内核文件系统API之get_fs_type

struct file_system_type *get_fs_type(const char *name) 用于查找形参指定的文件系统，并返回file_system_type类型
其中file_system_type的定义如下：
struct file_system_type {
	const char *name;
	int fs_flags;
#define FS_REQUIRES_DEV		1 
#define FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA	2
#define FS_HAS_SUBTYPE		4
#define FS_USERNS_MOUNT		8	/* Can be mounted by userns root */
#define FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE	32768	/* FS will handle d_move() during rename() internally. */
	struct dentry *(*mount) (struct file_system_type *, int,
		       const char *, void *);
	void (*kill_sb) (struct super_block *);
	struct module *owner;
	struct file_system_type * next;
	struct hlist_head fs_supers;

	struct lock_class_key s_lock_key;
	struct lock_class_key s_umount_key;
	struct lock_class_key s_vfs_rename_key;
	struct lock_class_key s_writers_key[SB_FREEZE_LEVELS];

	struct lock_class_key i_lock_key;
	struct lock_class_key i_mutex_key;
	struct lock_class_key i_mutex_dir_key;
};

其源码分析如下：
struct file_system_type *get_fs_type(const char *name)
{
	struct file_system_type *fs;
	#在name中查找点。例如这里的name可以为fs.ext4
	const char *dot = strchr(name, '.');
	#得到长度
	int len = dot ? dot - name : strlen(name);
	#根据name查找文件系统，如果fs 为null，说明这个ko还没有被加载，则通过request_module来加载这个ko
	fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
	if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0)) {
		#成功加载后再查找fs
		fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
		WARN_ONCE(!fs, "request_module fs-%.*s succeeded, but still no fs?\n", len, name);
	}

	if (dot && fs && !(fs->fs_flags & FS_HAS_SUBTYPE)) {
		put_filesystem(fs);
		fs = NULL;
	}
	return fs;
}
其中__get_fs_type中是通过find_filesystem 来查找的，如果查找到了，但是模块没有owner的话，同样返回null
static struct file_system_type *__get_fs_type(const char *name, int len)
{
	struct file_system_type *fs;

	read_lock(&file_systems_lock);
	fs = *(find_filesystem(name, len));
	if (fs && !try_module_get(fs->owner))
		fs = NULL;
	read_unlock(&file_systems_lock);
	return fs;
}
原来find_filesystem 是通过在file_systems这个链表中比对文件系统的name是否相等
static struct file_system_type **find_filesystem(const char *name, unsigned len)
{
	struct file_system_type **p;
	for (p = &file_systems; *p; p = &(*p)->next)
		if (strncmp((*p)->name, name, len) == 0 &&
		    !(*p)->name[len])
			break;
	return p;
}
