2007年过去了,这一年里明星们一如既往,大牌们继续做领军人物,而希望上位的小辈也使尽手段.该恋爱的恋爱,该炒作的炒作,该整容的整容.功成名就的就做慈善,有待提高的就造绯闻.而我该做的,是继续写我的blog,继续说Linux那些鸟事儿,继续说那些无聊的函数,在说完了sd_probe之后,我们要接触一些新的函数了,首先推出的是ioctl,具体到sd模块中就是sd_ioctl.
当我们向scsi磁盘发送命令的时候,这个函数多半会被调用.现在让我们用kdb来演示一下:先在kdb中设置断点,sd_ioctl,
Entering kdb (current=0xffff81022adcf140, pid 4074) on processor 6 due to KDB_ENTER()
[6]kdb> bp sd_ioctl

然后执行一个scsi命令,比如INQUIRY命令.
[root@lfg2 tedkdb]# sg_inq /dev/sdg
不用说,电光火石之间kdb提示符就打印了出来,

实际上走的路径是一个系统调用ioctl,或者说从sys_ioctl进来的,最终走到了sd_ioctl.
关于sd_ioctl,来自drivers/scsi/sd.c:

647 * Often contains a pointer.
648 *
649 * Returns 0 if successful (some ioctls return postive numbers on

通过kdb的跟踪,你会发现传递进来的是cmd是SG_IO.换言之,switch-case这一大段最终会定格在560行这个SG_IO里.那么这里涉及到一个结构体就很重要了,来自include/scsi/sg.h中的sg_io_hdr.

这其中,cmdp指针指向的不是别人,正是命令本身也.
有过Linux下编程经验的人一定不会对copy_from_user和copy_to_user这两个骨灰级的函数陌生吧,内核空间和用户空间传递数据的两个经典函数,更远咱就不说了,当年2.4内核那会儿课堂上老师让写一个简单的字符驱动的时候就用上这两个函数了.而这里具体来说,先是把arg里的玩意儿copy到hdr中,然后调用sg_io完成实质性的工作,然后再把hdr里的内容copy回到arg中.

不难看出这里hdr实际上扮演了两个角色,一个是输入,一个是输出.而我们为了得到信息所采取的手段依然是blk_execute_rq,即仍然是以提交request的方式,在blk_execute_rq之后,实际上信息已经保存到了rq的各个成员里边,而这之后的代码就是把信息从rq的成员中转移到hdr的成员中.这种情况就好比,我去翠宫饭店游泳,我花900块钱办了一张游泳卡,半年有效期的那种,总共可以游30次,于是每次我去游泳就得凭这张卡进入,等我出来的时候,工作人员会把卡还给我,而卡上有30个格子,每有一次工作人员会划掉一格.于是hdr这个变量的作用就相当于我这张卡,进来出去都要和它打交道,并且进来出去时的状态是不一样的.
那么基本上这个函数在做什么我们是很清楚了的,我们再来关注一些细节.首先结合struct sg_io_hdr这个伟大的结构体来看代码.
interface_id,必须得是大”S”.表示Scsi Generic.从历史渊源来说表征当年那个叫做sg的模块.而与之对应的是另一个叫做pg的模块(parallel port generic driver,并行端口通用驱动),也会有interface_id这么一个变量,它的这个变量则被设置为”P”.
dxfer_direction,这个就表示数据传输方向.比如对于写命令这个变量可以取值为SG_DXFER_TO_DEV,对于读命令这个变量可以取值为SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV.
cmd_len就不用说了,表征该scsi命令的长度.它必须小于等于16.因为scsi命令最多就是16个字节.这就是为什么237行判断是否大于16.(BLK_MAX_CDB被定义为16.)
dxfer_len就是数据传输阶段到底会传输多少字节.max_hw_sectors表示单个request最大能传输多少个sectors,这个是硬件限制.一个sector是512个字节,所以244行要左移9位,即乘上512.
259行,blk_get_request基本上可以理解为申请一个struct request结构体.
然后268行,把cmd复制给rq->cmd.而cmd只是刚才239行从hdr->cmdp中copy过来的.
需要注意的是274行这里设置了rq->cmd_type是REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC,block那边会按不同的命令类型进行不同的处理.
283行,iovec_count,它和dxferp是分不开的.如果iovec_count为0,dxferp表示用户空间内存地址,如果iovec_count大于0,那么dxferp实际指向了一个scatter-gather数组,这个数组中的每一个成员是一个sg_iovec_t结构体变量.struct sg_iovec定义于include/scsi/sg.h:
76 typedef struct sg_iovec /* same structure as used by readv() Linux system */
77 { /* call. It defines one scatter-gather element. */
78 void __user *iov_base; /* Starting address */
79 size_t iov_len; /* Length in bytes */
80 } sg_iovec_t;
而blk_rq_map_user和blk_rq_map_user_iov的作用是一样的,建立用户数据和request之间的映射.如今几乎每个人都听说过Linux中所谓的零拷贝特性,而传说中神奇的零拷贝这一刻离我们竟是如此之近.调用这两个函数的目的就是为了使用零拷贝技术.零拷贝的作用自不必说,改善性能,提高效率,这与十七大倡导的科学发展观是吻合的.然而,这其中涉及的这潭水未免太深了,我们就不去掺合了.
在执行完blk_execute_rq之后就简单了.
resid表示还剩下多少字节没有传输.
duration表示从scsi命令被发送到完成之间的时间,单位是毫秒.
sbp指向用于写Scsi sense buffer的user memory.
sb_len_wr表示实际写了多少个bytes到sbp指向的user memory中.命令如果成功了基本上就不会写sense buffer,这样的话sb_len_wr就是0.
mx_sb_len则表征能往sbp中写的最大的size.人民大学东门外办假学生证的哥们儿都知道,sb_len_wr<=mx_sb_len.
那么最后,我们实际上就可以大致了解了从应用层来讲是如何给scsi设备发送命令的.sg_inq实际上触发的是ioctl的系统调用,经过几次辗转反侧,最终sd_ioctl会被调用.而sd_ioctl会调用scsi核心层提供的函数,sg_io,最终走的路线依然是blk_execute_rq,而关于这个函数最终如何与usb-storage牵上手的,我们在block层那边对scsi命令进行分析时已经详细的介绍过了.
