inode 结构由内核在内部用来表示文件. 因此, 它和代表打开文件描述符的文
件结构是不同的. 可能有代表单个文件的多个打开描述符的许多文件结构, 但
是它们都指向一个单个 inode 结构.

3.4 字符设备的注册
内核在内部使用类型 struct cdev 的结构来代表字符设备. 在内核调用你的设备操作前, 你编写分配并注册一个或几个这些结构.为此,你的代码应当包含 , 这个结构和它的关联帮助函数定义在这里.（原话）。
|
struct cdev {
struct kobject kobj;
struct module *owner; //所属模块
const struct file_operations *ops;
//文件操作结构，在写驱动时，其结构体内的大部分函数要被实现
struct list_head list;
dev_t dev; //设备号，int 类型，高12位为主设备号，低20位为次设备号
unsigned int count;
};
//独立初始化cdev
struct cdev *my_cdev = cdev_alloc();
my_cdev->ops = &my_fops;
//通知内核
int cdev_add(struct cdev *dev, dev_t num, unsigned int count);

scull 中的设备注册
|
struct scull_dev {
struct scull_qset *data; /* Pointer to first quantum set */
int quantum; /* the current quantum size */
int qset; /* the current array size */
unsigned long size; /* amount of data stored here */
unsigned int access_key; /* used by sculluid and scullpriv */
struct semaphore sem; /* mutual exclusion semaphore */
struct cdev cdev; /* Char device structure */
};
|
我们关注于 cdev, 我们的设备与内核接口的 struct cdev. 这个结构必须初始化并且如上所述添加到系统中; 处理这个任务的 scull 代码是:
|
static void scull_setup_cdev(struct scull_dev *dev, int index)
{
int err, devno = MKDEV(scull_major, scull_minor + index);
cdev_init(&dev->cdev, &scull_fops);
dev->cdev.owner = THIS_MODULE;
dev->cdev.ops = &scull_fops;
err = cdev_add (&dev->cdev, devno, 1);
/* Fail gracefully if need be */
if (err)
printk(KERN_NOTICE "Error %d adding scull%d", err, index);
}
|
因为 cdev 结构嵌在 struct scull_dev 里面, cdev_init 必须调用来进行那个结构的初始化.
