linux open可以创建设备文件格式,linux设备驱动模型--open系统调用(创建文件)

static struct inode *shmem_get_inode(struct super_block *sb, const struct inode *dir,

int mode, dev_t dev, unsigned long flags)

{

struct inode *inode;

struct shmem_inode_info *info;

struct shmem_sb_info *sbinfo = SHMEM_SB(sb);

case S_IFREG:

inode->i_op = &shmem_inode_operations;

inode->i_fop = &shmem_file_operations;

mpol_shared_policy_init(&info->policy,

shmem_get_sbmpol(sbinfo));

break;

case S_IFDIR:

inc_nlink(inode);

inode->i_size = 2 * BOGO_DIRENT_SIZE;

inode->i_op = &shmem_dir_inode_operations;

inode->i_fop = &simple_dir_operations;

break;

case S_IFLNK:

/*

* mpol_free_shared_policy will not be called.

*/

mpol_shared_policy_init(&info->policy, NULL);

个人理解，创建一个文件和文件夹对linux来说没什么区别，都是新建一个i节点和一个目录项对象。
