struct inode 和 struct file.docVIP

The inode structure is used by the kernel internally to represent files. Therefore, it is different from the file structure that represents an open file descriptor. There can be numerous file structures representing multiple open descriptors on a single file, but they all point to a single inode structure. I节点,与文件描述符相然不一样了, I节点实际上指向的内容就是物理上的一个文件在内存中的拷贝, 而同一个物理文件有可能存在多个文件描述符, 但最终它们都指向同一个I节点 struct inode 和 struct file 收藏 1、struct inode──字符设备驱动相关的重要结构介绍 内核中用inode结构表示具体的文件，而用file结构表示打开的文件描述符。Linux2.6.27内核中，inode结构体具体定义如下： struct inode { struct hlist_node i_hash; struct list_head i_list; struct list_head i_sb_list; struct list_head i_dentry; unsigned long i_ino; atomic_t i_count; unsigned int i_nlink; uid_t i_uid; gid_t i_gid; dev_t i_rdev; //该成员表示设备文件的inode结构，它包含了真正的设备编号。 u64 i_version; loff_t i_size; #ifdef __NEED_I_SIZE_ORDERED seqcount_t i_size_seqcount; #endif struct timespec i_atime; struct timespec i_mtime; struct timespec i_ctime; unsigned int i_blkbits; blkcnt_t i_blocks; unsigned short i_bytes; umode_t i_mode; spinlock_t i_lock; /* i_blocks, i_bytes, maybe i_size */ struct mutex i_mutex; struct rw_semaphore i_alloc_sem; const struct inode_operations *i_op; const struct file_operations *i_fop; /* former -i_op-default_file_ops */ struct super_block *i_sb; struct file_lock *i_flock; struct address_space *i_mapping; struct address_space i_data; #ifdef CONFIG_QUOTA struct dquot *i_dquot[MAXQUOTAS]; #endif struct list_head i_devices; union { struct pipe_inode_info *i_pipe; struct block_device *i_bdev; struct cdev *i_cdev; //该成员表示字符设备的内核的 内部结构。当inode指向一个字符设备文件时，该成员包含了指向struct cdev结构的指针，其中cdev结构是字符设备结构体。 }; int i_cindex; __u32 i_g
