usb驱动开发19——驱动生命线

现在开始就沿着usb_generic_driver的生命线继续往下走。设备的生命线你可以为是从你的usb设备连接到hub的某个端口时开始，而驱动的生命线就必须得回溯到usb子系统的初始化函数usb_init了：

if (retval)

goto hub_init_failed;

retval = usb_register_device_driver(&usb_generic_driver, THIS_MODULE);

if (!retval)

goto out;

在usb子系统初始化的时候就调用driver.c里的usb_register_device_driver函数将usb_generic_driver注册给系统了，怀胎十月，嗷嗷一声之后，usb世界里的一个超级大美女诞生了。现在先看看带她来到这个世界上的usb_register_device_driver函数：

/**

* usb_register_device_driver - register a USB device (not interface) driver

* @new_udriver: USB operations for the device driver

* @owner: module owner of this driver.

*

* Registers a USB device driver with the USB core. The list of

* unattached devices will be rescanned whenever a new driver is

* added, allowing the new driver to attach to any recognized devices.

* Returns a negative error code on failure and 0 on success.

*/

int usb_register_device_driver(struct usb_device_driver *new_udriver,

struct module *owner)

{
   

int retval = 0;

if (usb_disabled())

return -ENODEV;

new_udriver->drvwrap.for_devices = 1;

new_udriver->drvwrap.driver.name = (char *) new_udriver->name;

new_udriver->drvwrap.driver.bus = &usb_bus_type;

new_udriver->drvwrap.driver.probe = usb_probe_device;

new_udriver->drvwrap.driver.remove = usb_unbind_device;

new_udriver->drvwrap.driver.owner = owner;

retval = driver_register(&new_udriver->drvwrap.driver);

if (!retval) {
   

pr_info("%s: registered new device driver %s\n",

usbcore_name, new_udriver->name);

usbfs_update_special();

} else {
   

printk(KERN_ERR "%s: error %d registering device "

" driver %s\n",

usbcore_name, retval, new_udriver->name);

}

return retval;

}

usb_disabled函数判断一下usb子系统是不是在你启动内核的时候就被禁止了，如果是的话，这个超级大美女的生命也就太短暂了。

看到没，for_devices就是在这儿被初始化为1的，有了它，match里的那个is_usb_device_driver把门儿的才有章可循有凭可依。

下面就是充实了下usb_generic_driver里嵌入的那个struct device_driver结构体，usb_generic_driver就是通过它和设备模型搭上关系的。name就是usb_generic_driver的名字，即usb，所属的总线类型同样被设置为usb_bus_type，然后是指定probe函数和remove函数。

然后调用设备模型的函数driver_register将usb_generic_driver添加到usb总线的那条驱动链表里。
usb_generic_driver和usb设备匹配成功后，就会调用指定的probe函数usb_probe_device()，现在看看driver.c里定义的这个函数：

/* called from driver core with dev locked */

static int usb_probe_device(struct device *dev)

{
   

struct usb_device_driver *udriver = to_usb_device_driver(dev->driver);

struct usb_device *udev;

int error = -ENODEV;

dev_dbg(dev, "%s\n", __FUNCTION__);

if (!is_usb_device(dev
