Kobject源码分析

 

kobject：最小的device module unit,内嵌在kernel的device资源结构中，例如 character device(cdev), block device(blkdev)。这些资料结构中都会内嵌一个kobject。

struct kobject {
const char		*name;
/*该Kobject的名称，同时也是sysfs中的目录名称。由于Kobject添加到Kernel时，需要根据名字注册到sysfs中，之后就不能再直接修改该字段。如果需要修改Kobject的名字，需要调用kobject_rename接口，该接口会主动处理sysfs的相关事宜。*/

struct list_head	entry;
//用于将Kobject加入到Kset中的list_head

struct kobject		*parent;
//指向parent kobject，以此形成层次结构（在sysfs就表现为目录结构）

struct kset		*kset;
//该kobject属于的Kset。可以为NULL。如果存在，且没有指定parent，则会把Kset作为parent（Kset是一个特殊的Kobject），kset较kobj_type优先级高

struct kobj_type	*ktype;
//该Kobject属于的kobj_type。每个Kobject必须有一个ktype，或者Kernel会提示错误

struct sysfs_dirent	*sd;//该Kobject在sysfs中的表示
struct kref		kref;
//"struct kref”类型（在include/linux/kref.h中定义）的变量，为一个可用于原子操作的引用计数

unsigned int state_initialized:1;
//指示该Kobject是否已经初始化，以在Kobject的Init，Put，Add等操作时进行异常校验

unsigned int state_in_sysfs:1;
//指示该Kobject是否已在sysfs中呈现，以便在自动注销时从sysfs中移除
	
unsigned int state_add_uevent_sent:1;
//记录是否已经向用户空间发送ADD uevent，如果有，且没有发送remove uevent，则在自动注销时，补发REMOVE uevent，以便让用户空间正确处理
	
unsigned int state_remove_uevent_sent:1;//
   unsigned int uevent_suppress:1;
    //如果该字段为1，则表示忽略所有上报的uevent事件
};

ktype:kobject的集合，偏向kobject的操作集合，负责管理kobjects的operation。kobject会利用它辨识自己属于哪一个类型，然后在/sys下建立正确的目录位置。

struct kobj_type {
void (*release)(struct kobject *kobj);
//通过该回调函数，可以将包含该种类型kobject的数据结构的内存空间释放掉
struct sysfs_ops *sysfs_ops;
//该种类型的Kobject的sysfs文件系统接口
struct attribute **default_attrs;
//该种类型的Kobject的atrribute列表（所谓attribute，就是sysfs文件系统中的文件）。将会在Kobject添加到内核时，一并注册到sysfs中。
};

kset:kobject的集合，建立上层（sub-system）和下层（kobject）的关联性，kobject会利用它辨识自己属于哪一个类型，然后再/sys下建立正确的目录位置。kset的优先级比较高，kobject会利用自己的kset找到自己所属的kset,并把*ktype制定成该kset下的ktype.

struct kset {
struct list_head list;//用于保存该kset下所有的kobject的链表
spinlock_t list_lock;
struct kobject kobj;
//该kset自己的kobject（kset是一个特殊的kobject，也会在sysfs中以目录的形式体现）

struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops;
//该kset的uevent操作函数集。当任何Kobject需要上报uevent时，都要调用它所从属的kset的uevent_ops，添加环境变量，或者过滤event（kset可以决定哪些event可以上报）。因此，如果一个kobject不属于任何kset时，是不允许发送uevent的
};

subsystem:管理kset的集合

attribute:建立了kobject并成功之后，该kobj对应的目录需要使用attribute产生资料数据，其机构如下：

struct attribute {
char *name; 
struct module *owner; // THIS_MODULE
mode_t mode; //permission, "S_IRUGO" or "S_IWUSR" or "0660"
};
