linux文件系统源码学习——inode结构体

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;

	spinlock_t		i_lock;	/* i_blocks, i_bytes, maybe i_size */
	unsigned int		i_flags;
	unsigned long		i_state;

#endif
	struct mutex		i_mutex;


	unsigned long		dirtied_when;	/* jiffies of first dirtying */

	struct hlist_node	i_hash;
	struct list_head	i_wb_list;	/* backing dev IO list */
	struct list_head	i_lru;		/* inode LRU list */
	struct list_head	i_sb_list;
	union {
		struct list_head	i_dentry;
		struct rcu_head		i_rcu;
	};
	unsigned long		i_ino;

	};

	__u32			i_generation;

#ifdef CONFIG_FSNOTIFY
	__u32			i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events this inode cares about */

	struct posix_acl	*i_default_acl;
#endif
	void			*i_private; /* fs or device private pointer */
};

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);
