SBULL块设备驱动程序分析 #define SBULL_MINORS 16 /* 每个sbull设备所支持的次设备号的数量 */ #define KERNEL_SECTOR_SIZE 512 // 本地定义的常量，使用该常量进行内核512字节到实际 // 扇区大小的转换 #define INVALIDATE_DELAY 30*HZ 块设备的核心数据结构(the internal representation of our device)： struct sbull_dev{ int size; /* Device size in sectors */ u8 *data; /* The data array */ short users; /* How many users */ short media_change; /* Flag a media change? */ spinlock_t lock; /* For mutual exclusion */ struct request_queue *queue; /* The device request queue */ struct gendisk *gd; /* The gendisk structure */ struct timer_list timer; /* For simulated media changes */ } static struct sbull_dev *Devices = NULL; static int sbull_major = 0; /* 块设备号，0就自动分配*/ static int ndevices = 1; static int nsectors = 25600; /* 硬件扇区数目 */ static int hardsect_size = 512; /* 硬件扇区大小 */ /* The different request modes we can use. */ enum{ RM_SIMPLE = 0, RM_FULL = 1, RM_NOQUEUE = 2, }; static int request_mode = RM_FULL; 块设备驱动都是从 init 函数开始的，所以从这里开始分析 static int __init sbull_init(void) { int i; sbull_major = register_blkdev(sbull_major,sbull);// 注册块设备，第一个是设备号，0为动态 if(sbull_major = 0) //分配，第二个是设备名 { printk(KERN_WARNING sbull:unable to get major number\n); return -EBUSY; } /* 为块核心数据结构 sbull_dev 分配空间*/ Devices = kmalloc(ndevices *sizeof(struct sbull_dev),GFP_KERNEL); if(Devices == NULL) goto out_unregister; for(i = 0;i ndevices;i++) /* 初始化 sbull_dev 核心数据结构 */ setup_device(Devices + i,i); return 0; out_unregister: unregister_blkdev(sbull_major,sbd); return -ENOMEM; } /*初始化 sbull_dev 数据结构的具体实现*/ static void setup_device(struct sbull_dev *dev,int which) { memset(dev,0,sizeof(struct sbull_dev)); /* 初始化 dev 所指内容为0*/ dev-size = nsectors * hardsect_size; dev-data = vmalloc(dev-size); if(dev-data == NULL) { printk(KERN_NOTICE vmalloc failure.\n); return ; } spin_lock_init(dev-lock); /* 初始化自旋锁*/ /* 在分配请求队列前要先初始化自旋锁*/ /* The timer which invalidates the device给内核定时器初始化 */ init_timer(dev-timer); /*初始化定时器，实际将结构中的list成员初始化为空*/ dev-timer.data = (unsigned long)dev; /*被用作
