原文地址:I2C设备与驱动的关联 作者:zhiqiang0071
在Linux操作系统中,驱动程序的加载分为两种:内核启动时自动加载和用户手动加载;硬件设备也可以采用两种方式添加到系统中:在系统启动前及系统运行时的热插拨。下面,我们以arm体系结构下的at91处理器中的I2C控制器为例,介绍一下硬件设备及相关的驱动程序是如何绑定及松绑的。
平台驱动注册过程
1.1 at91_i2c_init()函数 在文件drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c中,定义了结构体struct platform_driver并进行了初始化,通过使用module_init()宏进行声明,当模块被加载到内核时会调用 at91_i2c_init()函数。在此函数中,调用了platform_driver_register()函数来完成注册。 static struct platform_driver at91_i2c_driver = { .probe = at91_i2c_probe, .remove = __devexit_p(at91_i2c_remove), .suspend = at91_i2c_suspend, .resume = at91_i2c_resume, .driver = { .name = "at91_i2c", .owner = THIS_MODULE, }, }; static int __init at91_i2c_init(void) { return platform_driver_register(&at91_i2c_driver); } 1.2 platform_driver_register()函数 在文件drivers/base/platform.c中,实现并导出了platform_driver_register()函数,以便使其他模块中的函数可以调用此函数。它在完成简单的包装后,调用了driver_register()函数,完成了从平台实现到Linux内核实现的过渡。 在此,我们需要关注一下platform_match()和platform_drv_probe()函数。platform_match() 函数确定驱动与设备的关联,而platform_drv_probe()函数会在随后介绍的函数中被调用。 //比较驱动信息中的name与设备信息中的name两者是否一致 static int platform_match(struct device * dev, struct device_driver * drv) { struct platform_device *pdev = container_of(dev, struct platform_device, dev); return (strncmp(pdev->name, drv->name, BUS_ID_SIZE) == 0); } struct bus_type platform_bus_type = { .name = "platform", .dev_attrs = platform_dev_attrs, .match = platform_match, .uevent = platform_uevent, .suspend = platform_suspend, .suspend_late = platform_suspend_late, .resume_early = platform_resume_early, .resume = platform_resume, }; EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus_type); /** * platform_driver_register * @drv: platform driver structure */ int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv) { drv->driver.bus = &platform_bus_type; //在really_probe函数中,回调了platform_drv_probe函数 if (drv->probe) drv->driver.probe = platform_drv_probe; if (drv->remove) drv->driver.remove = platform_drv_remove; if (drv->shutdown) drv->driver.shutdown = platform_drv_shutdown; if (drv->suspend) drv->driver.suspend = platform_drv_suspend; if (drv->resume) drv->driver.resume = platform_drv_resume; return driver_register(&drv->driver); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_driver_register); 1.3 driver_register()函数 在文件drivers/base/driver.c中,实现了driver_register()函数。在此函数中,初始化结构体struct device_driver中的klist_device和unloaded字段,通过klist_device字段,可以保存此驱动支持的设备链表,通过“完成”接口机制,完成线程间的同步。链表和“完成”接口的详细信息可以参考文献[1]。返回bus_add_driver()函数的运行结果。 /** * driver_register - register driver with bus * @drv: driver to register * * We pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver() call, * since most of the things we have to do deal with the bus * structures. * * The one interesting aspect is that we setup @drv->unloaded * as a completion that gets complete when the driver reference * count reaches 0. */ int driver_register(struct device_driver * drv) { if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) || (drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) || (drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown)) { printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use bus_type methods\n", drv->name); } klist_init(&drv->klist_devices, NULL, NULL); init_completion(&drv->unloaded); return bus_add_driver(drv); } 1.4 bus_add_driver()函数 在文件drivers/base/bus.c中实现了bus_add_driver()函数,它通过语句klist_add_tail(&drv->knode_bus, &bus->klist_drivers); 将驱动信息保存到总线结构中,在设备注册过程中,我们就可以明白此语句的作用了。在此语句之前,调用了driver_attach()函数。 /** * bus_add_driver - Add a driver to the bus. * @drv: driver. * */ int bus_add_driver(struct device_driver *drv) { struct bus_type * bus = get_bus(drv->bus); int error = 0; if (!bus) return 0; pr_debug("bus %s: add driver %s\n", bus->name, drv->name); error = kobject_set_name(&drv->kobj, "%s", drv->name); if (error) goto out_put_bus; drv->kobj.kset = &bus->drivers; if ((error = kobject_register(&drv->kobj))) goto out_put_bus; error = driver_attach(drv); if (error) goto out_unregister; klist_add_tail(&drv->knode_bus, &bus->klist_drivers); module_add_driver(drv->owner, drv); error = driver_add_attrs(bus, drv); if (error) { /* How the hell do we get out of this pickle? Give up */ printk(KERN_ERR "%s: driver_add_attrs(%s) failed\n", __FUNCTION__, drv->name); } error = add_bind_files(drv); if (error) { /* Ditto */ printk(KERN_ERR "%s: add_bind_files(%s) failed\n", __FUNCTION__, drv->name); } return error; out_unregister: kobject_unregister(&drv->kobj); out_put_bus: put_bus(bus); return error; } 1.5 dd.c文件 在文件drivers/base/dd.c中,实现了设备与驱动交互的核心函数。 1.5.1 driver_attach()函数 函数driver_attach()返回bus_for_each_dev()函数的运行结果。bus_for_each_dev()函数的原型如下: int bus_for_each_dev(struct bus_type *bus, struct device *start, void *data, int (*fn) (struct device *, void *)); 该函数迭代了在总线上的每个设备,将相关的device结构传递给fn,同时传递data值。如果start是NULL,将从总线上的第一个设备开始迭代;否则将从start后的第一个设备开始迭代。如果fn返回一个非零值,将停止迭代,而这个值也会从该函数返回(摘自<设备驱动程序 >>第三版)。 该函数是如何知道总线上的每个设备的呢?在设备注册过程中,我会详细介绍。 /* * drivers/base/dd.c - The core device/driver interactions. * * This file contains the (sometimes tricky) code that controls the * interactions between devices and drivers, which primarily includes * driver binding and unbinding. */ /** * driver_attach - try to bind driver to devices. * @drv: driver. * * Walk the list of devices that the bus has on it and try to * match the driver with each one. If driver_probe_device() * returns 0 and the @dev->driver is set, we've found a * compatible pair. */ int driver_attach(struct device_driver * drv) { return bus_for_each_dev(drv->bus, NULL, drv, __driver_attach); } 1.5.2 __driver_attach()函数 函数__driver_attach()在调用driver_probe_device()函数前,需要进行线程间的互斥处理。 static int __driver_attach(struct device * dev, void * data) { struct device_driver * drv = data; /* * Lock device and try to bind to it. We drop the error * here and always return 0, because we need to keep trying * to bind to devices and some drivers will return an error * simply if it didn't support the device. * * driver_probe_device() will spit a warning if there * is an error. */ if (dev->parent) /* Needed for USB */ down(&dev->parent->sem); down(&dev->sem); if (!dev->driver) driver_probe_device(drv, dev); up(&dev->sem); if (dev->parent) up(&dev->parent->sem); return 0; } 1.5.3 driver_probe_device()函数 在driver_probe_device()函数中,调用了match函数platform_match(),如果它返回0,表示驱动与设备不一致,函数返回;否则,调用really_probe()函数。 /** * driver_probe_device - attempt to bind device & driver together * @drv: driver to bind a device to * @dev: device to try to bind to the driver * * First, we call the bus's match function, if one present, which should * compare the device IDs the driver supports with the device IDs of the * device. Note we don't do this ourselves because we don't know the * format of the ID structures, nor what is to be considered a match and * what is not. * * This function returns 1 if a match is found, an error if one occurs * (that is not -ENODEV or -ENXIO), and 0 otherwise. * * This function must be called with @dev->sem held. When called for a * USB interface, @dev->parent->sem must be held as well. */ int driver_probe_device(struct device_driver * drv, struct device * dev) { struct stupid_thread_structure *data; struct task_struct *probe_task; int ret = 0; if (!device_is_registered(dev)) return -ENODEV; if (drv->bus->match && !drv->bus->match(dev, drv)) goto done; pr_debug("%s: Matched Device %s with Driver %s\n", drv->bus->name, dev->bus_id, drv->name); data = kmalloc(sizeof(*data), GFP_KERNEL); if (!data) return -ENOMEM; data->drv = drv; data->dev = dev; if (drv->multithread_probe) { probe_task = kthread_run(really_probe, data, "probe-%s", dev->bus_id); if (IS_ERR(probe_task)) ret = really_probe(data); } else ret = really_probe(data); done: return ret; } struct stupid_thread_structure { struct device_driver *drv; struct device *dev; }; 1.5.4 really_probe()函数 在really_probe()函数中,实现了设备与驱动的绑定。语句如下:dev->driver = drv;和 ret = drv->probe(dev); probe()函数的实现如下: include/linux/platform_device.h #define to_platform_device(x) container_of((x), struct platform_device, dev) drivers/base/platform.c #define to_platform_driver(drv) (container_of((drv), struct platform_driver, driver)) static int platform_drv_probe(struct device *_dev) { struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver); struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev); return drv->probe(dev); } 在此函数中,回调了我们在i2c-at91.c文件中实现的探测函数at91_i2c_probe(),至此,平台驱动的注册过程结束。 static atomic_t probe_count = ATOMIC_INIT(0); static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(probe_waitqueue); static int really_probe(void *void_data) { struct stupid_thread_structure *data = void_data; struct device_driver *drv = data->drv; struct device *dev = data->dev; int ret = 0; atomic_inc(&probe_count); pr_debug("%s: Probing driver %s with device %s\n", drv->bus->name, drv->name, dev->bus_id); WARN_ON(!list_empty(&dev->devres_head)); dev->driver = drv; if (driver_sysfs_add(dev)) { printk(KERN_ERR "%s: driver_sysfs_add(%s) failed\n", __FUNCTION__, dev->bus_id); goto probe_failed; } if (dev->bus->probe) { ret = dev->bus->probe(dev); if (ret) goto probe_failed; } else if (drv->probe) { ret = drv->probe(dev); if (ret) goto probe_failed; } //设备与驱动绑定后,对系统中已注册的组件进行事件通知。 driver_bound(dev); ret = 1; pr_debug("%s: Bound Device %s to Driver %s\n", drv->bus->name, dev->bus_id, drv->name); goto done; probe_failed: devres_release_all(dev); driver_sysfs_remove(dev); dev->driver = NULL; if (ret != -ENODEV && ret != -ENXIO) { /* driver matched but the probe failed */ printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: probe of %s failed with error %d\n", drv->name, dev->bus_id, ret); } /* * Ignore errors returned by ->probe so that the next driver can try * its luck. */ ret = 0; done: kfree(data); atomic_dec(&probe_count); wake_up(&probe_waitqueue); return ret; }
平台驱动卸载过程
平台驱动卸载过程是注册的逆过程,详细信息可参考注册过程进行分析。 2.1 at91_i2c_exit()函数 static void __exit at91_i2c_exit(void) { platform_driver_unregister(&at91_i2c_driver); } 2.2 platform_driver_unregister()函数 /** * platform_driver_unregister * @drv: platform driver structure */ void platform_driver_unregister(struct platform_driver *drv) { driver_unregister(&drv->driver); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_driver_unregister); 2.3 driver_unregister()函数 /** * driver_unregister - remove driver from system. * @drv: driver. * * Again, we pass off most of the work to the bus-level call. * * Though, once that is done, we wait until @drv->unloaded is completed. * This will block until the driver refcount reaches 0, and it is * released.

Finally, we drop the reference * to the bus we took in bus_add_driver(). */ void bus_remove_driver(struct device_driver * drv) { if (!drv->bus) return; remove_bind_files(drv); driver_remove_attrs(drv->bus, drv); klist_remove(&drv->knode_bus); pr_debug("bus %s: remove driver %s\n", drv->bus->name, drv->name); driver_detach(drv); module_remove_driver(drv); kobject_unregister(&drv->kobj); put_bus(drv->bus); } 2.5 driver_detach()函数 /** * driver_detach - detach driver from all devices it controls. * @drv: driver. */ void driver_detach(struct device_driver * drv) { struct device * dev; for (;;) { spin_lock(&drv->klist_devices.k_lock); if (list_empty(&drv->klist_devices.k_list)) { spin_unlock(&drv->klist_devices.k_lock); break; } dev = list_entry(drv->klist_devices.k_list.prev, struct device, knode_driver.n_node); get_device(dev); spin_unlock(&drv->klist_devices.k_lock); if (dev->parent) /* Needed for USB */ down(&dev->parent->sem); down(&dev->sem); if (dev->driver == drv) __device_release_driver(dev); up(&dev->sem); if (dev->parent) up(&dev->parent->sem); put_device(dev); } } 2.6 __device_release_driver()函数 /** * device_release_driver - manually detach device from driver. * @dev: device. * * Manually detach device from driver. * * __device_release_driver() must be called with @dev->sem held. * When called for a USB interface, @dev->parent->sem must be held * as well. */ static void __device_release_driver(struct device * dev) { struct device_driver * drv; drv = dev->driver; if (drv) { get_driver(drv); driver_sysfs_remove(dev); sysfs_remove_link(&dev->kobj, "driver"); klist_remove(&dev->knode_driver); if (dev->bus) blocking_notifier_call_chain(&dev->bus->bus_notifier, BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER, dev); if (dev->bus && dev->bus->remove) dev->bus->remove(dev); else if (drv->remove) drv->remove(dev); devres_release_all(dev); dev->driver = NULL; put_driver(drv); } } 2.7 platform_drv_remove()函数 static int platform_drv_remove(struct device *_dev) { struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver); struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev); return drv->remove(dev); } 在此函数中,回调了我们在i2c-at91.c文件中实现的移除函数at91_i2c_remove(),至此,平台驱动的卸载过程结束。 在注册和卸载过程中,Linux采用了一些变量来保存相关的信息,比如引用计数、通知链等,感兴趣的人员,可以详细的阅读此部分内容。
