linux提供了新的设备模型:总线(bus)、设备(device)、驱动(driver)。其中总线是处理器与设备之间通道,在设备模型中,所有的设备都通过总线相连;设备是对于一个设备的详细信息描述,驱动是设备的相关驱动。其基本关系如下:bus 相当于一个容器,是device 和device_driver 的管理机构,它包含了一个device 集合和一个driver 集合。其中,device集合包含了挂在该总线下的所有设备,这些设备通过链表链接起来;driver集合包含了挂在该总线下的所有驱动程序,这些驱动程序通过链表链接起来。
1.总线bus
总线是处理器和设备之间的通道,在设备模型中,所有的设备都通过总线相连,甚至是内部的虚拟“platform”总线。在Linux设备模型中,总线由bus_type结构表示,定义在<linux/device.h>
struct bus_type { const char *name;/*总线名称*/ const char *dev_name;//用于subsystems枚举设备 struct device *dev_root;//默认的父设备 struct bus_attribute *bus_attrs;/*总线属性*/ struct device_attribute *dev_attrs;//设备属性 struct driver_attribute *drv_attrs;//驱动属性 int (*match)(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv); int (*uevent)(struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env); 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); const struct dev_pm_ops *pm; struct iommu_ops *iommu_ops; struct subsys_private *p; };
总线注册/删除
总线的注册使用:bus_register(struct bus_type * bus) 若成功,新的总线将被添加进系统,并可在sysfs 的/sys/bus 下看到。
总线的删除使用:void bus_unregister(struct bus_type *bus)
总线方法
int (*match)(struct device * dev,struct device_driver * drv) 当一个新设备或者驱动被添加到这个总线时,该方法被调用。用于判断指定的驱动程序是否能处理指定的设备。若可以,则返回非零值。
int (*uevent)(struct device *dev,char **envp,int num_envp,char *buffer,int buffer_size) 在为用户空间产生热插拔事件之前,这个方法允许总线添加环境变量。
总线属性
总线属性由结构bus_attribute 描述,定义如下:
struct bus_attribute { struct attribute attr; ssize_t (*show)(struct bus_type *bus, char *buf); ssize_t (*store)(struct bus_type *bus, const char *buf, size_t count); };
属性方法:
int bus_create_file(struct bus_type *bus,struct bus_attribute *attr) 创建属性
void bus_remove_file(struct bus_type*bus,struct bus_attribute *attr) 删除属性
2.关于设备device
struct device { struct device *parent;/*设备的"父"设备,该设备所属的设备,通常一个父设 备是某种总线或者主控制器。如果parent 是NULL, 则该设备是顶层设备,较少见*/ struct device_private *p;/*该设备驱动使用的私有数据成员*/ struct kobject kobj;/*内嵌的kobject*/ const char *init_name; /* initial name of the device */ const struct device_type *type;//设备类型,用于识别设备类型和携带特定类型的信息。 struct mutex mutex; /* mutex 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 *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device core doesn't touch it */ struct dev_pm_info power; struct dev_pm_domain *pm_domain; #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 device_dma_parameters *dma_parms; struct list_head dma_pools; /* dma pools (if dma'ble) */ struct dma_coherent_mem *dma_mem; /* internal for coherent mem override */ #ifdef CONFIG_CMA struct cma *cma_area; /* contiguous memory area for dma allocations */ #endif /* arch specific additions */ struct dev_archdata archdata; struct device_node *of_node; /* associated device tree node */ dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */ u32 id; /* device instance */ spinlock_t devres_lock; struct list_head devres_head; struct klist_node knode_class; struct class *class; const struct attribute_group **groups; /* optional groups */ void (*release)(struct device *dev); struct iommu_group *iommu_group; };
注册设备:int device_register(sruct device *dev)
注销设备:void device_unregister(struct device *dev);
设备属性
设备属性由struct device_attribute 描述:
struct device_attribute { struct attribute attr; ssize_t (*show)(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf); ssize_t (*store)(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t count); };
创建属性:int device_create_file(struct device*device, struct device_attribute * entry)
删除属性:void device_remove_file(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute * attr)
3.关于驱动driver
struct device_driver { const char *name;/*驱动程序的名字( 体现在sysfs 中)*/ struct bus_type *bus;/*驱动程序所在的总线*/ struct module *owner; const char *mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */ bool suppress_bind_attrs; /* disables bind/unbind via sysfs */ const struct of_device_id *of_match_table; 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); const struct attribute_group **groups; const struct dev_pm_ops *pm; struct driver_private *p; };
驱动注册/注销
int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv) 注册驱动
void driver_unregister(struct device_driver *drv) 注销驱动
驱动的属性使用struct driver_attribute 来描述:
struct driver_attribute { struct attribute attr; ssize_t (*show)(struct device_driver *driver, char *buf); ssize_t (*store)(struct device_driver *driver, const char *buf, size_t count); };
创建属性int driver_create_file(struct device_driver * drv,struct driver_attribute * attr)
删除属性:void driver_remove_file(struct device_driver * drv,struct driver_attribute * attr)
