Linux设备驱动模型三 kset

1 kset数据结构

kset的定义在前文已有描述，我们再回顾一下：

struct kset {
	/*与子kobject的entry成员组成链表*/
	struct list_head list;
	/*自旋锁*/
	spinlock_t list_lock;
	/*kobject*/
	struct kobject kobj;
	const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops;
}; 

2 kset创建流程

2.1 kset_create_and_add

kset的创建函数为kset_create_and_add，详细如下：

/**
 * kset_create_and_add - create a struct kset dynamically and add it to sysfs
 *
 * @name: the name for the kset
 * @uevent_ops: a struct kset_uevent_ops for the kset
 * @parent_kobj: the parent kobject of this kset, if any.
 *
 * This function creates a kset structure dynamically and registers it
 * with sysfs.  When you are finished with this structure, call
 * kset_unregister() and the structure will be dynamically freed when it
 * is no longer being used.
 *
 * If the kset was not able to be created, NULL will be returned.
 */
struct kset *kset_create_and_add(const char *name,
                                 const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops,
                                 struct kobject *parent_kobj)
{
    struct kset *kset;
    int error;
    /*创建kset对象*/
    kset = kset_create(name, uevent_ops, parent_kobj);
    if (!kset)
        return NULL;
    /*注册kset*/
    error = kset_register(kset);
    if (error) {
        kfree(kset);
        return NULL;
    }
    return kset;
} 

它调用了kset_create和kset_register函数。

下面看kset_create的实现：

/**
 * kset_create - create a struct kset dynamically
 *
 * @name: the name for the kset
 * @uevent_ops: a struct kset_uevent_ops for the kset
 * @parent_kobj: the parent kobject of this kset, if any.
 *
 * This function creates a kset structure dynamically.  This structure can
 * then be registered with the system and show up in sysfs with a call to
 * kset_register().  When you are finished with this structure, if
 * kset_register() has been called, call kset_unregister() and the
 * structure will be dynamically freed when it is no longer being used.
 *
 * If the kset was not able to be created, NULL will be returned.

static struct kset *kset_create(const char *name,
                                const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops,
                                struct kobject *parent_kobj)
{
    struct kset *kset;
    int retval;
    /*申请空间*/
    kset = kzalloc(sizeof(*kset), GFP_KERNEL);
    if (!kset)
        return NULL;
    /*设置kset的kobject名称*/
    retval = kobject_set_name(&kset->kobj, name);
    if (retval) {
        kfree(kset);
        return NULL;
    }
    kset->uevent_ops = uevent_ops;
    /*设置kobject的parent*/
    kset->kobj.parent = parent_kobj;

    /*
     * The kobject of this kset will have a type of kset_ktype
