【中文标题】带有循环缓冲区的字符驱动程序【英文标题】:Character Driver with Circular buffer 【发布时间】:2015-07-20 11:38:41 【问题描述】:我正在学习设备驱动程序编程,并创建了一个简单的字符驱动程序,我从用户空间应用程序传递数据并将其存储在内核空间循环缓冲区中,然后再次从另一个用户空间应用程序读取此循环缓冲区。
我使用的是 linux 内核版本 3.3.6
我的驱动代码是:

在 my_write 函数中,我在
处收到内核空指针取消引用错误 dev->KERN_BUFF.buf[dev->KERN_BUFF.head] = ch;
printk("\nIn character driver write function and value of KERN_BUFF is: %s", dev->KERN_BUFF.buf);
dev->KERN_BUFF.head = (dev->KERN_BUFF.head + 1) & (dev->KERN_SIZE-1);
my_read
函数似乎不正确,但由于我无法向内核循环缓冲区写入内容,因此无法测试 my_read
函数。
我做错了什么?
【问题讨论】:
我没有检查发布的代码。但是,管道已经进行了这种组织。如果是我,我会用管子。 在用户空间阅读器应用程序中,memset、read、printf序列不应该处于循环中并在读取返回值(当前未检查)指示读取0字节时退出循环还是表示错误? 'gets' 已贬值,很快就会从 C 中淘汰。建议使用 'fgets',因为这样很容易避免缓冲区溢出。 这一行:'dev->KERN_BUFF.buf = "Bye Bye";'只复制一个指针。建议使用:strnlen(dev->KERN_BUFF.buf, "Bye Bye", sizeof("Bye Bye")+1); // +1 所以包括 '\0' 字符串终止符字节。注意:当复制到缓冲区时,始终将复制的字符数限制为缓冲区中当前可用的空间。 但是如何摆脱空指针解引用错误呢?我不明白。 【参考方案1】:我认为问题是您没有在循环缓冲区中分配任何空间...dev->KERN_BUFF.buf = kmalloc(...)
不要忘记释放。
此外,您正在注册 2 个 my_private_data,这意味着每个 fd 都会获得自己的 my_private_data。我认为您希望生产者和消费者处理相同的数据。也许你需要一个 spin_lock...
