先让我们来看看driver的结构。
- struct device_driver {
- const char *name;
- struct bus_type *bus;
- struct module *owner;
- const char *mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */
- bool suppress_bind_attrs; /* disables bind/unbind via sysfs */
- int (*probe) (struct device *dev);
- int (*remove) (struct device *dev);
- void (*shutdown) (struct device *dev);
- int (*suspend) (struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
- int (*resume) (struct device *dev);
- const struct attribute_group **groups;
- const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;
- struct driver_private *p;
- };
struct device_driver就是模型定义的通用驱动结构。name是驱动名称,但这个name也只是在静态定义的初始名称,实际使用的名称还是由kobject中保管的。bus执行驱动所在的总线,owner是驱动所在的模块,还有一个所在模块名称mod_name,suppress_bind_attrs定义是否允许驱动通过sysfs决定挂载还是卸载设备。下面是一系列函数指针,probe是在驱动刚与设备挂接时调用的,remove是在设备卸载时调用的,shutdown是在设备关闭时调用的(说实话我现在还不知道remove和shutdown的区别),suspend是设备休眠时调用的,resume是设备恢复时调用的。group是属性集合,pm是电源管理的函数集合,p是指向driver_private的指针。
- struct driver_private {
- struct kobject kobj;
- struct klist klist_devices;
- struct klist_node knode_bus;
- struct module_kobject *mkobj;
- struct device_driver *driver;
- };
- #define to_driver(obj) container_of(obj, struct driver_private, kobj)
与device类似,device_driver把与其它组件联系的大部分结构变量移到struct driver_private中来。首先是kobj,在sysfs中代表driver目录本身。klist_devices是驱动下的设备链表,knode_bus是要挂载在总线的驱动链表上的节点。mkobj是driver与相关module的联系,之前在device_driver结构中已经有指向module的指针,但这还不够,在/sys下你能发现一个module目录,所以驱动所属的模块在sysfs中也有显示,具体留到代码中再看。driver指针自然是从driver_private指回struct device_driver的。
- struct driver_attribute {
- struct attribute attr;
- ssize_t (*show)(struct device_driver *driver, char *buf);
- ssize_t (*store)(struct device_driver *driver, const char *buf,
- size_t count);
- };
- #define DRIVER_ATTR(_name, _mode, _show, _store) \
- struct driver_attribute driver_attr_##_name = \
- __ATTR(_name, _mode, _show, _store)
除了以上两个结构,还有struct driver_attribute。driver_attribute是driver对struct attribute的封装,添加了两个特用于device_driver的读写函数。这种封装看似简单重复,工作量很小,但在使用时却会造成巨大的便利。
好,结构介绍完毕,下面看driver.c中的实现。
- static struct device *next_device(struct klist_iter *i)
- {
- struct klist_node *n = klist_next(i);
- struct device *dev = NULL;
- struct device_private *dev_prv;
- if (n) {
- dev_prv = to_device_private_driver(n);
- dev = dev_prv->device;
- }
- return dev;
- }
- int driver_for_each_device(struct device_driver *drv, struct device *start,
- void *data, int (*fn)(struct device *, void *))
- {
- struct klist_iter i;
- struct device *dev;
- int error = 0;
- if (!drv)
- return -EINVAL;
- klist_iter_init_node(&drv->p->klist_devices, &i,
- start ? &start->p->knode_driver : NULL);
- while ((dev = next_device(&i)) && !error)
- error = fn(dev, data);
- klist_iter_exit(&i);
- return error;
- }
- struct device *driver_find_device(struct device_driver *drv,
- struct device *start, void *data,
- int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data))
- {
- struct klist_iter i;
- struct device *dev;
- if (!drv)
- return NULL;
- klist_iter_init_node(&drv->p->klist_devices, &i,
- (start ? &start->p->knode_driver : NULL));
- while ((dev = next_device(&i)))
- if (match(dev, data) && get_device(dev))
- break;
- klist_iter_exit(&i);
- return dev;
- }
driver_for_each_device()是对drv的设备链表中的每个设备调用一次指定函数。
driver_find_device()是在drv的设备链表中寻找一个设备,寻找使用指定的匹配函数。
这两个函数都不陌生,在之前分析device的core.c中已经见到与它们很类似的函数,只不过那里是遍历设备的子设备链表,这里是遍历驱动的设备链表。next_device()同样是辅助用的内部函数。
- int driver_create_file(struct device_driver *drv,
- struct driver_attribute *attr)
- {
- int error;
- if (drv)
- error = sysfs_create_file(&drv->p->kobj, &attr->attr);
- else
- error = -EINVAL;
- return error;
- }
- void driver_remove_file(struct device_driver *drv,
- struct driver_attribute *attr)
- {
- if (drv)
- sysfs_remove_file(&drv->p->kobj, &attr->attr);
- }
driver_create_file()创建drv下的属性文件,调用sysfs_create_file()实现。
driver_remove_file()删除drv下的属性文件,调用sysfs_remove_file()实现。
- static int driver_add_groups(struct device_driver *drv,
- const struct attribute_group **groups)
- {
- int error = 0;
- int i;
- if (groups) {
- for (i = 0; groups[i]; i++) {
- error = sysfs_create_group(&drv->p->kobj, groups[i]);
- if (error) {
- while (--i >= 0)
- sysfs_remove_group(&drv->p->kobj,
- groups[i]);
- break;
- }
- }
- }
- return error;
- }
- static void driver_remove_groups(struct device_driver *drv,
- const struct attribute_group **groups)
- {
- int i;
- if (groups)
- for (i = 0; groups[i]; i++)
- sysfs_remove_group(&drv->p->kobj, groups[i]);
- }
driver_add_groups()在drv目录下添加属性集合,调用sysfs_create_groups()实现。
driver_remove_groups()在drv目录下删除属性集合,调用sysfs_remove_groups()实现。
发现两点问题:第一,是不是���得driver_add_groups()不太合适,最好改为driver_create_groups()才搭调。但不只是driver用driver_add_groups(),device也使用device_add_groups(),不知一处这样做。第二,有没有发现driver_create_file()是外部函数,driver_add_groups()就是内部函数,也就是说driver只对外提供添加属性的接口,却不提供添加属性集合的接口。理由吗?在struct device_driver()已经专门定义了一个groups变量来添加属性集合,后面就不易再重复提供接口,而且创建属性集合需要的操作远比创建属性费时。在device中也是这样做的。
另外,driver中只提供管理属性文件的方法,却不提供管理二进制属性文件的方法,这是因为驱动本身没有这种需求,只有部分设备才要求二进制文件表示。
- struct device_driver *get_driver(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- if (drv) {
- struct driver_private *priv;
- struct kobject *kobj;
- kobj = kobject_get(&drv->p->kobj);
- priv = to_driver(kobj);
- return priv->driver;
- }
- return NULL;
- }
- void put_driver(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- kobject_put(&drv->p->kobj);
- }
get_driver()增加drv的引用计数,put_driver()减少drv的引用计数。这都是通过drv->p->kobj来做的。
- struct device_driver *driver_find(const char *name, struct bus_type *bus)
- {
- struct kobject *k = kset_find_obj(bus->p->drivers_kset, name);
- struct driver_private *priv;
- if (k) {
- priv = to_driver(k);
- return priv->driver;
- }
- return NULL;
- }
driver_find()从bus的驱动链表中寻找特定名称的driver。
- /**
- * driver_register - register driver with bus
- * @drv: driver to register
- *
- * We pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver() call,
- * since most of the things we have to do deal with the bus
- * structures.
- */
- int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- int ret;
- struct device_driver *other;
- BUG_ON(!drv->bus->p);
- if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) ||
- (drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) ||
- (drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown))
- printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use "
- "bus_type methods\n", drv->name);
- other = driver_find(drv->name, drv->bus);
- if (other) {
- put_driver(other);
- printk(KERN_ERR "Error: Driver '%s' is already registered, "
- "aborting...\n", drv->name);
- return -EBUSY;
- }
- ret = bus_add_driver(drv);
- if (ret)
- return ret;
- ret = driver_add_groups(drv, drv->groups);
- if (ret)
- bus_remove_driver(drv);
- return ret;
- }
driver_register()将drv注册到系统中。它真是做得难以预料地简单,所有的工作几乎完全是由bus_add_driver()代为完成的。但你要注意,在调用driver_register()前,drv->bus一定要预先设置。device可以不绑定bus,但driver一定要绑定到bus上。
- void driver_unregister(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- if (!drv || !drv->p) {
- WARN(1, "Unexpected driver unregister!\n");
- return;
- }
- driver_remove_groups(drv, drv->groups);
- bus_remove_driver(drv);
- }
driver_unregister()将drv从系统中撤销。大部分工作是调用bus_remove_driver()完成的。可以看出bus_add_driver()与bus_remove_driver()相对。driver和bus的联系如此紧密,以至于driver的注册和撤销工作都可以由bus代劳了。我们需要更进一步的分析。
经过调查,我们发现很有一部分driver的代码被移动到了bus.c中。我们本节是以driver为主,所以接下来会尽量在不惊动bus的情况下,分析存在于bus.c中的driver代码。
- static ssize_t drv_attr_show(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr,
- char *buf)
- {
- struct driver_attribute *drv_attr = to_drv_attr(attr);
- struct driver_private *drv_priv = to_driver(kobj);
- ssize_t ret = -EIO;
- if (drv_attr->show)
- ret = drv_attr->show(drv_priv->driver, buf);
- return ret;
- }
- static ssize_t drv_attr_store(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr,
- const char *buf, size_t count)
- {
- struct driver_attribute *drv_attr = to_drv_attr(attr);
- struct driver_private *drv_priv = to_driver(kobj);
- ssize_t ret = -EIO;
- if (drv_attr->store)

- return ret;
- }
- static struct sysfs_ops driver_sysfs_ops = {
- .show = drv_attr_show,
- .store = drv_attr_store,
- };
看到这里,你终于觉得driver开始正常了,它还要定义sysfs读写时操作的函数。
- static void driver_release(struct kobject *kobj)
- {
- struct driver_private *drv_priv = to_driver(kobj);
- pr_debug("driver: '%s': %s\n", kobject_name(kobj), __func__);
- kfree(drv_priv);
- }
- static struct kobj_type driver_ktype = {
- .sysfs_ops = &driver_sysfs_ops,
- .release = driver_release,
- };
与device的释放函数device_release不同,driver_release没有提供外界代码运行的机会,只是简单地释放drv_priv函数。
- /* Manually detach a device from its associated driver. */
- static ssize_t driver_unbind(struct device_driver *drv,

- }
- }
- put_device(dev);
- bus_put(bus);
- return err;
- }
- static DRIVER_ATTR(bind, S_IWUSR, NULL, driver_bind);
上面描述了driver下两个只写的属性文件,unbind和bind。应该是提供用户空间命令是否将设备与驱动挂接的接口。
- static int driver_add_attrs(struct bus_type *bus, struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- int error = 0;
- int i;
- if (bus->drv_attrs) {
- for (i = 0; attr_name(bus->drv_attrs[i]); i++) {
- error = driver_create_file(drv, &bus->drv_attrs[i]);
- if (error)
- goto err;
- }
- }
- done:

- }
- static void driver_remove_attrs(struct bus_type *bus,

- if (bus->drv_attrs) {
- for (i = 0; attr_name(bus->drv_attrs[i]); i++)
- driver_remove_file(drv, &bus->drv_attrs[i]);
- }
- }
driver_add_attrs()向drv目录下添加属性,只是这些属性都是在bus中定义的drv_attrs[]。
driver_remove_attrs()从drv目录中删除相应的bus->drv_attrs[]。
- static int __must_check add_bind_files(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- int ret;
- ret = driver_create_file(drv, &driver_attr_unbind);
- if (ret == 0) {
- ret = driver_create_file(drv, &driver_attr_bind);

- }
- static void remove_bind_files(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- driver_remove_file(drv, &driver_attr_bind);
- driver_remove_file(drv, &driver_attr_unbind);
- }
add_bind_files()在drv目录下增加bind和unbind属性。
remove_bind_files()从drv目录下删除bind和unbind属性。
- static ssize_t driver_uevent_store(struct device_driver *drv,
- const char *buf, size_t count)
- {
- enum kobject_action action;
- if (kobject_action_type(buf, count, &action) == 0)
- kobject_uevent(&drv->p->kobj, action);
- return count;
- }
- static DRIVER_ATTR(uevent, S_IWUSR, NULL, driver_uevent_store);
这是drv目录下地uevent属性文件,提供了从drv发送uevent的方法。
- /**

bus_add_driver()看似是把drv与bus联系起来,其实是完成driver加入系统的大部分操作。
首先调用bus_get(drv->bus)增加对bus的引用。
分配并初始化drv->p,即driver_private结构。
调用kobject_init_and_add()将drv加入sysfs,之前只是设置了priv->obj.kset为bus->p->drivers_kset,所以drv目录会出现在bus目录的drivers子目录中。如果总线允许自动probe,就会调用driver_attach()将驱动和总线上的设备进行匹配,这个过程先略过。
然后调用klist_add_tail()将drv挂入总线的驱动链表。
调用module_add_driver()创建driver相关的模块在sysfs中的表示。后面专门描述。
调用driver_create_file()在drv目录下创建uevent属性文件。
调用driver_add_attrs()在drv目录下添加bus->driver_attrs[]中定义的属性。
如果drv->suppress_bind_attrs为零,即允许用户空间决定驱动何时链接和卸载设备,则调用add_bind_files()添加bind和unbind属性文件。
调用kobject_uevent()向用户空间发布KOBJ_ADD消息。
从bus_add_driver()的处理过程来看,driver只在bus的drivers目录下出现,没什么软链接,需要的属性也不多。
- /**
- * bus_remove_driver - delete driver from bus's knowledge.
- * @drv: driver.
- *
- * Detach the driver from the devices it controls, and remove
- * it from its bus's list of drivers. Finally, we drop the reference
- * to the bus we took in bus_add_driver().
- */
- void bus_remove_driver(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- if (!drv->bus)
- return;
- if (!drv->suppress_bind_attrs)
- remove_bind_files(drv);
- driver_remove_attrs(drv->bus, drv);
- driver_remove_file(drv, &driver_attr_uevent);
- klist_remove(&drv->p->knode_bus);
- pr_debug("bus: '%s': remove driver %s\n", drv->bus->name, drv->name);
- driver_detach(drv);
- module_remove_driver(drv);
- kobject_put(&drv->p->kobj);
- bus_put(drv->bus);
- }
bus_remove_driver()将drv从系统中撤销,与bus_add_driver()相对应。
driver真正精彩的地方在于probe函数,对设备的操作,对用户空间提供的接口,可惜这些都是特定的。这里只能将driver与bus联系起来,并在以后与device联系起来。
不过不必失望,下面我们分析下drivers/base/module.c,它显示了与驱动有关的module,在sysfs中的表现情况。
首先介绍使用到的结构。应该说module.c的代码实现很简单,但使用到的结构不简单。
- struct module_attribute {
- struct attribute attr;
- ssize_t (*show)(struct module_attribute *, struct module *, char *);
- ssize_t (*store)(struct module_attribute *, struct module *,
- const char *, size_t count);
- void (*setup)(struct module *, const char *);
- int (*test)(struct module *);
- void (*free)(struct module *);
- };
- struct param_attribute
- {
- struct module_attribute mattr;
- struct kernel_param *param;
- };
- struct module_param_attrs
- {
- unsigned int num;
- struct attribute_group grp;
- struct param_attribute attrs[0];
- };
- struct module_kobject
- {
- struct kobject kobj;
- struct module *mod;
- struct kobject *drivers_dir;
- struct module_param_attrs *mp;
- };
可以看到module_attribute结构除了包含struct attribute,还多增加了好几条函数指针。而这只是最简单的,struct param_attribute除了包含module_attribute,还有一个指向kernel_param的指针param。这个kernel_param就太复杂了,是外界向module提供参数用的窗口,这里忽略。后面还有struct module_param_attrs和struct module_kobject。
- static char *make_driver_name(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- char *driver_name;
- driver_name = kmalloc(strlen(drv->name) + strlen(drv->bus->name) + 2,
- GFP_KERNEL);
- if (!driver_name)
- return NULL;
- sprintf(driver_name, "%s:%s", drv->bus->name, drv->name);
- return driver_name;
- }
make_driver_name()将drv的名字和drv->bus的名字合起来,不过这是一个内部函数,具体使用还要看后面。
- static void module_create_drivers_dir(struct module_kobject *mk)
- {
- if (!mk || mk->drivers_dir)
- return;
- mk->drivers_dir = kobject_create_and_add("drivers", &mk->kobj);
- }
module_create_drivers_dir()在mk所在的目录下创建一个drivers的目录。不过因为是使用kobject_create_and_add(),所以这个kobject使用默认的dynamic_kobj_ktype。
- void module_add_driver(struct module *mod, struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- char *driver_name;
- int no_warn;
- struct module_kobject *mk = NULL;
- if (!drv)
- return;
- if (mod)
- mk = &mod->mkobj;
- else if (drv->mod_name) {
- struct kobject *mkobj;
- /* Lookup built-in module entry in /sys/modules */
- mkobj = kset_find_obj(module_kset, drv->mod_name);
- if (mkobj) {
- mk = container_of(mkobj, struct module_kobject, kobj);
- /* remember our module structure */
- drv->p->mkobj = mk;
- /* kset_find_obj took a reference */
- kobject_put(mkobj);
- }
- }
- if (!mk)
- return;
- /* Don't check return codes; these calls are idempotent */
- no_warn = sysfs_create_link(&drv->p->kobj, &mk->kobj, "module");
- driver_name = make_driver_name(drv);
- if (driver_name) {
- module_create_drivers_dir(mk);
- no_warn = sysfs_create_link(mk->drivers_dir, &drv->p->kobj,
- driver_name);
- kfree(driver_name);
- }
- }
module_add_drivers()在module下添加与driver的联系。
开始调用kset_find_obj()从module_kset下寻找drv所属的module对应的kobj。说明每个module在加载时都会在/sys/module中创建一个kobject目录。这里找到后只是将其赋给drv->p->kmobj,并调用kobject_put()释放找到时加上的引用计数。至于为什么driver不保留对module的引用计数,或许是不需要,或许是已经存在了。
接下来调用sysfs_create_link()在驱动目录中添加指向module目录的软链接,名称就是module。
调用module_create_drivers_dir()在module目录下建立drivers子目录。
调用sysfs_create_link()在drivers子目录下建立指向驱动目录的软链接,名称使用make_driver_name()的返回结果。
- void module_remove_driver(struct device_driver *drv)
- {
- struct module_kobject *mk = NULL;
- char *driver_name;
- if (!drv)
- return;
- sysfs_remove_link(&drv->p->kobj, "module");
- if (drv->owner)
- mk = &drv->owner->mkobj;
- else if (drv->p->mkobj)
- mk = drv->p->mkobj;
- if (mk && mk->drivers_dir) {
- driver_name = make_driver_name(drv);
- if (driver_name) {
- sysfs_remove_link(mk->drivers_dir, driver_name);
- kfree(driver_name);
- }
- }
- }
module_remove_driver()消除driver与相应module之间的软链接关系。
对于module,应该是另一个议题了,这里只是简单涉及,下节我们将涉及到总线bus,并深入分析device和driver的关系。
