【随笔】几个VFS系统调用

一、mount

mount的文件系统在内核面会组织成一颗mount树，根节点是root filesystem的struct mount。

（注：图来自《趣谈Linux操作系统》）

struct mount {
	struct hlist_node mnt_hash;
	struct mount *mnt_parent;
	struct dentry *mnt_mountpoint;
	struct vfsmount mnt;
	union {
		struct rcu_head mnt_rcu;
		struct llist_node mnt_llist;
	};
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
	struct mnt_pcp __percpu *mnt_pcp;
#else
	int mnt_count;
	int mnt_writers;
#endif
	struct list_head mnt_mounts;	/* list of children, anchored here */
	struct list_head mnt_child;	/* and going through their mnt_child */
	struct list_head mnt_instance;	/* mount instance on sb->s_mounts */
	const char *mnt_devname;	/* Name of device e.g. /dev/dsk/hda1 */
	struct list_head mnt_list;
	struct list_head mnt_expire;	/* link in fs-specific expiry list */
	struct list_head mnt_share;	/* circular list of shared mounts */
	struct list_head mnt_slave_list;/* list of slave mounts */
	struct list_head mnt_slave;	/* slave list entry */
	struct mount *mnt_master;	/* slave is on master->mnt_slave_list */
	struct mnt_namespace *mnt_ns;	/* containing namespace */
	struct mountpoint *mnt_mp;	/* where is it mounted */
	union {
		struct hlist_node mnt_mp_list;	/* list mounts with the same mountpoint */
		struct hlist_node mnt_umount;
	};
	struct list_head mnt_umounting; /* list entry for umount propagation */
#ifdef CONFIG_FSNOTIFY
	struct fsnotify_mark_connector __rcu *mnt_fsnotify_marks;
	__u32 mnt_fsnotify_mask;
#endif
	int mnt_id;			/* mount identifier */
	int mnt_group_id;		/* peer group identifier */
	int mnt_expiry_mark;		/* true if marked for expiry */
	struct hlist_head mnt_pins;
	struct hlist_head mnt_stuck_children;
} __randomize_layout;

struct vfsmount {
	struct dentry *mnt_root;	/* root of the mounted tree */
	struct super_block *mnt_sb;	/* pointer to superblock */
	int mnt_flags;
} __randomize_layout;

 

二、open

方法调用栈：

1. do_sys_open
   1. get_unused_fd_flags：拿fd
   2. do_filp_open：查找文件
      1. set_nameidata：创建nameidata
      2. path_openat：开始路径查找
         1. get_empty_filp：创建一个空的file
         2. path_init：初始化nameidata
         3. link_path_walk：一个大循环对路径名逐层查找
         4. do_last：拿到inode并初始化file
            1. lookup_fast：先找dentry cache
            2. lookup_open：到文件系统中去找
            3. vfs_open：真正的打开文件，然后将打开的文件信息填写到file
   3. fd_install：查找成功，将fd放入文件，然后系统调用返回

文字版描述：

1. 会先去拿fd，拿不到就报too many open filse的错；
2. 查找文件；
   1. 创建st
