Subject: Re: [mISDN PATCH v2 09/19] Fix TEI and SAPI handling

Hi Karsten.

Flash from the past looking at some ISDN layer2.
Some comments below.

Unrealted to this specific patch...
Are there any specific reason why mISDN prefer bsd style (u_int)
rather then linux style (u32)?

Here tei and sapi are passed as signed.
But valid sapi range is [0..63] and tei [0..127].
And create_l2 above uses unsigned.

This looks confusing.

You should check EA0 here before assuming that any values except
EA=1, tei=127 equals ptmp.

So get_free_tei() may return a negative value indicating no free tei.
So that make my comment above void - but is this really the best way
to return an error. Possibly it is..

In general I would prefer to read: SAPI_CALLCONTROL rahter than a hardcoded 0.

PReviously there was an implicit check of EA0.
This is missed not that you read sapi and discard the two lower bits.

I also wonder if you remeber to check the command/response bit.
That was implicitly tested to be 0 before and also ignored now.

This looks like a bug-fix...
