仅一个简单的open，应该不会有更简单的字符设备驱动了。
app 层还应该有这么个东西。
fd = open("/dev/test", O_RDWR);
好了，上面下面都有了。那，中间是怎么个回事？
大致的过程：
fd = open("/dev/test", O_RDWR);
sys_open
test_open
这个sys_open()可不是一个简单的函数，它包括了文件路径查找，文件权限判断等各种复杂BT的步骤。况且，不知何时起，内核里的sys_open已不是曾经的那个光明磊落的sys_open，tag不到，即便find到，也是一些bt的形式，早已面目全非。
-- fs/open.c --
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(open, const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode)
{
long ret;
if (force_o_largefile())
flags |= O_LARGEFILE;
ret = do_sys_open(AT_FDCWD, filename, flags, mode); //==>bb
/* avoid REGPARM breakage on x86: */
asmlinkage_protect(3, ret, filename, flags, mode);
return ret;
}
复制代码
有人问了，这个SYSCALL_DEFINE3是个什么东西，“你最好不要追究这样的问题”。
内核里的各种宏定义，不是一般的有才。简单的gcc -E一下 简单的瞧瞧。
#define __SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, name, ...) \
asmlinkage long sys##name(__SC_DECL##x(__VA_ARGS__)); \
static inline long SYSC##name(__SC_DECL##x(__VA_ARGS__)); \

{ \
__SC_TEST##x(__VA_ARGS__); \
return (long) SYSC##name(__SC_CAST##x(__VA_ARGS__)); \
} \
SYSCALL_ALIAS(sys##name, SyS##name); \
static inline long SYSC##name(__SC_DECL##x(__VA_ARGS__))
#define SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, sname, ...) \

int main(void)
{
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(open, const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode);
}
复制代码
展开真面目：
int main(void)
{
static const char *types__open[] = { __SC_STR_TDECL3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode) };
static const char *args__open[] = { __SC_STR_ADECL3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode) };
SYSCALL_METADATA(_open, 3);
asmlinkage long sys_open(__SC_DECL3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode));
static inline long SYSC_open(__SC_DECL3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode));
asmlinkage long SyS_open(__SC_LONG3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode))
{
__SC_TEST3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode);
return (long) SYSC_open(__SC_CAST3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode));
}
SYSCALL_ALIAS(sys_open, SyS_open);
static inline long SYSC_open(__SC_DECL3(const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode));
}

一些宏还未展开，点到为止，见好就收吧。
我们继续往下看。

说下六个感叹号的地方。记得我们在注册字符设备的时候是否有个cdev_init ？ 她的体内是不是有个 cdev->ops = fops ?
inode里是不是有个i_cdev ?
这里，file的f_op是不是被赋了inode的i_fop ?
打开struct file, struct inode的定义处，多瞧上两眼。这里就不贴了。
就这样，fd = open("/dev/test", O_RDWR) 最终还是调到了test_open 。
最后就是个首尾函数，将得到的fd和struct file关联起来。
gg:
void fd_install(unsigned int fd, struct file *file)
{
struct files_struct *files = current->files;
struct fdtable *fdt;
spin_lock(&files->file_lock);
fdt = files_fdtable(files);
BUG_ON(fdt->fd[fd] != NULL);
rcu_assign_pointer(fdt->fd[fd], file);
spin_unlock(&files->file_lock);
}
复制代码
do_sys_open 的结尾 return fd; 返回给 app。
fd = open("/dev/test", O_RDWR)
你懂的。
