大部分tmpfs代码都是mm / shmem.c.新的inode是由创建的
static struct inode *shmem_get_inode(struct super_block *sb,const struct inode *dir,int mode,dev_t dev,unsigned long flags)
但它几乎将所有内容委托给通用文件系统代码.
特别是,字段i_ino填入fs / inode.c:
/**
* new_inode - obtain an inode
* @sb: superblock
*
* Allocates a new inode for given superblock. The default gfp_mask
* for allocations related to inode->i_mapping is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE.
* If HIGHMEM pages are unsuitable or it is known that pages allocated
* for the page cache are not reclaimable or migratable,* mapping_set_gfp_mask() must be called with suitable flags on the
* newly created inode's mapping
*
*/
struct inode *new_inode(struct super_block *sb)
{
/*
* On a 32bit,non LFS stat() call,glibc will generate an EOVERFLOW
* error if st_ino won't fit in target struct field. Use 32bit counter
* here to attempt to avoid that.
*/
static unsigned int last_ino;
struct inode *inode;
spin_lock_prefetch(&inode_lock);
inode = alloc_inode(sb);
if (inode) {
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
__inode_add_to_lists(sb,NULL,inode);
inode->i_ino = ++last_ino;
inode->i_state = 0;
spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
}
return inode;
}
它确实只使用递增计数器(last_ino).
大多数其他文件系统使用来自磁盘文件的信息稍后覆盖i_ino字段.
请注意,它完全可以包裹所有方式.内核还有一个“生成”字段,可以通过各种方式填充. mm / shmem.c使用当前时间.
