内核中的platform driver机制需要将设备本身的资源注册进内核，由内核统一管理，在驱动程序中使用这些资源时通过platform device提供的标准接口进行申请并使用。这样可以提高驱动和资源管理的独立性。本文的目的就是希望弄清楚platform device和driver之间的关系。
1.1 相关数据结构
1.1.1 device
这个结构体定义为：
struct device {
struct klist klist_children;
struct klist_node knode_parent; /* node in sibling list */
struct klist_node knode_driver;
struct klist_node knode_bus;
struct device *parent;
struct kobject kobj;
char bus_id[BUS_ID_SIZE]; /* position on parent bus */
struct device_type *type;
unsigned is_registered:1;
unsigned uevent_suppress:1;
struct device_attribute uevent_attr;
struct device_attribute *devt_attr;
struct semaphore sem; /* semaphore to synchronize calls to
* its driver.
*/
struct bus_type * bus; /* type of bus device is on */
struct device_driver *driver; /* which driver has allocated this
device */
void *driver_data; /* data private to the driver */
void *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device
core doesn't touch it */
struct dev_pm_info power;
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
int numa_node; /* NUMA node this device is close to */
#endif
u64 *dma_mask; /* dma mask (if dma'able device) */
u64 coherent_dma_mask;/* Like dma_mask, but for
alloc_coherent mappings as
not all hardware supports
64 bit addresses for consistent
allocations such descriptors. */
struct list_head dma_pools; /* dma pools (if dma'ble) */
struct dma_coherent_mem *dma_mem; /* internal for coherent mem
override */
/* arch specific additions */
struct dev_archdata archdata;
spinlock_t devres_lock;
struct list_head devres_head;
/* class_device migration path */
struct list_head node;
struct class *class;
dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
struct attribute_group **groups; /* optional groups */
void (*release)(struct device * dev);
};
这个结构体有点复杂，不过我们暂时用不了这么多。
1.1.2 resource
这个结构体定义为：
/*
* Resources are tree-like, allowing
* nesting etc..
*/
struct resource {
resource_size_t start;
resource_size_t end;
const char *name;
unsigned long flags;
struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
};
在这个结构体中，start和end的意义将根据flags中指定的资源类型进行解释。内核对资源进行了分类，一共有四种类型：
#define IORESOURCE_IO 0x00000100 /* Resource type */
#define IORESOURCE_MEM 0x00000200
#define IORESOURCE_IRQ 0x00000400
#define IORESOURCE_DMA 0x00000800
对于DM9000来说，其定义的资源如下：
static struct resource dm9000_bfin_resources[] = {
{
.start = 0x2C000000,
.end = 0x2C000000 + 0x7F,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
}, {
.start = IRQ_PF10,
.end = IRQ_PF10,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_LOWLEVEL,
},
};
也就是说，它定义了两种类型的资源。从这里也可以看出resource结构体里面的name成员没有太大的用处。
1.1.3 platform_device
这个结构体定义为：
struct platform_device {
const char * name;
u32 id;
struct device dev;
u32 num_resources;
struct resource * resource;
};
它对device加了一层包装，添加了resource的内容。看看DM9000的定义：
static struct platform_device dm9000_bfin_device = {
.name = "dm9000",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(dm9000_bfin_resources),
.resource = dm9000_bfin_resources,
};
注意这里的name。
1.1.4 device_driver
这个结构体定义为：
struct device_driver {
const char * name;
struct bus_type * bus;
struct kobject kobj;
struct klist klist_devices;
struct klist_node knode_bus;
struct module * owner;
const char * mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */
struct module_kobject * mkobj;
int (*probe) (struct device * dev);
int (*remove) (struct device * dev);
void (*shutdown) (struct device * dev);
int (*suspend) (struct device * dev, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume) (struct device * dev);
};
1.1.5 platform_driver
这个结构体定义为：
struct platform_driver {
int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*suspend_late)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume_early)(struct platform_device *);
int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
struct device_driver driver;
};
它在device_driver的基础上封装了几个操作函数。
1.1.6 bus_type
这个结构体定义为：
struct bus_type {
const char * name;
struct module * owner;
struct kset subsys;
struct kset drivers;
struct kset devices;
struct klist klist_devices;
struct klist klist_drivers;
struct blocking_notifier_head bus_notifier;
struct bus_attribute * bus_attrs;
struct device_attribute * dev_attrs;
struct driver_attribute * drv_attrs;
struct bus_attribute drivers_autoprobe_attr;
struct bus_attribute drivers_probe_attr;
int (*match)(struct device * dev, struct device_driver * drv);
int (*uevent)(struct device *dev, char **envp,
int num_envp, char *buffer, int buffer_size);
int (*probe)(struct device * dev);
int (*remove)(struct device * dev);
void (*shutdown)(struct device * dev);
int (*suspend)(struct device * dev, pm_message_t state);
int (*suspend_late)(struct device * dev, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume_early)(struct device * dev);
int (*resume)(struct device * dev);
unsigned int drivers_autoprobe:1;
};
1.2 资源注册
在arch/blackfin/mach-bf561/boards/ezkit.c中有这样的代码：
static int __init ezkit_init(void)
{
int ret;
printk(KERN_INFO "%s(): registering device resources/n", __func__);
ret = platform_add_devices(ezkit_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(ezkit_devices));
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
return 0;
}
arch_initcall(ezkit_init);
这里使用了arch_initcall来对ezkit_init函数进行调用次序的限制，而驱动的加载通常是使用module_init进行限制的，因此ezkit_init函数将先于驱动加载。
在这里ezkit_devices的定义为：
static struct platform_device *ezkit_devices[] __initdata = {
&dm9000_bfin_device,
…………
};
1.2.1 platform_add_devices
这个函数比较简单：
/**
* platform_add_devices - add a numbers of platform devices
* @devs: array of platform devices to add
* @num: number of platform devices in array
*/
int platform_add_devices(struct platform_device **devs, int num)
{
int i, ret = 0;
for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
ret = platform_device_register(devs[i]);
if (ret) {
while (--i >= 0)
platform_device_unregister(devs[i]);
break;
}
}
return ret;
}
为这个数组中的每个元素调用platform_device_register，如果出错则注销此前注册的所有platform device。
1.2.2 platform_device_register
这个函数的实现为：
/**
* platform_device_register - add a platform-level device
* @pdev: platform device we're adding
*
*/
int platform_device_register(struct platform_device * pdev)
{
device_initialize(&pdev->dev);
return platform_device_add(pdev);
}
也比较简单，先调用device_initialize初始化platform_device::dev，这里仅仅是对device结构体的成员赋初值，略过它不做分析。接下来的关键是platform_device_add。
1.2.3 platform_device_add
这个函数定义为：
/**
* platform_device_add - add a platform device to device hierarchy
* @pdev: platform device we're adding
*
* This is part 2 of platform_device_register(), though may be called
* separately _iff_ pdev was allocated by platform_device_alloc().
*/
int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int i, ret = 0;
if (!pdev)
return -EINVAL;
if (!pdev->dev.parent)
pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;
pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;
if (pdev->id != -1)
snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%u", pdev->name, pdev->id);
else
strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE);
for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) {
struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];
if (r->name == NULL)
r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;
p = r->parent;
if (!p) {
if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)
p = &iomem_resource;
else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)
p = &ioport_resource;
}
if (p && insert_resource(p, r)) {
printk(KERN_ERR
"%s: failed to claim resource %d/n",
pdev->dev.bus_id, i);
ret = -EBUSY;
goto failed;
}
}
pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",
pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);
ret = device_add(&pdev->dev);
if (ret == 0)
return ret;
failed:
while (--i >= 0)
if (pdev->resource[i].flags & (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_IO))
release_resource(&pdev->resource[i]);
return ret;
}
在这个函数里做了两件关键的事情，一个是注册device设备，它将device::bus指定为platform_bus_type。另一个是注册resource。看下面的这几行代码：
if (!p) {
if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)
p = &iomem_resource;
else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)
p = &ioport_resource;
}
对照DM9000的资源定义：
static struct resource dm9000_bfin_resources[] = {
{
.start = 0x2C000000,
.end = 0x2C000000 + 0x7F,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
}, {
.start = IRQ_PF10,
.end = IRQ_PF10,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_LOWLEVEL,
},
};
它的中断资源并没有进行注册。
1.2.4 device_add
这一函数定义为：
/**
* device_add - add device to device hierarchy.
* @dev: device.
*
* This is part 2 of device_register(), though may be called
* separately _iff_ device_initialize() has been called separately.
*
* This adds it to the kobject hierarchy via kobject_add(), adds it
* to the global and sibling lists for the device, then
* adds it to the other relevant subsystems of the driver model.
*/
int device_add(struct device *dev)
{
……………………..
if ((error = device_add_attrs(dev)))
goto AttrsError;
if ((error = device_pm_add(dev)))
goto PMError;
if ((error = bus_add_device(dev)))
goto BusError;
…………………..
}
这里有一个关键调用bus_add_device，它将把dev添加到platform_bus_type这一全局变量中的列表。
1.2.5 bus_add_device
这个函数定义为：
/**
* bus_add_device - add device to bus
* @dev: device being added
*
* - Add the device to its bus's list of devices.
* - Create link to device's bus.
*/
int bus_add_device(struct device * dev)
{
struct bus_type * bus = get_bus(dev->bus);
int error = 0;
if (bus) {
pr_debug("bus %s: add device %s/n", bus->name, dev->bus_id);
error = device_add_attrs(bus, dev);
if (error)
goto out_put;
error = sysfs_create_link(&bus->devices.kobj,
&dev->kobj, dev->bus_id);
if (error)
goto out_id;
error = sysfs_create_link(&dev->kobj,
&dev->bus->subsys.kobj, "subsystem");
if (error)
goto out_subsys;
error = make_deprecated_bus_links(dev);
if (error)
goto out_deprecated;
}
return 0;
out_deprecated:
sysfs_remove_link(&dev->kobj, "subsystem");
out_subsys:
sysfs_remove_link(&bus->devices.kobj, dev->bus_id);
out_id:
device_remove_attrs(bus, dev);
out_put:
put_bus(dev->bus);
return error;
}
注意当执行到此函数时dev->bus指向platform_bus_type这一全局变量，因而这一函数将把dev添加到platform_bus_type的链表中。
1.3 驱动注册
下面是DM9000网卡的驱动加载代码：
static int __init
dm9000_init(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "%s Ethernet Driver/n", CARDNAME);
return platform_driver_register(&dm9000_driver); /* search board and register */
}
module_init(dm9000_init);
很简单的代码，直接调用platform_driver_register注册驱动，这里dm9000_driver的定义为：
static struct platform_driver dm9000_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "dm9000",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
.probe = dm9000_probe,
.remove = dm9000_drv_remove,
.suspend = dm9000_drv_suspend,
.resume = dm9000_drv_resume,
};
1.3.1 platform_driver_register
这个函数定义为：
/**
* platform_driver_register
* @drv: platform driver structure
*/
int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv)
{
drv->driver.bus = &platform_bus_type;
if (drv->probe)
drv->driver.probe = platform_drv_probe;
if (drv->remove)
drv->driver.remove = platform_drv_remove;
if (drv->shutdown)
drv->driver.shutdown = platform_drv_shutdown;
if (drv->suspend)
drv->driver.suspend = platform_drv_suspend;
if (drv->resume)
drv->driver.resume = platform_drv_resume;
return driver_register(&drv->driver);
}
注意由于DM9000的platform_driver中指定了probe，remove，suspend，resume这四个函数，因此device_driver结构体中的这几个函数指针将进行初始化设置。最后再调用driver_register注册driver成员，有点奇怪，怎么就抛弃了platform_driver呢？
1.3.2 driver_register
这个函数定义为：
/**
* driver_register - register driver with bus
* @drv: driver to register
*
* We pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver() call,
* since most of the things we have to do deal with the bus
* structures.
*/
int driver_register(struct device_driver * drv)
{
if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) ||
(drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) ||
(drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown)) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use bus_type methods/n", drv->name);
}
klist_init(&drv->klist_devices, NULL, NULL);
return bus_add_driver(drv);
}
当函数执行到这里的时候，drv->bus指向的是platform_bus_type这一全局变量。
struct bus_type platform_bus_type = {
.name = "platform",
.dev_attrs = platform_dev_attrs,
.match = platform_match,
.uevent = platform_uevent,
.suspend = platform_suspend,
.suspend_late = platform_suspend_late,
.resume_early = platform_resume_early,
.resume = platform_resume,
};
1.3.3 bus_add_driver
这个函数定义为：
/**
* bus_add_driver - Add a driver to the bus.
* @drv: driver.
*
*/
int bus_add_driver(struct device_driver *drv)
{
struct bus_type * bus = get_bus(drv->bus);
int error = 0;
if (!bus)
return -EINVAL;
pr_debug("bus %s: add driver %s/n", bus->name, drv->name);
error = kobject_set_name(&drv->kobj, "%s", drv->name);
if (error)
goto out_put_bus;
drv->kobj.kset = &bus->drivers;
if ((error = kobject_register(&drv->kobj)))
goto out_put_bus;
if (drv->bus->drivers_autoprobe) {
error = driver_attach(drv);
if (error)
goto out_unregister;
}
klist_add_tail(&drv->knode_bus, &bus->klist_drivers);
module_add_driver(drv->owner, drv);
error = driver_add_attrs(bus, drv);
if (error) {
/* How the hell do we get out of this pickle? Give up */
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: driver_add_attrs(%s) failed/n",
__FUNCTION__, drv->name);
}
error = add_bind_files(drv);
if (error) {
/* Ditto */
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: add_bind_files(%s) failed/n",
__FUNCTION__, drv->name);
}
return error;
out_unregister:
kobject_unregister(&drv->kobj);
out_put_bus:
put_bus(bus);
return error;
}
当函数执行到此的时候，drv->bus将指向platform_bus_type这一全局变量，而这一全局变量的drivers_autoprobe成员在bus_register这一全局初始化函数中设置为1。因此这里将调用driver_attach函数，注意此时传递进去的参数drv指向的是dm9000_driver的driver成员。
1.3.4 driver_attach
这一函数定义为：
/**
* driver_attach - try to bind driver to devices.
* @drv: driver.
*
* Walk the list of devices that the bus has on it and try to
* match the driver with each one. If driver_probe_device()
* returns 0 and the @dev->driver is set, we've found a
* compatible pair.
*/
int driver_attach(struct device_driver * drv)
{
return bus_for_each_dev(drv->bus, NULL, drv, __driver_attach);
}
很简单，转向bus_for_each_dev。
1.3.5 bus_for_each_dev
这一函数定义为：
/**
* bus_for_each_dev - device iterator.
* @bus: bus type.
* @start: device to start iterating from.
* @data: data for the callback.
* @fn: function to be called for each device.
*
* Iterate over @bus's list of devices, and call @fn for each,
* passing it @data. If @start is not NULL, we use that device to
* begin iterating from.
*
* We check the return of @fn each time. If it returns anything
* other than 0, we break out and return that value.
*
* NOTE: The device that returns a non-zero value is not retained
* in any way, nor is its refcount incremented. If the caller needs
* to retain this data, it should do, and increment the reference
* count in the supplied callback.
*/
int bus_for_each_dev(struct bus_type * bus, struct device * start,
void * data, int (*fn)(struct device *, void *))
{
struct klist_iter i;
struct device * dev;
int error = 0;
if (!bus)
return -EINVAL;
klist_iter_init_node(&bus->klist_devices, &i,
(start ? &start->knode_bus : NULL));
while ((dev = next_device(&i)) && !error)
error = fn(dev, data);
klist_iter_exit(&i);
return error;
}
简单枚举此总线上注册的device，然后为其调用__driver_attach函数，试图将一个device和传递进来的driver相匹配。
1.3.6 __driver_attach
这一函数定义为：
static int __driver_attach(struct device * dev, void * data)
{
struct device_driver * drv = data;
/*
* Lock device and try to bind to it. We drop the error
* here and always return 0, because we need to keep trying
* to bind to devices and some drivers will return an error
* simply if it didn't support the device.
*
* driver_probe_device() will spit a warning if there
* is an error.
*/
if (dev->parent) /* Needed for USB */
down(&dev->parent->sem);
down(&dev->sem);
if (!dev->driver)
driver_probe_device(drv, dev);
up(&dev->sem);
if (dev->parent)
up(&dev->parent->sem);
return 0;
}
很简单，转而调用driver_probe_device进行驱动的匹配。
1.3.7 driver_probe_device
这个函数定义为：
/**
* driver_probe_device - attempt to bind device & driver together
* @drv: driver to bind a device to
* @dev: device to try to bind to the driver
*
* First, we call the bus's match function, if one present, which should
* compare the device IDs the driver supports with the device IDs of the
* device. Note we don't do this ourselves because we don't know the
* format of the ID structures, nor what is to be considered a match and
* what is not.
*
* This function returns 1 if a match is found, -ENODEV if the device is
* not registered, and 0 otherwise.
*
* This function must be called with @dev->sem held. When called for a
* USB interface, @dev->parent->sem must be held as well.
*/
int driver_probe_device(struct device_driver * drv, struct device * dev)
{
int ret = 0;
if (!device_is_registered(dev))
return -ENODEV;
if (drv->bus->match && !drv->bus->match(dev, drv))
goto done;
pr_debug("%s: Matched Device %s with Driver %s/n",
drv->bus->name, dev->bus_id, drv->name);
ret = really_probe(dev, drv);
done:
return ret;
}
此时的drv->bus指向platform_bus_type这一全局变量，而它的match函数为platform_match，且让我们看看它是如何确定device和driver是否匹配的。
/**
* platform_match - bind platform device to platform driver.
* @dev: device.
* @drv: driver.
*
* Platform device IDs are assumed to be encoded like this:
* "<name><instance>", where <name> is a short description of the
* type of device, like "pci" or "floppy", and <instance> is the
* enumerated instance of the device, like '0' or '42'.
* Driver IDs are simply "<name>".
* So, extract the <name> from the platform_device structure,
* and compare it against the name of the driver. Return whether
* they match or not.
*/
static int platform_match(struct device * dev, struct device_driver * drv)
{
struct platform_device *pdev = container_of(dev, struct platform_device, dev);
return (strncmp(pdev->name, drv->name, BUS_ID_SIZE) == 0);
}
也就是说，它通过比较pdev->name和drv->name是否匹配来决定。
对于DM9000的驱动来说，这里的pdev指向dm9000_bfin_device，看看它的初始值：
static struct platform_device dm9000_bfin_device = {
.name = "dm9000",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(dm9000_bfin_resources),
.resource = dm9000_bfin_resources,
};
再看drv，其指向dm9000_driver这一变量中的driver成员。
static struct platform_driver dm9000_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "dm9000",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
.probe = dm9000_probe,
.remove = dm9000_drv_remove,
.suspend = dm9000_drv_suspend,
.resume = dm9000_drv_resume,
};
在进行了正确的名称匹配之后，将调用really_probe进行硬件检测。
1.3.8 really_probe
这一函数定义为：
static int really_probe(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
int ret = 0;
atomic_inc(&probe_count);
pr_debug("%s: Probing driver %s with device %s/n",
drv->bus->name, drv->name, dev->bus_id);
WARN_ON(!list_empty(&dev->devres_head));
dev->driver = drv;
if (driver_sysfs_add(dev)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: driver_sysfs_add(%s) failed/n",
__FUNCTION__, dev->bus_id);
goto probe_failed;
}
if (dev->bus->probe) {
ret = dev->bus->probe(dev);
if (ret)
goto probe_failed;
} else if (drv->probe) {
ret = drv->probe(dev);
if (ret)
goto probe_failed;
}
driver_bound(dev);
ret = 1;
pr_debug("%s: Bound Device %s to Driver %s/n",
drv->bus->name, dev->bus_id, drv->name);
goto done;
probe_failed:
devres_release_all(dev);
driver_sysfs_remove(dev);
dev->driver = NULL;
if (ret != -ENODEV && ret != -ENXIO) {
/* driver matched but the probe failed */
printk(KERN_WARNING
"%s: probe of %s failed with error %d/n",
drv->name, dev->bus_id, ret);
}
/*
* Ignore errors returned by ->probe so that the next driver can try
* its luck.
*/
ret = 0;
done:
atomic_dec(&probe_count);
wake_up(&probe_waitqueue);
return ret;
}
此时的drv->bus指向platform_bus_type这一全局变量，其probe回调函数没有指定，而drv->probe函数则指向dm9000_probe。因此转向dm9000_probe执行，并将dm9000_bfin_device做为参数传递进去。
1.4 结论
platform device和driver分别向platform_bus_type这一中介注册，并通过名称进行相互间的匹配。很是有点婚姻中介的味道，还有点对暗号的神秘，呵呵！
