前言
在linux驱动中,需要提供主设备号和次设备号号,通常使用的主设备号是从
0到 255之间的数,仅仅使用主设备号,还是不叫紧张的,因此需要利用次设备号。
linux中,提供了miscdevice这种杂项设备,指定主设备号为10,次设备号可以设置为
系统动态分配。
在具体分析miscdevice之前,先给出miscdevice的核心设计思想。
应用层,打开/dev/xxx 节点,会得到 文件描述符 fd,通过fd,可以执行 read()、
wriete()、ioctl()、mmap()等对这个文件的操作。
应用层调用 open()函数,经过系统调用后,会调用驱动程序的 open()函数。 在前边分析
调用过程时,分析过这个open()的调用过程。
驱动程序中,调用file_opeartions的open()的时候,此时,调用到另外一个 file_operations的
open(),此时应用层会得到这个open()时的 文件描述符fd,此时应用层 read()、write()等操作,
就调用到了这个file_operations。故在cdev_init时的 fops 充当一个中转的作用,转到具体的
fops 来操作。

关键的代码是
file->f_op = &fops;
return file->f_op->open(inode,file) ;
将变量 fops 赋值给了 file 的 f_op (const struct file_operations *f_op;)
在返回的时候,调用这个file->f_op-open,其实质是调用到 fops的open()。
这样的一种方式,实现了 中转的作用。 利用这种中转,可以进行代码的分层,在通用层中
实现抽象的open(),在具体的设备中,实现具体的open()、read()、write()。
miscdevice分析
miscdevice 结构体
struct miscdevice {
int minor; //次设备号 通常为MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR 动态分配
const char *name; //设备为的名字
const struct file_operations *fops;//函数操作集
struct list_head list;
struct device *parent;
struct device *this_device;
const char *nodename;
umode_t mode;

1.利用链表,进行存储具体的设备
2.使用open时的中转功能
3.通用层: miscdevice,提供结构体、创建类,提供创建设备的核心函数
具体设备层: 填充结构题,实现具体功能; 利用提供的核心函数实现注册设备 。
