struct video_device
简介
Video设备使用struct video_device结构体表示。设备的操作方法由fops和ioctl_ops函数指针集合指定，fops是文件操作方法，实现常见的open、read、write方法，ioctl_ops实现应用层的ioctl函数，功能较多。
具体的设备类型由vfl_type指定，可用VFL_TYPE_XXXX表示。Video设备是一个字符设备，由cdev指向创建的字符设备结构体。
使用video_device_alloc函数动态分配video_device结构体内存，使用video_device_release释放分配的video_device结构体内存，video_device的release函数可以初始化为video_device_release，当设备注销时释放内存。
使用video_register_device注册该结构体，使用video_unregister_device注销该结构体。

创建及销毁
动态分配：
//源码：drivers/media/v4l2-core/vl2-dev.c
struct video_device *video_device_alloc(void)
{
return kzalloc(sizeof(struct video_device), GFP_KERNEL);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(video_device_alloc);
void video_device_release(struct video_device *vdev)
{
kfree(vdev);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(video_device_release);
静态分配
//源码：drivers/media/v4l2-core/vl2-dev.c
void video_device_release_empty(struct video_device *vdev)
{
/* Do nothing */
/* Only valid when the video_device struct is a static. */
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(video_device_release_empty);
如果需要将 video_device 结构体嵌入到更大的结构体里面的话，就需要设置 vdev 的 release 成员。内核提供了两个默认的 release 回调函数，如下：
video_device_release() // 仅仅调用kfree释放分配的内存，用于动态分配情况下 video_device_release_empty() // 不做任何事情，静态变量
初始化
video_device创建后，必定要初始化的成员如下：
v4l2_dev ： 设置为指向v4l2_device
-
name ： 设置一个唯一的名字
-
fops： 设置为指向我们自己的v4l2_file_operations结构体
-
ioctl_ops ：设置为指向我们自己的v4l2_ioctl_ops结构体
-
lock ：互斥量。若想要自己实现互斥操作，则可以不设置此变量。不过强烈建设让V4L2使用此变量确保互斥。
-
prio：优先级，用来实现VIDIOC_G/S_PRIORITY。若为NULL，则V4L2会使用v4l2_device的优先级。
-
互斥锁-lock成员。当lock不为NULL时，V4L2框架会使用此mutex确保操作的互斥性。
然而，对于某个比较耗时的操作，若在运行过程中加锁，会导致驱动无法为其他任务服务。此时，可以将lock设置为NULL，互斥操作由驱动自己负责，V4L2框架不参与。驱动编写者必须确保在调用V4L2的函数时，打开mutex，退出时关闭mutex。

优先级-prio成员
// 源码：include/media/v4l2-dev.h
struct v4l2_prio_state {
atomic_t prios[4];
};
V4L2有三个优先级，定义如下：
//源码：include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h
enum v4l2_priority {
V4L2_PRIORITY_UNSET = 0, /* not initialized */
V4L2_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND = 1,
V4L2_PRIORITY_INTERACTIVE = 2,
V4L2_PRIORITY_RECORD = 3,
V4L2_PRIORITY_DEFAULT = V4L2_PRIORITY_INTERACTIVE,
};
-
V4L2_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND：最低优先级，正如字面意思，主要用于后台处理，比如监视VBI数据的传输。
-
V4L2_PRIORITY_INTERACTIVE ： 默认优先级。
-
V4L2_PRIORITY_RECORD ：最高优先级。系统中只能有一个此优先级应用，此优先级的应用会阻塞其他所有的应用。
驱动中，是如何操作v4l2_prio_stat结构体中的4个atomic_t变量，从而实现优先级管理呢？概括之，如下：
若这四个变量中的任何一个不为零，则表示该变量所对应的优先级有效。比如若prios[V4L2_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND]不为零，则程序处于V4L2_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND优先级。
优先级的确定过程：从数组(atomic_t prios[4])末尾依次查询，返回第一个不为零的变量的位置。此位置即为程序的优先级。
V4L2中与优先级相关的函数有下列几个：
//清零所有的优先级变量。
void v4l2_prio_init(struct v4l2_prio_state *global);
//设置指定的优先级(new)变量的值为1，并将以前的优先级(local)变量设置为0.
int v4l2_prio_change(struct v4l2_prio_state *global, enum v4l2_priority *local, enum v4l2_priority new);
//设置程序的优先级为V4L2_PRIORITY_DEFAULT
void v4l2_prio_open(struct v4l2_prio_state *global, enum v4l2_priority *local);
//设置当前优先级变量的值为0
void v4l2_prio_close(struct v4l2_prio_state *global, enum v4l2_priority local);
//查询程序的优先级。查询方法如上面所示。
enum v4l2_priority v4l2_prio_max(struct v4l2_prio_state *global);
//查询以确定程序是否能在指定的优先级下工作。如可以，则返回0；不可以则返回-EBUSY。
int v4l2_prio_check(struct v4l2_prio_state *global, enum v4l2_priority local);
fops成员
该结构体提供了一种简单的保存文件句柄特定数据的方法。v4l2_fh 的使用者-v4l2 framework 可以通过检查 video_device->flags 的 V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH 位来知道驱动是否使用 v4l2_fh 作为 file->private_data 指针，该标志位通过调用函数 v4l2_fh_init 来设置。
v4l2_fh 结构体作为驱动自己的文件句柄存在，并且在驱动的 open 函数里面设置 file->private_data 指向它，v4l2_fh 有多个的时候会作为一个链表存在于 file->private_data 中，可以遍历访问。在大多数情况下 v4l2_fh 结构体都被嵌入到更大的结构体里面，此时需要在 open 函数里面调用
v4l2_fh_init+v4l2_fh_add 进行添加，在 release 函数里面调用 v4l2_fh_del+v4l2_fh_exit 进行退出。
