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:

                                             图 2.2.1  声卡的软件逻辑结构

 

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<<idx2) {
				if (module_slot_match(module, idx2)) {
					idx = idx2;
					break;
				}
			}
	}
	if (idx < 0) {
		for (idx2 = 0; idx2 < SNDRV_CARDS; idx2++)
			/* idx == -1 == 0xffff means: take any free slot */
			if (~snd_cards_lock & idx & 1<<idx2) {
				if (!slots[idx2] || !*slots[idx2]) {
					idx = idx2;
					break;
				}
			}
	}

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。
