一、kset结构定义
kset结构体定义在include/linux/kobject.h文件中,其内容如下:
142/** 143 * struct kset - a set of kobjects of a specific type, belonging to a specific subsystem. 144 * 145 * A kset defines a group of kobjects. They can be individually 146 * different "types" but overall these kobjects all want to be grouped 147 * together and operated on in the same manner. ksets are used to 148 * define the attribute callbacks and other common events that happen to 149 * a kobject. 150 * 151 * @list: the list of all kobjects for this kset 152 * @list_lock: a lock for iterating over the kobjects 153 * @kobj: the embedded kobject for this kset (recursion, isn't it fun...) 154 * @uevent_ops: the set of uevent operations for this kset. These are 155 * called whenever a kobject has something happen to it so that the kset 156 * can add new environment variables, or filter out the uevents if so 157 * desired. 158 */ 159struct kset { 160 struct list_head list; 161 spinlock_t list_lock; 162 struct kobject kobj; 163 const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops; 164};
从注释可以看出,kset是一组kobject的集合,这些kobject可以具有不同的“types”,下面来看kset的成员变量:
list用于将该kset下的所有kobject链接成一个链表。
list_lock是一个自旋锁,在遍历该kset下的kobject时用来加锁。
kobj是代表该kset的一个kobject。
uevent_ops是一组函数指针,当kset中的某个kobject状态发生变化需要通知用户空间时,就通过这些函数来完成。uevent_ops是struct kset_uevent_ops类型,该结构体定义在include/linux/kobject.h文件中,其定义如下:
123struct kset_uevent_ops { 124 int (* const filter)(struct kset *kset, struct kobject *kobj); 125 const char *(* const name)(struct kset *kset, struct kobject *kobj); 126 int (* const uevent)(struct kset *kset, struct kobject *kobj, 127 struct kobj_uevent_env *env); 128};
关于kset_uevent_ops结构体中的成员函数的作用,我们后面再分析。
二、kset的创建和注册
要创建并注册一个kset,使用的是kset_create_and_add函数,该函数定义在lib/kobject.c文件中,其内容如下:
827/** 828 * kset_create_and_add - create a struct kset dynamically and add it to sysfs 829 * 830 * @name: the name for the kset 831 * @uevent_ops: a struct kset_uevent_ops for the kset 832 * @parent_kobj: the parent kobject of this kset, if any. 833 * 834 * This function creates a kset structure dynamically and registers it 835 * with sysfs. When you are finished with this structure, call 836 * kset_unregister() and the structure will be dynamically freed when it 837 * is no longer being used. 838 * 839 * If the kset was not able to be created, NULL will be returned. 840 */ 841struct kset *kset_create_and_add(const char *name, 842 const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops, 843 struct kobject *parent_kobj) 844{ 845 struct kset *kset; 846 int error; 847 848 kset = kset_create(name, uevent_ops, parent_kobj); 849 if (!kset) 850 return NULL; 851 error = kset_register(kset); 852 if (error) { 853 kfree(kset); 854 return NULL; 855 } 856 return kset; 857}
828行,从注释可以看出,kset_create_and_add函数的作用是动态创建一个kset结构并把它注册到sysfs文件系统中。注意该函数的三个参数:
name是kset的名字,它会被赋值给kset.kobj.name。
uevent_ops是struct kset_uevent_ops变量,它会被赋值给kset.uevent_ops。
parent_kobj是该kset的父kobject,它会被赋值给kset.kobj.parent。
848行,调用kset_create函数动态创建kset结构并对其进行初始化,该函数定义在lib/kobject.c文件中,其内容如下:
783/** 784 * kset_create - create a struct kset dynamically 785 * 786 * @name: the name for the kset 787 * @uevent_ops: a struct kset_uevent_ops for the kset 788 * @parent_kobj: the parent kobject of this kset, if any. 789 * 790 * This function creates a kset structure dynamically. This structure can 791 *
