图解Linux内核链表
介绍
本篇重点解析Linux内核源码中链表这一数据结构,值得注意的是,内核中的链表不是将数据内嵌到链表中,而是把链表内嵌到数据对象中。
本文将以图解的方式剖析这一经典的数据结构。
说明
由于linux/list.h较长,时间原因,本篇无法一次性写完,望各位理解,本篇将持续更新,如有问题,欢迎评论区批评指出。
函数内核源码及图解
list_head定义及初始化
/*
* Simple doubly linked list implementation.
*
* Some of the internal functions ("__xxx") are useful when
* manipulating whole lists rather than single entries, as
* sometimes we already know the next/prev entries and we can
* generate better code by using them directly rather than
* using the generic single-entry routines.
*/
#define LIST_HEAD_INIT(name) { &(name), &(name) }
#define LIST_HEAD(name) \
struct list_head name = LIST_HEAD_INIT(name)
static inline void INIT_LIST_HEAD(struct list_head *list)
{
list->next = list;
list->prev = list;
}
通过一系列宏函数来进行结构体的定义,由于是双向链表,包含前向指针和后向指针,但是无数据域,可以很方便的把链表内嵌到数据对象中。
LIST_HEAD(name)包含创建和初始化的过程,而INIT_LIST_HEAD仅做初始化,所谓初始化,就是将该结点的前向指针和后向指针都指向自己。
如下如所示:
list_del:
/**
* list_del - deletes entry from list.
* @entry: the element to delete from the list.
* Note: list_empty() on entry does not return true after this, the entry is
* in an undefined state.
*/
#ifndef CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST
static inline void __list_del_entry(struct list_head *entry)
{
__list_del(entry->prev, entry->next);
}
static inline void list_del(struct list_head *entry)
{
__list_del(entry->prev, entry->next);
entry->next = LIST_POISON1;
entry->prev = LIST_POISON2;
}
#else
extern void __list_del_entry(struct list_head *entry);
extern void list_del(struct list_head *entry);
#endif
list_del_init:
/**
* list_del_init - deletes entry from list and reinitialize it.
* @entry: the element to delete from the list.
*/
static inline void list_del_init(struct list_head *entry)
{
__list_del_entry(entry);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(entry);
}
list_replace:
/**
* list_replace - replace old entry by new one
* @old : the element to be replaced
* @new : the new element to insert
*
* If @old was empty, it will be overwritten.
*/
static inline void list_replace(struct list_head *old,
struct list_head *new)
{
new->next = old->next;
new->next->prev = new;
new->prev = old->prev;
new->prev->next = new;
}
list_replace_init:
static inline void list_replace_init(struct list_head *old,
struct list_head *new)
{
list_replace(old, new);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(old);
}
list_move:
/**
* list_move - delete from one list and add as another's head
* @list: the entry to move
* @head: the head that will precede our entry
*/
static inline void list_move(struct list_head *list, struct list_head *head)
{
__list_del_entry(list);
list_add(list, head);
}
list_move_tail:
/**
* list_move_tail - delete from one list and add as another's tail
* @list: the entry to move
* @head: the head that will follow our entry
*/
static inline void list_move_tail(struct list_head *list,
struct list_head *head)
{
__list_del_entry(list);
list_add_tail(list, head);
}
list_is_last
/**
* list_is_last - tests whether @list is the last entry in list @head
* @list: the entry to test
* @head: the head of the list
*/
static inline int list_is_last(const struct list_head *list,
const struct list_head *head)
{
return list->next == head;
}
list_empty:
/**
* list_empty - tests whether a list is empty
* @head: the list to test.
*/
static inline int list_empty(const struct list_head *head)
{
return head->next == head;
}
list_empty_careful:
/**
* list_empty_careful - tests whether a list is empty and not being modified
* @head: the list to test
*
* Description:
* tests whether a list is empty _and_ checks that no other CPU might be
* in the process of modifying either member (next or prev)
*
* NOTE: using list_empty_careful() without synchronization
* can only be safe if the only activity that can happen
* to the list entry is list_del_init(). Eg. it cannot be used
* if another CPU could re-list_add() it.
*/
static inline int list_empty_careful(const struct list_head *head)
{
struct list_head *next = head->next;
return (next == head) && (next == head->prev);
}
先copy一下当前的head->next,这样既能发现当前的head->next的指向,又不影响别的CPU对其进行更改,然后对copy下来的next进行一系列的判断 :(next == head) && (next == head->prev);
注意:只有在列表条目上发生的唯一活动是list_del_init()时,使用list_empty_careful()而不进行同步才安全。如果另一个CPU可以重新list_add()它,则不能使用它,需要加锁同步。
list_rotate_left:
/**
* list_rotate_left - rotate the list to the left
* @head: the head of the list
*/
static inline void list_rotate_left(struct list_head *head)
{
struct list_head *first;
if (!list_empty(head)) {
first = head->next;
list_move_tail(first, head);
}
}
该函数将头节点右侧的第一个结点搬移到头结点的左侧,其它的结点顺序后移。
list_is_singular:
/**
* list_is_singular - tests whether a list has just one entry.
* @head: the list to test.
*/
static inline int list_is_singular(const struct list_head *head)
{
return !list_empty(head) && (head->next == head->prev);
}
/**
* list_cut_position - cut a list into two
* @list: a new list to add all removed entries
* @head: a list with entries
* @entry: an entry within head, could be the head itself
* and if so we won't cut the list(head中的一个条目,可以是head本身,如果是这样,我们就不会删除列表)
* This helper moves the initial part of @head, up to and
* including @entry, from @head to @list. You should
* pass on @entry an element you know is on @head. @list
* should be an empty list or a list you do not care about
* losing its data.
*/
static inline void list_cut_position(struct list_head *list,
struct list_head *head, struct list_head *entry)
{
if (list_empty(head))
return;
if (list_is_singular(head) &&
(head->next != entry && head != entry))
return;
if (entry == head)
INIT_LIST_HEAD(list);
else
__list_cut_position(list, head, entry);
}
static inline void __list_splice(const struct list_head *list,
struct list_head *prev,
struct list_head *next)
{
struct list_head *first = list->next;
struct list_head *last = list->prev;
first->prev = prev;
prev->next = first;
last->next = next;
next->prev = last;
}
这个函数将一个链表切成两个,连接head和entry形成一个cutline,从head的下一个开始直到包含entry为止,将list作为拆分出来的那一部分的表头。
- 您应该向entry这个形参传递一个您已知的位于head上的元素。
- 因为最终list会成为拆分出来的那一部分的表头,所以list应该是一个空的list或者是一个您不关心数据是否丢失的结点。
list_splice:
/**
* list_splice - join two lists, this is designed for stacks
* @list: the new list to add.
* @head: the place to add it in the first list.
