1. Linux字符设备驱动的组成
引自宋宝华《Linux设备驱动开发详解--基于最新的Linux 4.0内核》P138内容:
在Linux中,字符设备驱动由如下几个部分组成。
1. 字符设备驱动模块加载与卸载函数
2. 字符设备驱动的file_operations 结构体中的成员函数
这里先介绍一下字符设备的开发流程:字符设备驱动是通过设备号 与上位机程序连接。而上位机程序对驱动的控制则是通过文件操作,即read、write、ioctl
等完成。
- ps.(对于Linux系统而言,一切皆文件,驱动加载成功后,会在
/proc/devices
里面添加驱动节点号信息)
因此一个字符设备驱动应包含1. 设备号的注册、卸载
和2. 文件操作
两个功能,注册的设备号用于提供接口,而文件操作用于对驱动的操作。
字符设备驱动的结构如下图所示:
对于cdev_init
函数中,建立file_operations
之间的连接的疑问,看一下cdev_init
的实现
void cdev_init(struct cdev *cdev, const struct file_operations *fops)
memset(cdev, 0, sizeof *cdev);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&cdev->list);
kobject_init(&cdev->kobj, &ktype_cdev_default);
cdev->ops = fops;
可以看出,最后的一个语句cdev->ops = fops;
完成了在cdev中的file_operations
的绑定
下面从程序语言角度感性的认识一下设备号的注册、卸载函数原型,和文件操作函数原型。
1.1 字符设备驱动模块加载与卸载函数
//加载函数
static int __init xxx_init(void)
... ...
//卸载函数
static int __exit xxx_exit(void)
... ...
1.2 字符设备驱动的file_operations 结构体中的成员函数
static const struct file_operations xxx_fileops =
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.write = xxx_write,
.read = xxx_read,
.open = xxx_open,
.unlocked_ioctl = xxx_ioctl,
... ...
;
static int xxx_open( struct inode *inodes, struct file *filp )
... ...
static long xxx_ioctl( struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg )
... ...
static ssize_t xxx_write( struct file *filp, const char __user *buffer, size_t size, loff_t *f_pos )
... ...
static ssize_t xxx_read( struct file *filp, const char __user *buffer, size_t size, loff_t *f_pos )
... ...
2. 字符设备驱动——设备号注册卸载
以我写的字符设备驱动源代码为例,路径为linux-3.4.2\drivers\char\s3c2440_leds.c
,文章后附有完整的代码
设备号的注册由static int __init s3c2440_leds_init(void)
完成
设备号的卸载由static int __init s3c2440_leds_exit(void)
完成
首先分析设备号的注册,然后分析卸载
2.1 设备号注册
设备号分为主设备号和次设备号,若源代码中定义了主设备号(次设备号一般为0),那么可以直接完成设备号的注册,其流程为
注册成功后,可通过cat /proc/devices
命令查看设备号
2.2 设备号注销
相比设备号的注册,注销流程就十分简单:
3. 字符设备驱动——文件操作
上位机程序首先要调用open
函数打开此驱动,具体方法就是,打开该设备号对应的文件,一般而言,该设备号文件在/dev/
文件夹下,驱动在内核中注册成功后会在/proc/devices
中包含设备号信息,但/dev/
文件夹内并没有创建该设备号对应的文件,因此需要手动创建该设备号文件,命令为:
mknod /dev/leds c 230 0
表示在/dev
文件夹下创建名为leds
的字符设备文件,其主设备号为230,次设备号为0。
字符设备文件名可以另取,但设备号一定要对应/proc/devices
里面的设备号。
然后通过fd = open("/dev/leds",0);
完成设备驱动的打开
当上位机程序通过调用open
函数打开(链接上)相应的驱动程序后,open
函数会返回一个==文件描述符==暂且记为fd
,然后对该驱动的read、write、ioctl
等操作都可以通过使用fd
完成。简单的字符设备驱动程序大多采用ioctl
函数控制驱动程序,而这个ioctl
函数本身也不难,其实现为:
static long s3c2440_leds_ioctl( struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg )
函数中
第一个参数:表示要操作的文件描述符
第二个参数:表示传递的命令字
第三个参数:表示传递的变量字
第二个参数和第三个参数的含义没有硬性规定,传递的参数符合对应的关键字限定类型即可
下面的给出示例参考
static long s3c2440_leds_ioctl( struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg )
printk(DRV_NAME "\tRecv cmd: %u\n", cmd);
printk(DRV_NAME "\tRecv arg: %lu\n", arg);
//IO operations function.
if(arg > 4)
return -EINVAL;
switch (cmd)
case IOCTL_LED_ON: //#define IOCTL_LED_ON 1
s3c2410_gpio_setpin(S3C2410_GPF(arg+3), 0);//Set pin
printk("Open LED %lu ",arg);
return 0;
case IOCTL_LED_OFF: //#define IOCTL_LED_OFF 0
s3c2410_gpio_setpin(S3C2410_GPF(arg+3), 1);
printk("Close LED %lu ",arg);
return 0;
default:
return -EINVAL;
