说明:本文基于Android2.3和Linux2.6,其余版本仅供参考。
Android2.3及Linux2.6.29内核模拟器版本编译与调试
一、devfs、udev和sysfs是什么关系?
linux2.6之前使用devfs设备文件系统,它存在与内核空间;
linux2.6之后使用udev设备文件系统,它存在与用户空间、但严重依赖与sysfs文件系统。
二、Android(使用linux2.6以后的设备节点创建策略)设备节点的创建
在Android中,没有独立的类似于udev或者mdev的用户程序,这个功能集成到了init中做了。代码见:system/core/init/init.c文件,如下:
if (ufds[0].revents == POLLIN)
handle_device_fd(device_fd);
其中handle_device_fd(device_fd)函数在system/core/init/devices.c中实现,参数device_fd 由函数device_init()->open_uevent_socket()->socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT)函数调用返回。
函数handle_device_fd(device_fd)中,根据传进来的device_fd参数,调用recv(fd, msg, UEVENT_MSG_LEN, 0)函数,将内核探测到的设备并通过NETLINK机制传过来的socket描述符转化成消息。接着调用parse_event(msg, &uevent);函数将消息翻译成uevent事件,并将改事件传递给handle_device_event(&uevent)函数。
handle_device_event(&uevent)函数中,依据参数uevent->subsystem类型创建dev下的相应目录,如:/dev/graphics。紧接着根据uevent->action是"add"还是"remove"来实现设备节点的创建与删除。如果uevent->action是"add",则调用make_device(devpath, block, uevent->major, uevent->minor)函数生成设备节点。如果uevent->action是"remove",则调用unlink(devpath)对设备节点进行删除。
三、下边看看Android的ueventd进程
说明:其配置文件uevent.rc不起实际作用,只是对创建的设备节点文件属性做设置。
1.system/core/init/ueventd.c
int ueventd_main(int argc, char **argv){
device_init();
/*

void device_init(void){
device_fd = uevent_open_socket(64*1024, true);
coldboot("/sys/class");
coldboot("/sys/block");
coldboot("/sys/devices");
}
*/
ufd.events = POLLIN;
ufd.fd = get_device_fd();
while(1) {
ufd.revents = 0;
nr = poll(&ufd, 1, -1);
if (nr <= 0)
continue;
if (ufd.revents == POLLIN)
handle_device_fd();
}
}
2.system/core/init/device.c
注意:只有主次设备号的事件才会创建设备节点
