Each event is sent in +the following structure (its name is made up, so that we can refer to it): + +struct usbmon_packet { + u64 id; /* 0: URB ID - from submission to callback */ + unsigned char type; /* 8: Same as text; extensible. */ + unsigned char xfer_type; /* ISO (0), Intr, Control, Bulk (3) */ + unsigned char epnum; /* Endpoint number and transfer direction */ + unsigned char devnum; /* Device address */ + u16 busnum; /* 12: Bus number */ + char flag_setup; /* 14: Same as text */ + char flag_data; /* 15: Same as text; Binary zero is OK. */ + s64 ts_sec; /* 16: gettimeofday */ + s32 ts_usec; /* 24: gettimeofday */ + int status; /* 28: */ + unsigned int length; /* 32: Length of data (submitted or actual) */ + unsigned int len_cap; /* 36: Delivered length */ + unsigned char setup[8]; /* 40: Only for Control 'S' */ +}; /* 48 bytes total */ + +These events can be received from a character device by reading with read(2), +with an ioctl(2), or by accessing the buffer with mmap. + +The character device is usually called /dev/usbmonN, where N is the USB bus +number. Number zero (/dev/usbmon0) is special and means "all buses". +However, this feature is not implemented yet. Note that specific naming +policy is set by your Linux distribution. + +If you create /dev/usbmon0 by hand, make sure that it is owned by root +and has mode 0600. Otherwise, unpriviledged users will be able to snoop +keyboard traffic. + +The following ioctl calls are available, with MON_IOC_MAGIC 0x92: + + MON_IOCQ_URB_LEN, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 1) + +This call returns the length of data in the next event. Note that majority of +events contain no data, so if this call returns zero, it does not mean that +no events are available. + + MON_IOCG_STATS, defined as _IOR(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 3, struct mon_bin_stats) + +The argument is a pointer to the following structure: + +struct mon_bin_stats { + u32 queued; + u32 dropped; +}; + +The member "queued" refers to the number of events currently queued in the +buffer (and not to the number of events processed since the last reset). + +The member "dropped" is the number of events lost since the last call +to MON_IOCG_STATS. + + MON_IOCT_RING_SIZE, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 4) + +This call sets the buffer size. The argument is the size in bytes. +The size may be rounded down to the next chunk (or page). If the requested +size is out of [unspecified] bounds for this kernel, the call fails with +-EINVAL. + + MON_IOCQ_RING_SIZE, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 5) + +This call returns the current size of the buffer in bytes. + + MON_IOCX_GET, defined as _IOW(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 6, struct mon_get_arg) + +This call waits for events to arrive if none were in the kernel buffer, +then returns the first event. Its argument is a pointer to the following +structure: + +struct mon_get_arg { + struct usbmon_packet *hdr; + void *data; + size_t alloc; /* Length of data (can be zero) */ +}; + +Before the call, hdr, data, and alloc should be filled. Upon return, the area +pointed by hdr contains the next event structure, and the data buffer contains +the data, if any. The event is removed from the kernel buffer. + + MON_IOCX_MFETCH, defined as _IOWR(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 7, struct mon_mfetch_arg) + +This ioctl is primarily used when the application accesses the buffer +with mmap(2). Its argument is a pointer to the following structure: + +struct mon_mfetch_arg { + uint32_t *offvec; /* Vector of events fetched */ + uint32_t nfetch; /* Number of events to fetch (out: fetched) */ + uint32_t nflush; /* Number of events to flush */ +}; + +The ioctl operates in 3 stages. + +First, it removes and discards up to nflush events from the kernel buffer. +The actual number of events discarded is returned in nflush. + +Second, it waits for an event to be present in the buffer, unless the pseudo- +device is open with O_NONBLOCK. + +Third, it extracts up to nfetch offsets into the mmap buffer, and stores +them into the offvec. The actual number of event offsets is stored into +the nfetch. + + MON_IOCH_MFLUSH, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 8) + +This call removes a number of events from the kernel buffer. Its argument +is the number of events to remove. If the buffer contains fewer events +than requested, all events present are removed, and no error is reported. +This works when no events are available too. + + FIONBIO + +The ioctl FIONBIO may be implemented in the future, if there's a need. + +In addition to ioctl(2) and read(2), the special file of binary API can +be polled with select(2) and poll(2). But lseek(2) does not work. + +* Memory-mapped access of the kernel buffer for the binary API + +The basic idea is simple: + +To prepare, map the buffer by getting the current size, then using mmap(2). +Then, execute a loop similar to the one written in pseudo-code below: + + struct mon_mfetch_arg fetch; + struct usbmon_packet *hdr; + int nflush = 0; + for (;;) { + fetch.offvec = vec; // Has N 32-bit words + fetch.nfetch = N; // Or less than N + fetch.nflush = nflush; + ioctl(fd, MON_IOCX_MFETCH, &fetch); // Process errors, too + nflush = fetch.nfetch; // This many packets to flush when done + for (i = 0; i < nflush; i++) { + hdr = (struct ubsmon_packet *) &mmap_area[vec[i]]; + if (hdr->type == '@') // Filler packet + continue; + caddr_t data = &mmap_area[vec[i]] + 64; + process_packet(hdr, data); + } + } + +Thus, the main idea is to execute only one ioctl per N events. + +Although the buffer is circular, the returned headers and data do not cross +the end of the buffer, so the above pseudo-code does not need any gathering. |
