linux 有名管道FIFO

linux文件主要有4种：普通文件、目录文件、设备文件（字符设备文件/块设备文件)、管道文件

 

管道文件(p表示管道文件)

[redhat@localhost tmp]$ mkfifo fifo
[redhat@localhost tmp]$ ll fifo
prw-rw-r--. 1 redhat redhat 0  7月  1 22:06 fifo

文件系统(ext4/ext3/nfs)中存在管道文件，所以就通过文件名称来标识管道文件及其关联的管道FIFO；所以有名管道就可以在非亲子关系的进程间实现通信，一个进程通过文件名打开管道的写端，另一个进程通过文件名打开管道的读端，两个进程就可以通过该FIFO实现通信。

 

I.def_fifo_fops
def_fifo_fops表示管道文件的操作集，定义如下：

/* fs/fifo.c */
148 /*
149  * Dummy default file-operations: the only thing this does
150  * is contain the open that then fills in the correct operations
151  * depending on the access mode of the file...
152  */
153 const struct file_operations def_fifo_fops = {
154         .open           = fifo_open,    /* will set read_ or write_pipefifo_fops */
155 };

当打开管道文件时会触发def_fifo_fops中的open方法fifo_open，代码跟踪如下：
文件方法集：
  open->do_sys_open->do_filp_open->path_lookup_open->do_path_lookup->path_walk->link_path_walk->__link_path_walk->do_lookup->real_lookup
  ext4为例：
  ext4_lookup->ext4_iget->init_special_inode->def_fifo_fops
open回调：
open->do_sys_open->do_filp_open->nameidata_to_filp->__dentry_open->fifo_open

1.获取管道互斥锁，进入管道操作临界区
2.如果文件未与管道关联，则创建管道并将管道文件与管道关联起来
3.判断文件的打开方式：
  *如果是只读方式打开管道文件
    A.将管道文件操作赋为read_pipefifo_fops，即只读管道不能有写管道操作，否则报错EBADF
    B.管道读者计数器加1
    C.管道当前读者计数器加1，如果以前没有读者，则尝试唤醒被阻塞的写者进程
    D.如果管道没有写者进程
      a.如果文件以NONBLOCK方式打开，则同步f_version与w_counter，用于抑制POLLHUP直到有写者出现
      b.否则阻塞读者进程，直到有写者进程出现或有信号产生；如果是产生信号而被唤醒，则管道当前读者计数器减1，如果没有读者了则唤醒管道中被阻塞的进程，并返回ERESTARTSYS，内核处理完信号后再自动重启open；如果是有写者进程出现而被唤醒，则正常返回
  *如果是只写方式打开管道文件
    A.如果以NONBLOCK方式打开管道文件，且管道没有读者，则返回ENXIO错误
    B.将管道文件操作赋为write_pipefifo_fops，即只写管道不能有读管道操作，否则报错EBADF
    C.管道写者计数器加1
    D.管道当前写者计数器加1，如果以前没有写者，则尝试唤醒被阻塞的读者进程
    E.如果管道没有读者进程,阻塞写者进程，直到有读者进程出现或有信号产生；如果是产生信号而被唤醒，则管道当前写者计数器减1，如果没有写者了则唤醒管道中被阻塞的进程，并返回ERESTARTSYS，内核处理完信号后再自动重启open；如果是有读者进程出现而被唤醒，则正常返回
  *如果是读写方式打开管道文件
    B.将管道文件操作赋为rdwr_pipefifo_fops，表示管道既能写也能读
    B.将管道当前读者计数器，管道当前写者计数器，管道读者计数器，管道写者计数器分别加1
    C.如果以前没有读者/写者，尝试唤醒被阻塞的写者/读者进程
4.释放管道互斥锁，即出管道操作临界区
