Linux字符驱动中container_of宏的作用
首先看看这个宏的原型:
/**
* container_of - cast a member of a structure out to the containing structure
* @ptr: the pointer to the member.
* @type: the type of the container struct this is embedded in.
* @member: the name of the member within the struct.
*
*/
#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({ \
const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
(type *)( (char *)__mptr - offsetof(type,member) );})
功能:根据一个结构体变量中的一个成员变量的指针来获取指向整个结构体变量的指针。
