SYSFS以及设备文件或kobject目录创建的关系

 

 

 sysfs_create_group()定义的文件 kernel/fs/sysfs/group.c：

 

static int internal_create_group(struct kobject *kobj, int update,
                 const struct attribute_group *grp)
{
    struct sysfs_dirent *sd;
    int error;

    BUG_ON(!kobj || (!update && !kobj->sd));

    /* Updates may happen before the object has been instantiated */
    if (unlikely(update && !kobj->sd))
        return -EINVAL;

    if (grp->name) {
        error = sysfs_create_subdir(kobj, grp->name, &sd);
        if (error)
            return error;
    } else
        sd = kobj->sd;

 sysfs_create_group()定义
 

/**
 * sysfs_create_group - given a directory kobject, create an attribute group
 * @kobj:   The kobject to create the group on
 * @grp:    The attribute group to create
 *
 * This function creates a group for the first time.  It will explicitly
 * warn and error if any of the attribute files being created already exist.
 *
 * Returns 0 on success or error.

 * The *owner field is no longer used.
 * x86 tree has been cleaned up. The owner
 * attribute is still left for other arches.
