Many modems implement socket-based APIs to manage data connections.
This layer provides much of the groundwork for keeping track of
these "sockets" throughout their lifecycle (from the initial offload
API calls through the command handler call back layers):
- structure for holding socket data like IP protocol, destination,
source and incoming packet sizes
- configuration to note modem starting socket id and number of
sockets
- methods to get/put socket structs from/to the pool
- function to update the # and size of packets in the modem receive
queue
- prebuilt modem_socket_poll() method for socket offload poll() API
Example modem driver setup code looks like this:
/* socket data */
static struct modem_socket_config socket_config;
static struct modem_socket sockets[MDM_MAX_SOCKETS];
static int modem_init(struct device *dev)
{
...
/* setup socket config */
socket_config.sockets = &sockets[0];
socket_config.sockets_len = ARRAY_SIZE(sockets);
socket_config.base_socket_num = 0;
ret = modem_socket_init(&socket_config);
...
}
