<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/dvb-core</emphasis>.

<section id="demux_api">
<title>Demux API</title>
<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
&#8220;function not available&#8221;.
</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 runs a descrambling algorithm on the payload of a DVB

 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 &#8220;plug-in&#8221; 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 &#8220;bottom half&#8221; mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback
function call directly from a hardware interrupt.

 align="char">
<para>Any TS packets that match the filter settings are copied to a circular buffer. The
 filtered TS packets are delivered to the client using this callback function. The
 size of the circular buffer is controlled by the circular_buffer_size parameter
 of the set() function in the TS Feed API. It is expected that the buffer1 and
 buffer2 callback parameters point to addresses within the circular buffer, but
 other implementations are also possible. Note that the called party should not
 try to free the memory the buffer1 and buffer2 parameters point to.</para>

<para>When this function is called, the buffer1 parameter typically points to the
 start of the first undelivered TS packet within a circular buffer. The buffer2
 buffer parameter is normally NULL, except when the received TS packets have
 crossed the last address of the circular buffer and &#8221;wrapped&#8221; to the beginning
 of the buffer. In the latter case the buffer1 parameter would contain an address
 within the circular buffer, while the buffer2 parameter would contain the first
 address of the circular buffer.</para>

<para>The number of bytes delivered with this function (i.e. buffer1_length +
 buffer2_length) is usually equal to the value of callback_length parameter
 given in the set() function, with one exception: if a timeout occurs before
 receiving callback_length bytes of TS data, any undelivered packets are
 immediately delivered to the client by calling this function. The timeout
 duration is controlled by the set() function in the TS Feed API.</para>

<para>If a TS packet is received with errors that could not be fixed by the TS-level
 forward error correction (FEC), the Transport_error_indicator flag of the TS
 packet header should be set. The TS packet should not be discarded, as
 the error can possibly be corrected by a higher layer protocol. If the called
 party is slow in processing the callback, it is possible that the circular buffer
 eventually fills up. If this happens, the demux driver should discard any TS
 packets received while the buffer is full. The error should be indicated to the
 client on the next callback by setting the success parameter to the value of
 DMX_OVERRUN_ERROR.</para>

 include file ost/demux.h) The type parameter decides if the raw TS packet
 (TS_PACKET) or just the payload (TS_PACKET&#8212;TS_PAYLOAD_ONLY)
 should be returned. If additionally the TS_DECODER bit is set the stream
 will also be sent to the hardware MPEG decoder. In this case, the second

 possible choices are one of DMX_TS_PES_AUDIO, DMX_TS_PES_VIDEO,
 DMX_TS_PES_TELETEXT, DMX_TS_PES_SUBTITLE,
 DMX_TS_PES_PCR, or DMX_TS_PES_OTHER.</para>
