Management of Cards and Devices¶

Card Management¶

void snd_device_initialize(struct device * dev, struct snd_card * card)¶: Initialize struct device for sound devices

Parameters

struct device * dev: device to initialize
struct snd_card * card: card to assign, optional

int snd_card_new(struct device * parent, int idx, const char * xid, struct module * module, int extra_size, struct snd_card ** card_ret)¶: create and initialize a soundcard structure

Parameters

struct device * parent: the parent device object
int idx: card index (address) [0 ... (SNDRV_CARDS-1)]
const char * xid: card identification (ASCII string)
struct module * module: top level module for locking
int extra_size: allocate this extra size after the main soundcard structure
struct snd_card ** card_ret: the pointer to store the created card instance

Description

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.

Return

Zero if successful or a negative error code.

struct snd_card * snd_card_ref(int idx)¶: Get the card object from the index

Parameters

int idx: the card index

Description

Returns a card object corresponding to the given index or NULL if not found. Release the object via snd_card_unref().

int snd_card_disconnect(struct snd_card * card)¶: disconnect all APIs from the file-operations (user space)

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure

Description

Disconnects all APIs from the file-operations (user space).

Return

Zero, otherwise a negative error code.

Note

The current implementation replaces all active file->f_op with special: dummy file operations (they do nothing except release).

void snd_card_disconnect_sync(struct snd_card * card)¶: disconnect card and wait until files get closed

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: card object to disconnect

Description

This calls snd_card_disconnect() for disconnecting all belonging components and waits until all pending files get closed. It assures that all accesses from user-space finished so that the driver can release its resources gracefully.

int snd_card_free_when_closed(struct snd_card * card)¶: Disconnect the card, free it later eventually

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure

Description

Unlike snd_card_free(), this function doesn't try to release the card resource immediately, but tries to disconnect at first. When the card is still in use, the function returns before freeing the resources. The card resources will be freed when the refcount gets to zero.

int snd_card_free(struct snd_card * card)¶: frees given soundcard structure

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure

Description

This function releases the soundcard structure and the all assigned devices automatically. That is, you don't have to release the devices by yourself.

This function waits until the all resources are properly released.

Return

Zero. Frees all associated devices and frees the control interface associated to given soundcard.

void snd_card_set_id(struct snd_card * card, const char * nid)¶: set card identification name

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure
const char * nid: new identification string

Description

This function sets the card identification and checks for name collisions.

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: card instance
const struct attribute_group * group: attribute group to append

int snd_card_register(struct snd_card * card)¶: register the soundcard

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure

Description

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.

Return

Zero otherwise a negative error code if the registration failed.

int snd_component_add(struct snd_card * card, const char * component)¶: add a component string

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure
const char * component: the component id string

Description

This function adds the component id string to the supported list. The component can be referred from the alsa-lib.

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure
struct file * file: file pointer

Description

This function adds the file to the file linked-list of the card. This linked-list is used to keep tracking the connection state, and to avoid the release of busy resources by hotplug.

Return

zero or a negative error code.

int snd_card_file_remove(struct snd_card * card, struct file * file)¶: remove the file from the file list

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: soundcard structure
struct file * file: file pointer

Description

This function removes the file formerly added to the card via snd_card_file_add() function. If all files are removed and snd_card_free_when_closed() was called beforehand, it processes the pending release of resources.

Return

Zero or a negative error code.

Description

Add a virtual slave control to the given master element created via snd_ctl_create_virtual_master() beforehand.

All slaves must be the same type (returning the same information via info callback). The function doesn't check it, so it's your responsibility.

Also, some additional limitations: at most two channels, logarithmic volume control (dB level) thus no linear volume, master can only attenuate the volume without gain

int snd_soc_set_dmi_name(struct snd_soc_card * card, const char * flavour)¶: Register DMI names to card

Parameters

struct snd_soc_card * card: The card to register DMI names
const char * flavour: The flavour "differentiator" for the card amongst its peers.

Description

An Intel machine driver may be used by many different devices but are difficult for userspace to differentiate, since machine drivers ususally use their own name as the card short name and leave the card long name blank. To differentiate such devices and fix bugs due to lack of device-specific configurations, this function allows DMI info to be used as the sound card long name, in the format of "vendor-product-version-board" (Character '-' is used to separate different DMI fields here). This will help the user space to load the device-specific Use Case Manager (UCM) configurations for the card.

Possible card long names may be: DellInc.-XPS139343-01-0310JH ASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.-T100TA-1.0-T100TA Circuitco-MinnowboardMaxD0PLATFORM-D0-MinnowBoardMAX

This function also supports flavoring the card longname to provide the extra differentiation, like "vendor-product-version-board-flavor".

We only keep number and alphabet characters and a few separator characters in the card long name since UCM in the user space uses the card long names as card configuration directory names and AudoConf cannot support special charactors like SPACE.

Returns 0 on success, otherwise a negative error code.

Description

After this function has been called the zones specified in the array will be associated with the jack.

int snd_soc_jack_get_type(struct snd_soc_jack * jack, int micbias_voltage)¶: Based on the mic bias value, this function returns the type of jack from the zones declared in the jack type

Parameters

struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
int micbias_voltage: mic bias voltage at adc channel when jack is plugged in

Description

Based on the mic bias value passed, this function helps identify the type of jack from the already declared jack zones

int snd_soc_jack_add_pins(struct snd_soc_jack * jack, int count, struct snd_soc_jack_pin * pins)¶: Associate DAPM pins with an ASoC jack

Parameters

struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
int count: Number of pins
struct snd_soc_jack_pin * pins: Array of pins

Description

After this function has been called the DAPM pins specified in the pins array will have their status updated to reflect the current state of the jack whenever the jack status is updated.

void snd_soc_jack_notifier_register(struct snd_soc_jack * jack, struct notifier_block * nb)¶: Register a notifier for jack status

Parameters

struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
struct notifier_block * nb: Notifier block to register

Description

Register for notification of the current status of the jack. Note that it is not possible to report additional jack events in the callback from the notifier, this is intended to support applications such as enabling electrical detection only when a mechanical detection event has occurred.

void snd_soc_jack_notifier_unregister(struct snd_soc_jack * jack, struct notifier_block * nb)¶: Unregister a notifier for jack status

Parameters

struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
struct notifier_block * nb: Notifier block to unregister

Description

Stop notifying for status changes.

Parameters

struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
int count: number of pins
struct snd_soc_jack_gpio * gpios: array of gpio pins

Description

This function will request gpio, set data direction and request irq for each gpio in the array.

int snd_soc_jack_add_gpiods(struct device * gpiod_dev, struct snd_soc_jack * jack, int count, struct snd_soc_jack_gpio * gpios)¶: Associate GPIO descriptor pins with an ASoC jack

Parameters

struct device * gpiod_dev: GPIO consumer device
struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
int count: number of pins
struct snd_soc_jack_gpio * gpios: array of gpio pins

Description

void snd_soc_jack_free_gpios(struct snd_soc_jack * jack, int count, struct snd_soc_jack_gpio * gpios)¶: Release GPIO pins' resources of an ASoC jack

Parameters

struct snd_soc_jack * jack: ASoC jack
int count: number of pins
struct snd_soc_jack_gpio * gpios: array of gpio pins

Description

Release gpio and irq resources for gpio pins associated with an ASoC jack.

ISA DMA Helpers¶

void snd_dma_program(unsigned long dma, unsigned long addr, unsigned int size, unsigned short mode)¶: program an ISA DMA transfer

Parameters

unsigned long dma: the dma number
unsigned long addr: the physical address of the buffer
unsigned int size: the DMA transfer size
unsigned short mode: the DMA transfer mode, DMA_MODE_XXX

Description

Programs an ISA DMA transfer for the given buffer.

void snd_dma_disable(unsigned long dma)¶: stop the ISA DMA transfer

Parameters

unsigned long dma: the dma number

Description

Stops the ISA DMA transfer.

unsigned int snd_dma_pointer(unsigned long dma, unsigned int size)¶: return the current pointer to DMA transfer buffer in bytes

Parameters

unsigned long dma: the dma number
unsigned int size: the dma transfer size

Return

The current pointer in DMA transfer buffer in bytes.

Other Helper Macros¶

void snd_card_unref(struct snd_card * card)¶: Unreference the card object

Parameters

struct snd_card * card: the card object to unreference

Description

Call this function for the card object that was obtained via snd_card_ref() or snd_lookup_minor_data().

snd_printk(fmt, ...)¶: printk wrapper

Parameters

fmt: format string
...: variable arguments

Description

Works like printk() but prints the file and the line of the caller when configured with CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK.

snd_printd(fmt, ...)¶: debug printk

Parameters

fmt: format string
...: variable arguments

Description

Works like snd_printk() for debugging purposes. Ignored when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set.

snd_BUG()¶: give a BUG warning message and stack trace

Parameters

Description

Calls WARN() if CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is set. Ignored when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set.

snd_printd_ratelimit()¶

Parameters

snd_BUG_ON(cond)¶: debugging check macro

Parameters

cond: condition to evaluate
