class_create为该设备创建一个class,再为每个设备调用 class_device_create创建对应的设备。大致用法如下:
struct class *myclass = class_create(THIS_MODULE, “my_device_driver”);
class_device_create(myclass, NULL, MKDEV(major_num, 0), NULL, “my_device”);
这样的module被加载时,udev daemon就会自动在/dev下创建my_device设备文件。
class_create()
-------------------------------------------------
linux-2.6.22/include/linux/device.h
struct class *class_create(struct module *owner, const char *name)
class_create - create a struct class structure
@owner: pointer to the module that is to "own" this struct class
@name: pointer to a string for the name of this class.
在/sys/class/下创建类目录
class_device_create()
-------------------------------------------------
linux-2.6.22/include/linux/device.h
struct class_device *class_device_create(struct class *cls,
struct class_device *parent,
dev_t devt,
struct device *device,
const char *fmt, ...)
class_device_create - creates a class device and registers it with sysfs
@cls: pointer to the struct class that this device should be registered to.
@parent: pointer to the parent struct class_device of this new device, if any.
@devt: the dev_t for the char device to be added.
@device: a pointer to a struct device that is assiociated with this class device.
@fmt: string for the class device's name
