Linux+page+cache+里的几个函数的源码分析

page cache在linuxvfs 中是比较重要的一层，其功能就不详细介绍了。主要介绍了几个关键性函数，容易帮助了解page cache里的整体逻辑和流程

先看一下page 的结构体

/* * Each physical page in the system has a struct page associated with * it to keep track of whatever it is we are using the page for at the * moment. Note that we have no way to track which tasks are using * a page. */ struct page { unsigned long flags; /* Atomic flags, some possibly * updated asynchronously */ atomic_t _count; /* Usage count, see below. */ atomic_t _mapcount; /* Count of ptes mapped in mms, * to show when page is mapped * & limit reverse map searches. */ union { struct { unsigned long private; /* Mapping-private opaque data: * usually used for buffer_heads * if PagePrivate set; used for * swp_entry_t if PageSwapCache; * indicates order in the buddy * system if PG_buddy is set. */ struct address_space *mapping; /* If low bit clear, points to * inode address_space, or NULL. * If page mapped as anonymous * memory, low bit is set, and * it points to anon_vma object: * see PAGE_MAPPING_ANON below. */ }; #if NR_CPUS >= CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS spinlock_t ptl; #endif }; pgoff_t index; /* Our offset within mapping. */ struct list_head lru; /* Pageout list, eg. active_list * protected by zone->lru_lock ! */ /* * On machines where all RAM is mapped into kernel address space, * we can simply calculate the virtual address. On machines with * highmem some memory is mapped into kernel virtual memory * dynamically, so we need a place to store that address. * Note that this field could be 16 bits on x86 ... ;) * * Architectures with slow multiplication can define * WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL in asm/page.h */ #if defined(WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL) void *virtual; /* Kernel virtual address (NULL if not kmapped, ie. highmem) */ #endif /* WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL */ };

page_cache_get() 主要是调用函数get_page

static inline void get_page(struct page *page) { if (unlikely(PageCompound(page))) page = (struct page *)page_private(page); atomic_inc(&page->_count); }

主要page里的计数器+1，表示page引用的reference 次数

page_cache_release() 的核心函数 put_page_testzero

static inline int put_page_testzero(struct page *page) { BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) == 0); return atomic_dec_and_test(&page->_count); }

显然是page的计数器-1, page的引用被释放

page 的flags 参数， 在page 的结构体里定义了flags参数，用bit位来标识page的状态，定义在page-flags.h文件里

这是在32位机 和 64位 系统的关于flags 定义

32 bit -------------------------------| FIELDS | FLAGS |
64 bit | FIELDS | ?????? FLAGS |
63 32 0

从bit0-bit19是常用的，其他位保留给了mapping zone, node and SPARSEMEM

#define PG_locked 0 /* Page is locked. Don't touch. */ #define PG_error 1 #define PG_referenced 2 #define PG_uptodate 3 #define PG_dirty 4 #define PG_lru 5 #define PG_active 6 #define PG_slab 7 /* slab debug (Suparna wants this) */ #define PG_checked 8 /* kill me in 2.5.<early>. */ #define PG_arch_1 9 #define PG_reserved 10 #define PG_private 11 /* Has something at ->private */ #define PG_writeback 12 /* Page is under writeback */ #define PG_nosave 13 /* Used for system suspend/resume */ #define PG_compound 14 /* Part of a compound page */ #define PG_swapcache 15 /* Swap page: swp_entry_t in private */ #define PG_mappedtodisk 16 /* Has blocks allocated on-disk */ #define PG_reclaim 17 /* To be reclaimed asap */ #define PG_nosave_free 18 /* Free, should not be written */ #define PG_buddy 19 /* Page is free, on buddy lists */

SetPageUptodate 原子设置bit PG_uptodate 状态为1，表示改页被更新

#define SetPageUptodate(page)set_bit(PG_uptodate, &(page)->flags)

ClearPageUptodate 原子设置bit PG_uptodate 状态为0，表示页没有被更新

#define ClearPageUptodate(page)clear_bit(PG_uptodate, &(page)->flags)

TestSetPageLocked 设置原子设置page locked状态，并返回改变前的原来状态

#define TestSetPageLocked(page) \ test_and_set_bit(PG_locked, &(page)->flags)

__lock_page 函数

void fastcall __lock_page(struct page *page) { DEFINE_WAIT_BIT(wait, &page->flags, PG_locked); __wait_on_bit_lock(page_waitqueue(page), &wait, sync_page, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(__lock_page);

将当前进程设置成Task_uninterruptible状态，并将进程挂载到 wait对队列中，如果PG_Locked的状态为1时，触发sync_page的方法，只有在sync_page方法中才会调用schedule()调度当前进程，直到PG_locked的状态为0，注意当执行完__wait_on_bit_lock 的时候PG_locked仍然是1，因为__wait_on_bit_lock是用test_and_set_bit来进行while条件判断的,最后将进程设置成TASK_RUNNING 状态，把该进程从wait 队列中移除。

unlock_page 函数

void fastcall unlock_page(struct page *page) { smp_mb__before_clear_bit(); if (!TestClearPageLocked(page)) BUG(); smp_mb__after_clear_bit(); wake_up_page(page, PG_locked); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(unlock_page);

设置PG_Locked 的状态是0，遍历等待队列，执行唤醒函数

static void __wake_up_common(wait_queue_head_t *q, unsigned int mode, int nr_exclusive, int sync, void *key) { struct list_head *tmp, *next; list_for_each_safe(tmp, next, &q->task_list) { wait_queue_t *curr = list_entry(tmp, wait_queue_t, task_list); unsigned flags = curr->flags; if (curr->func(curr, mode, sync, key) && (flags & WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE) && !--nr_exclusive) break; } }

其中func的定义是

.func = autoremove_wake_function,

在autoremove_wake_function里，调用sched.c 的default_wake_function -> try_to_wake_up

将等待队列里的线程状态置为 TASK_RUNNING 并放置到运行队列中去
