card->driver, dev->dev.driver->name, sizeof(card->driver)); ////(4)//// ret = pxa2xx_pcm_new(card, &pxa2xx_ac97_pcm_client, &pxa2xx_ac97_pcm); if (ret) goto err; ////(2)//// ret = pxa2xx_ac97_hw_probe(dev); if (ret) goto err; ////(4)//// ret = snd_ac97_bus(card, 0, &pxa2xx_ac97_ops, NULL, &ac97_bus); if (ret) goto err_remove; memset(&ac97_template, 0, sizeof(ac97_template)); ret = snd_ac97_mixer(ac97_bus, &ac97_template, &pxa2xx_ac97_ac97); if (ret) goto err_remove; ////(3)//// snprintf(card->shortname, sizeof(card->shortname), "%s", snd_ac97_get_short_name(pxa2xx_ac97_ac97)); snprintf(card->longname, sizeof(card->longname), "%s (%s)", dev->dev.driver->name, card->mixername); if (pdata && pdata->codec_pdata[0]) snd_ac97_dev_add_pdata(ac97_bus->codec[0], pdata->codec_pdata[0]); snd_card_set_dev(card, &dev->dev); ////(5)//// ret = snd_card_register(card); if (ret == 0) { platform_set_drvdata(dev, card); return 0; } err_remove: pxa2xx_ac97_hw_remove(dev); err: if (card) snd_card_free(card); err_dev: return ret; } static int __devexit pxa2xx_ac97_remove(struct platform_device *dev) { struct snd_card *card = platform_get_drvdata(dev); if (card) { snd_card_free(card); platform_set_drvdata(dev, NULL); pxa2xx_ac97_hw_remove(dev); } return 0; } static struct platform_driver pxa2xx_ac97_driver = { .probe = pxa2xx_ac97_probe, .remove = __devexit_p(pxa2xx_ac97_remove), .driver = { .name = "pxa2xx-ac97", .owner = THIS_MODULE, #ifdef CONFIG_PM .pm = &pxa2xx_ac97_pm_ops, #endif }, }; static int __init pxa2xx_ac97_init(void) { return platform_driver_register(&pxa2xx_ac97_driver); } static void __exit pxa2xx_ac97_exit(void) { platform_driver_unregister(&pxa2xx_ac97_driver); } module_init(pxa2xx_ac97_init); module_exit(pxa2xx_ac97_exit); MODULE_AUTHOR("Nicolas Pitre"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("AC97 driver for the Intel PXA2xx chip");

 

 

驱动程序通常由probe回调函数开始,对一下2.1中的步骤,是否有相似之处?

 

经过以上的创建步骤之后,声卡的逻辑结构如下图所示:

下面的章节里我们分别讨论一下snd_card_create()和snd_card_register()这两个函数。

 

3. snd_card_create()

 snd_card_create()在/sound/core/init.c中定义。

/** * snd_card_create - create and initialize a soundcard structure * @idx: card index (address) [0 ... (SNDRV_CARDS-1)] * @xid: card identification (ASCII string) * @module: top level module for locking * @extra_size: allocate this extra size after the main soundcard structure * @card_ret: the pointer to store the created card instance * * Creates and initializes a soundcard structure. * * The function allocates snd_card instance via kzalloc with the given * space for the driver to use freely. The allocated struct is stored * in the given card_ret pointer. * * Returns zero if successful or a negative error code. */ int snd_card_create(int idx, const char *xid, struct module *module, int extra_size, struct snd_card **card_ret)

首先,根据extra_size参数的大小分配内存,该内存区可以作为芯片的专有数据使用(见前面的介绍):

card = kzalloc(sizeof(*card) + extra_size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!card) return -ENOMEM;

拷贝声卡的ID字符串:

if (xid) strlcpy(card->id, xid, sizeof(card->id));

如果传入的声卡编号为-1,自动分配一个索引编号:

if (idx < 0) { for (idx2 = 0; idx2 < SNDRV_CARDS; idx2++) /* idx == -1 == 0xffff means: take any free slot */ if (~snd_cards_lock & idx & 1<

初始化snd_card结构中必要的字段:

card->number = idx; card->module = module; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&card->devices); init_rwsem(&card->controls_rwsem); rwlock_init(&card->ctl_files_rwlock); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&card->controls); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&card->ctl_files); spin_lock_init(&card->files_lock); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&card->files_list); init_waitqueue_head(&card->shutdown_sleep); #ifdef CONFIG_PM mutex_init(&card->power_lock); init_waitqueue_head(&card->power_sleep); #endif

建立逻辑设备:Control

/* the control interface cannot be accessed from the user space until */ /* snd_cards_bitmask and snd_cards are set with snd_card_register */ err = snd_ctl_create(card);

建立proc文件中的info节点:通常就是/proc/asound/card0

err = snd_info_card_create(card);

把第一步分配的内存指针放入private_data字段中:

if (extra_size > 0) card->private_data = (char *)card + sizeof(struct snd_card);

4. snd_card_register()

  snd_card_create()在/sound/core/init.c中定义。

/** * snd_card_register - register the soundcard * @card: soundcard structure * * This function registers all the devices assigned to the soundcard. * Until calling this, the ALSA control interface is blocked from the * external accesses. Thus, you should call this function at the end * of the initialization of the card. * * Returns zero otherwise a negative error code if the registrain failed. */ int snd_card_register(struct snd_card *card)

首先,创建sysfs下的设备:

if (!card->card_dev) { card->card_dev = device_create(sound_class, card->dev, MKDEV(0, 0), card, "card%i", card->number); if (IS_ERR(card->card_dev)) card->card_dev = NULL; }

其中,sound_class是在/sound/sound_core.c中创建的:

static char *sound_devnode(struct device *dev, mode_t *mode) { if (MAJOR(dev->devt) == SOUND_MAJOR) return NULL; return kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "snd/%s", dev_name(dev)); } static int __init init_soundcore(void) { int rc; rc = init_oss_soundcore(); if (rc) return rc; sound_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "sound"); if (IS_ERR(sound_class)) { cleanup_oss_soundcore(); return PTR_ERR(sound_class); } sound_class->devnode = sound_devnode; return 0; }

 

由此可见,声卡的class将会出现在文件系统的/sys/class/sound/下面,并且,sound_devnode()也决定了相应的设备节点也将会出现在/dev/snd/下面。

接下来的步骤,通过snd_device_register_all()注册所有挂在该声卡下的逻辑设备,snd_device_register_all()实际上是通过snd_card的devices链表,遍历所有的snd_device,并且调用snd_device的ops->dev_register()来实现各自设备的注册的。

if ((err = snd_device_register_all(card)) < 0) return err;

最后就是建立一些相应的proc和sysfs下的文件或属性节点,代码就不贴了。

至此,整个声卡完成了建立过程。
