内核设备驱动API之cdev_add

int cdev_add(struct cdev *p, dev_t dev, unsigned count)用于添加一个字符设备到系统
其使用的例程如下：
	err = cdev_add(cdev, MKDEV(cd->major, baseminor), count);
	if (err)
		goto out;
其源码分析如下：
int cdev_add(struct cdev *p, dev_t dev, unsigned count)
{
	int error;
	#给cdev 赋值
	p->dev = dev;
	p->count = count;
	将p 添加到cdev_map中，也就是添加到系统中
	error = kobj_map(cdev_map, dev, count, NULL,
			 exact_match, exact_lock, p);
	if (error)
		return error;

	kobject_get(p->kobj.parent);

	return 0;
}
int kobj_map(struct kobj_map *domain, dev_t dev, unsigned long range,
	     struct module *module, kobj_probe_t *probe,
	     int (*lock)(dev_t, void *), void *data)
{
	#检测添加major number的范围
	unsigned n = MAJOR(dev + range - 1) - MAJOR(dev) + 1;
	unsigned index = MAJOR(dev);
	unsigned i;
	struct probe *p;
	#要添加的设备不能超过255
	if (n > 255)
		n = 255;
	#申请probe 结构体
	p = kmalloc_array(n, sizeof(struct probe), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (p == NULL)
		return -ENOMEM;
	#给probe结构体赋值
	for (i = 0; i < n; i++, p++) {
		p->owner = module;
		p->get = probe;
		p->lock = lock;
		p->dev = dev;
		p->range = range;
		p->data = data;
	}
	mutex_lock(domain->lock);
	#将p 表示的probe插入到domian中，这里是根据range 来决定插入的位置的
	for (i = 0, p -= n; i < n; i++, p++, index++) {
		#每个domian 也就是每个主设备号，可以有255个从设备，因此这里用从设备号作为索引
		struct probe **s = &domain->probes[index % 255];
		while (*s && (*s)->range < range)
			s = &(*s)->next;
		p->next = *s;
		*s = p;
	}
	mutex_unlock(domain->lock);
	return 0;
