1744.3 The _cmsg Structure 1754.3 SKBs
176
177CAPI messages are passed between Kernel CAPI and the driver via send_message()
178and capi_ctr_handle_message(), stored in the data portion of a socket buffer
179(skb). Each skb contains a single CAPI message coded according to the CAPI 2.0
180standard.
181
182For the data transfer messages, DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND, the actual
183payload data immediately follows the CAPI message itself within the same skb.
184The Data and Data64 parameters are not used for processing. The Data64
185parameter may be omitted by setting the length field of the CAPI message to 22
186instead of 30.

3297. Debugging
330
331The module kernelcapi has a module parameter showcapimsgs controlling some
332debugging output produced by the module. It can only be set when the module is
333loaded, via a parameter "showcapimsgs=<n>" to the modprobe command, either on
334the command line or in the configuration file.
335
336If the lowest bit of showcapimsgs is set, kernelcapi logs controller and
337application up and down events.
338
339In addition, every registered CAPI controller has an associated traceflag
340parameter controlling how CAPI messages sent from and to tha controller are
341logged. The traceflag parameter is initialized with the value of the
342showcapimsgs parameter when the controller is registered, but can later be
343changed via the MANUFACTURER_REQ command KCAPI_CMD_TRACE.
344
345If the value of traceflag is non-zero, CAPI messages are logged.
346DATA_B3 messages are only logged if the value of traceflag is > 2.
347
348If the lowest bit of traceflag is set, only the command/subcommand and message
349length are logged. Otherwise, kernelcapi logs a readable representation of
350the entire message.
