浅析ethx网卡控制函数ioctl实现具体流程
====================
1.应用层程序iwpriv
wireless tools网络配置应用程序iwpriv命令格式:
iwpriv ethX private-command [parameters]
iwpriv部分实现源码如下:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
...
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
...
ioctl(sockfd, ioctl_val, &iwr);//将控制命令通过ioctl发送到无线网卡
...
}
====================
2.系统调用sys_ioctl
应用层通过ioctl(sockfd, ioctl_val, &iwr);触发sys_ioctl系统调用,实际流程:
sys_ioctl=>vfs_ioctl=>do_ioctl=最后调用
filp->f_op->unlocked_ioctl执行具体的ioctl操作,该操作就是sock_ioctl,至于为什么是sock_ioctl,后边作了进一步分析
sock_ioctl=>
{
...
#ifdef CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT
if (cmd >= SIOCIWFIRST && cmd <= SIOCIWLAST) {
err = dev_ioctl(net, cmd, argp);//
} else
#endif
...
}
dev_ioctl=>wext_handle_ioctl
{
...
/* Take care of Wireless Extensions */
if (cmd >= SIOCIWFIRST && cmd <= SIOCIWLAST)
return wext_handle_ioctl(net, &ifr, cmd, arg);
...
}
wext_handle_ioctl=>wireless_process_ioctl=>
然后通过if ((dev = __dev_get_by_name(net, ifr->ifr_name)) == NULL)函数,
从系统管理的net链表中,把ioctl指定的ethX对应的struct net_device摘出来,
最后调用ioctl_private_call(handler)或者调用dev->do_ioctl(dev, ifr, cmd)来处理该ioctl,
这两个函数分别指向wlan_handler_def和wlan_do_ioctl
====================
3.wifi网卡是怎么登记到kernel上的
wlan_probe()=>wlan_add_card()=>alloc_etherdev()=>
之后将操作方法添加到struct net_device *dev=alloc_etherdev()申请的dev上去,其中包括:
...
/* Setup the OS Interface to our functions */
dev->open = wlan_open;
dev->hard_start_xmit = wlan_hard_start_xmit;
dev->stop = wlan_close;
dev->do_ioctl = wlan_do_ioctl;
dev->set_mac_address = wlan_set_mac_address;
dev->tx_timeout = wlan_tx_timeout;
dev->get_stats = wlan_get_stats;
dev->watchdog_timeo = MRVDRV_DEFAULT_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT;
dev->wireless_handlers = (struct iw_handler_def *) &wlan_handler_def;
dev->set_multicast_list = wlan_set_multicast_list;
...
4.socket系统调用如何关联上ioctl和ethX设备
asmlinkage long sys_socket(int family, int type, int protocol);
sys_socket=>sock_create=>__sock_create=>sock = sock_alloc();通过sock_mnt->mnt_sb从socket文件系统的超级块上申请一个inode节点,这样也就同时获得了由该inode描述的一个sock结构体单元,所以sokcet和dentry目录项等效,
接下来从net_families全局管理结构体中找到当前family对应的ops操作集,
net_proto_family *pf=net_families[family];
pf->create(net, sock, protocol);//核心调用,对于ipv4,就是inet_create
以ipv4为例
static struct net_proto_family inet_family_ops = {
.family = PF_INET,
.create = inet_create,
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
};
还记得上面应用层创建sokcet的函数吧,
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);//AF_INET虽然等于PF_INET,但是因为种种原因我们提倡使用PF_INET
可见family等于AF_INET,type等于SOCK_STREAM,协议protocol为0,也就是采用IP协议,
inet_create=>inetsw[sock->type]也就是inetsw[SOCK_STREAM],
从inetsw[sock->type]中找到已经登记的protocol网络协议处理函数,
inetsw[]是怎么填充的呢?inet_init()=>inet_register_protosw(inetsw_array)=>这样inetsw_array中的所有protocol处理模块都将登记到inetsw中了,
static struct inet_protosw inetsw_array[] =
{
{
.type = SOCK_STREAM,
.protocol = IPPROTO_TCP,
.prot = &tcp_prot,
.ops = &inet_stream_ops,
.capability = -1,
.no_check = 0,
.flags = INET_PROTOSW_PERMANENT | INET_PROTOSW_ICSK,
},
{
.type = SOCK_DGRAM,
.protocol = IPPROTO_UDP,
.prot = &udp_prot,
.ops = &inet_dgram_ops,
.capability = -1,
.no_check = UDP_CSUM_DEFAULT,
.flags = INET_PROTOSW_PERMANENT,
},
{
.type = SOCK_RAW,
.protocol = IPPROTO_IP, /* wild card */
.prot = &raw_prot,
.ops = &inet_sockraw_ops,
.capability = CAP_NET_RAW,
.no_check = UDP_CSUM_DEFAULT,
.flags = INET_PROTOSW_REUSE,
}
};
至于inet_init,则是以fs_initcall(inet_init)方式,以5号优先级被build in到了内核中,当kernel启动时会在start_kernel=>rest_init=>kernel_init=>do_basic_setup=>do_initcalls中依据优先级号优先于其他module驱动被调用.
这样sock->ops = answer->ops;对于ipv4也就等于inet_stream_ops,
接下来就是将ops填充到file操作指针中了,
sys_socket=>sock_map_fd=>sock_attach_fd=>
dentry->d_op = &sockfs_dentry_operations;
init_file(file, sock_mnt, dentry, FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE, &socket_file_ops);
file->private_data = sock;
其中init_file=>file->f_op = fop;也就是file->f_op = socket_file_ops;
所以read(),wirte(),poll()和ioctl()应用程序调用的file->f_op就是socket_file_ops了,
比如:
read()对应sock_aio_read网络异步读
write()对应sock_aio_write网络异步写
ioctl()对应sock_ioctl
socket_file_ops结构体具体实现如下:
static const struct file_operations socket_file_ops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.llseek = no_llseek,
.aio_read = sock_aio_read,
.aio_write = sock_aio_write,
.poll = sock_poll,
.unlocked_ioctl = sock_ioctl,
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
.compat_ioctl = compat_sock_ioctl,
#endif
.mmap = sock_mmap,
.open = sock_no_open, /* special open code to disallow open via /proc */
.release = sock_close,
.fasync = sock_fasync,
.sendpage = sock_sendpage,
.splice_write = generic_splice_sendpage,
};
网卡控制因为涉及到的知识点比较多,上面只是从宏观上对数据流程做了一个简单的介绍,深入到其中的每个知识点,都会牵扯出一系列文章,读者需要自己去一个个的慢慢深入,希望本文能够对刚刚接触网络驱动的读者有所帮助和启发【gliethttp.Leith】
