本文属于第三部分。
5. SPI设备驱动
在主控制器驱动中,spi_device已经注册了,在设备驱动中,首先要做的就是注册spi_driver,并提供用户层相应的API。
5.1 SPI设备驱动的注册
下列数据结构及函数位于drivers/spi/spidev.c。
static struct file_operations spidev_fops = {该函数中,创建了一个字符设备以提供API给用户层,同时创建了一个spidev类,最后注册spi_driver到内核中。
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
/* REVISIT switch to aio primitives, so that userspace
* gets more complete API coverage. It'll simplify things
* too, except for the locking.
*/
.write = spidev_write,
.read = spidev_read,
.unlocked_ioctl = spidev_ioctl,
.open = spidev_open,
.release = spidev_release,
};
/* The main reason to have this class is to make mdev/udev create the
* /dev/spidevB.C character device nodes exposing our userspace API.
* It also simplifies memory management.
*/
static struct class *spidev_class;
static struct spi_driver spidev_spi = {
.driver = {
.name = "spidev",
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
},
.probe = spidev_probe,
.remove = __devexit_p(spidev_remove),
/* NOTE: suspend/resume methods are not necessary here.
* We don't do anything except pass the requests to/from
* the underlying controller. The refrigerator handles
* most issues; the controller driver handles the rest.
*/
};
static int __init spidev_init(void)
{
int status;
/* Claim our 256 reserved device numbers. Then register a class
* that will key udev/mdev to add/remove /dev nodes. Last, register
* the driver which manages those device numbers.
*/
BUILD_BUG_ON(N_SPI_MINORS > 256);/*检查次设备号*/
status = register_chrdev(SPIDEV_MAJOR, "spi", &spidev_fops); /*注册字符设备,major=153*/
if (status < 0)
return status;
spidev_class = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "spidev");/*创建spidev类*/
if (IS_ERR(spidev_class)) {
unregister_chrdev(SPIDEV_MAJOR, spidev_spi.driver.name);
return PTR_ERR(spidev_class);
}
status = spi_register_driver(&spidev_spi);/*注册spi_driver,并调用probe方法*/
if (status < 0) {
class_destroy(spidev_class);
unregister_chrdev(SPIDEV_MAJOR, spidev_spi.driver.name);
}
return status;
}
module_init(spidev_init);
static void __exit spidev_exit(void)
{
spi_unregister_driver(&spidev_spi);/*注销spi_driver*/
class_destroy(spidev_class);/*注销类*/
unregister_chrdev(SPIDEV_MAJOR, spidev_spi.driver.name);/*注销字符设备*/
}
module_exit(spidev_exit);
在这里我们看到了SPI设备驱动是如何提供API给用户层的,那就是通过再熟悉不过的字符设备。通过字符设备,给用户层提供了5个API:open,release,write,read和ioctl。本文在后面将介绍open和close,剩余3个将在本系列的第四篇文章中介绍。
接着看下spi_register_driver函数, 该函数位于drivers/spi/spidev.c。
/**在调用driver_register的过程中,将用driver.name和spi_device的modalias字段进行比较,两者相等则将该spi_driver和spi_device进行绑定。
* spi_register_driver - register a SPI driver
* @sdrv: the driver to register
* Context: can sleep
*/
int spi_register_driver(struct spi_driver *sdrv)
{
sdrv->driver.bus = &spi_bus_type;
if (sdrv->probe)
sdrv->driver.probe = spi_drv_probe;
if (sdrv->remove)
sdrv->driver.remove = spi_drv_remove;
if (sdrv->shutdown)
sdrv->driver.shutdown = spi_drv_shutdown;
return driver_register(&sdrv->driver);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(spi_register_driver);
当spi_driver注册成功以后,将调用probe方法:spidev_probe函数。
5.2 probe方法
我们来看看spidev_probe这个函数,该函数位于drivers/spi/spidev.c。
#define SPIDEV_MAJOR 153 /* assigned */其中用到的的 struct spidev_data结构如下:
#define N_SPI_MINORS 32 /* ... up to 256 */
static unsigned long minors[N_SPI_MINORS / BITS_PER_LONG]; /**/
static LIST_HEAD(device_list);
static DEFINE_MUTEX(device_list_lock);
static int spidev_probe(struct spi_device *spi)
{
struct spidev_data*spidev;
intstatus;
unsigned longminor;
/* Allocate driver data */
spidev = kzalloc(sizeof(*spidev), GFP_KERNEL);/*以kmalloc分配内存,并清0*/
if (!spidev)
return -ENOMEM;
/* Initialize the driver data */
spidev->spi = spi; /*保存spi_device*/
spin_lock_init(&spidev->spi_lock);/*初始化自旋锁*/
mutex_init(&spidev->buf_lock);/*初始化互斥体*/
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&spidev->device_entry);/*初始化链表头,链表为双向循环链表*/
/* If we can allocate a minor number, hook up this device.
* Reusing minors is fine so long as udev or mdev is working.
*/
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);/*上锁*/
minor = find_first_zero_bit(minors, N_SPI_MINORS);/*分配次设备号*/
if (minor < N_SPI_MINORS) {
struct device *dev;
spidev->devt = MKDEV(SPIDEV_MAJOR, minor);/*根据主次设备号来获取设备号*/
dev = device_create(spidev_class, &spi->dev, spidev->devt,/*创建设备节点*/
spidev, "spidev%d.%d",
spi->master->bus_num, spi->chip_select);
status = IS_ERR(dev) ? PTR_ERR(dev) : 0;
} else {
dev_dbg(&spi->dev, "no minor number available!\n");
status = -ENODEV;
}
if (status == 0) {
set_bit(minor, minors);/*保存已使用的次设备号*/
list_add(&spidev->device_entry, &device_list);/*在链表头list后面添加entry*/
}
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);/*解锁互斥体*/
if (status == 0)
spi_set_drvdata(spi, spidev);/*spi->dev.driver_data=spidev*/
else
kfree(spidev);
return status;
}
struct spidev_data {
dev_t devt;
spinlock_t spi_lock;
struct spi_device *spi;
struct list_head device_entry;
/* buffer is NULL unless this device is open (users > 0) */
struct mutex buf_lock;
unsigned users;
u8 *buffer;
};
这个函数中,分配了spidev_data和次设备号,随后根据主次设备号创建了设备节点。设备节点的名字是spidev“bus_num””.chip_select",意思就是该设备是在第几个SPI接口上的第几个设备。
此外,将spidev添加到device_list中,这样做就方便查找该spidev。
5.3 remove方法
下列函数位于drivers/spi/spidev.c。
static int spidev_remove(struct spi_device *spi)
{
struct spidev_data*spidev = spi_get_drvdata(spi);
/* make sure ops on existing fds can abort cleanly */
spin_lock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);
spidev->spi = NULL;
spi_set_drvdata(spi, NULL);
spin_unlock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);
/* prevent new opens */
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);
list_del(&spidev->device_entry);/*删除entry*/
device_destroy(spidev_class, spidev->devt);/*删除设备节点*/
clear_bit(MINOR(spidev->devt), minors);/*删除使用的次设备号信息*/
if (spidev->users == 0)
kfree(spidev);
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);
return 0;
}
6. open和release
接着来看下open和release系统调用的API接口,其余3个接口将在本系列的第四篇文章中给出。
6.1 open方法
下列函数位于drivers/spi/spidev.c。
static int spidev_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)在这里,以device_list为链表头,遍历所有的spidev_data结构,通过设备节点的设备号和spidev_data中保存的设备号进行匹配,来找到属于该设备节点的spi设备。随后,分配了spi设备驱动层所使用的缓冲区,最后增加打开计数。
{
struct spidev_data*spidev;
intstatus = -ENXIO;
lock_kernel();/*加锁大内核锁,可以睡眠,只能在进程上下文使用*/
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);/*加锁互斥体*/
list_for_each_entry(spidev, &device_list, device_entry) {/*从list开始遍历entry,即遍历所有的spidev*/
if (spidev->devt == inode->i_rdev) {/*判断设备号是否相等*/
status = 0;/*找到匹配的spi设备*/
break;
}
}
if (status == 0) {
/*NOTE:多个程序调用open方法,但他们共享一个buffer,因此对buufer需要进行互斥保护*/
if (!spidev->buffer) {/*buffer为空*/
spidev->buffer = kmalloc(bufsiz, GFP_KERNEL);/*分配buffer缓冲区,默认4KB*/
if (!spidev->buffer) {
dev_dbg(&spidev->spi->dev, "open/ENOMEM\n");
status = -ENOMEM;
}
}
if (status == 0) {
spidev->users++;/*成功open以后,增加用户计数*/
filp->private_data = spidev;/*保存spidev指针*/
nonseekable_open(inode, filp); /*禁用lseek*/
}
} else
pr_debug("spidev: nothing for minor %d\n", iminor(inode));
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);/*释放互斥体*/
unlock_kernel();/*释放大内核锁*/
return status;
}
6.2 release方法
下列函数位于drivers/spi/spidev.c。
static int spidev_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
{
struct spidev_data*spidev;
intstatus = 0;
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);/*加锁互斥体*/
spidev = filp->private_data;/*获取spidev*/
filp->private_data = NULL;
/* last close? */
spidev->users--;/*关闭设备文件,减少用户计数*/
if (!spidev->users) {/*如果用户数为0*/
intdofree;
kfree(spidev->buffer);/*释放缓冲区*/
spidev->buffer = NULL;
/* ... after we unbound from the underlying device? */
spin_lock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);/*加锁互斥体*/
dofree = (spidev->spi == NULL);/*????*/
spin_unlock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);/*释放互斥体*/
if (dofree)
kfree(spidev);/*释放spidev,在probe中分配*/
}
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);/*释放互斥体*/
return status;
}
至此,对于protocol驱动层的框架进行了简单的分析,在下一篇将对该驱动层很多未分析的函数进行一一讲解。下一篇的内容非常的重要哦。
