inode结构体
inode在linux的源代码中是一个结构体,代表一个文件,包含了文件的元数据,有文件所属用户以及用户组,指向超级块的指针,lru(least recently use)列表,记录了最近被使用的inode节点,用来更新缓存,文件的最终修改、访问时间等等。i_devices是一个链表,指向了不同的磁盘块。address_space是跟内存相关的结构,管理文件在内存中的缓存,实现高效的数据读取与写入。
struct inode {
/* RCU path lookup touches following: */
umode_t i_mode;
uid_t i_uid;
gid_t i_gid;
const struct inode_operations *i_op;
struct super_block *i_sb;

inode_operations
inode中有一个指向inode_operations的指针i_op,inode_operations也是一个结构体,保存很多的操作文件的函数指针。
struct inode_operations {
struct dentry * (*lookup) (struct inode *,struct dentry *, struct nameidata *);
void * (*follow_link) (struct dentry *, struct nameidata *);
int (*permission) (struct inode *, int, unsigned int);
int (*check_acl)(struct inode *, int, unsigned int);
int (*readlink) (struct dentry *, char __user *,int);
void (*put_link) (struct dentry *, struct nameidata *, void *);
int (*create) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,int, struct nameidata *);
int (*link) (struct dentry *,struct inode *,struct dentry *);
int (*unlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
int (*symlink) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,const char *);
int (*mkdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,int);
int (*rmdir) (struct inode *,struct dentry *);
int (*mknod) (struct inode *,struct dentry *,int,dev_t);
int (*rename) (struct inode *, struct dentry *,
struct inode *, struct dentry *);
void (*truncate) (struct inode *);
int (*setattr) (struct dentry *, struct iattr *);
int (*getattr) (struct vfsmount *mnt, struct dentry *, struct kstat *);
int (*setxattr) (struct dentry *, const char *,const void *,size_t,int);
ssize_t (*getxattr) (struct dentry *, const char *, void *, size_t);
ssize_t (*listxattr) (struct dentry *, char *, size_t);
int (*removexattr) (struct dentry *, const char *);
void (*truncate_range)(struct inode *, loff_t, loff_t);
int (*fiemap)(struct inode *, struct fiemap_extent_info *, u64 start,
u64 len);
