简单分析了链路层之后，上升到网络层来分析，看看链路层是如何为其上层--网络层服务的。其实在驱动程序层和网络层直接还有一层是接口层，叫做驱动程序接口层，用来整合不同的网络设备。接口层的内容会在上下层中提及。这里我们分析网络IP协议的实现原理。
其实现的文件主要是net/inet/ip.c文件中
我们首先分析下ip_init()初始化函数
这个函数是如何被调用的呢？
下面是调用的过程：
首先是在系统启动过程main.c中调用了sock_init()函数
void sock_init(void)//网络栈初始化
{
int i;
printk("Swansea University Computer Society NET3.019\n");
/*
* Initialize all address (protocol) families.
*/
for (i = 0; i < NPROTO; ++i) pops[i] = NULL;
/*
* Initialize the protocols module.
*/
proto_init();
#ifdef CONFIG_NET
/*
* Initialize the DEV module.
*/
dev_init();
/*
* And the bottom half handler
*/
bh_base[NET_BH].routine= net_bh;//设置NET 下半部分的处理函数为net_bh
enable_bh(NET_BH);
#endif
}
然后调用了proto_init()函数
void proto_init(void)
{
extern struct net_proto protocols[]; /* Network protocols 全局变量，定义在protocols.c中*/
struct net_proto *pro;
/* Kick all configured protocols. */
pro = protocols;
while (pro->name != NULL) //对所有的定义的域进行初始化
{
(*pro->init_func)(pro);
pro++;
}
/* We're all done... */
}
而protocols全局变量协议向量表的定义中对INET域中协议的初始化函数设置为inet_proto_init()
/*
* Protocol Table
*/
struct net_proto protocols[] = {
#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX
{ "UNIX", unix_proto_init },
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_IPX)||defined(CONFIG_ATALK)
{ "802.2", p8022_proto_init },
{ "SNAP", snap_proto_init },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_AX25
{ "AX.25", ax25_proto_init },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_INET
{ "INET", inet_proto_init },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_IPX
{ "IPX", ipx_proto_init },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_ATALK
{ "DDP", atalk_proto_init },
#endif
{ NULL, NULL }
};
看到在inet_proto_init()函数中调用了ip_init()对IP层进行了初始化。
void inet_proto_init(struct net_proto *pro)//INET域协议初始化函数
{
struct inet_protocol *p;
int i;
printk("Swansea University Computer Society TCP/IP for NET3.019\n");
/*
* Tell SOCKET that we are alive...
*/
(void) sock_register(inet_proto_ops.family, &inet_proto_ops);
...........................................
printk("IP Protocols: ");
for(p = inet_protocol_base; p != NULL;) //将inet_protocol_base指向的一个inet_protocol结构体加入数组inet_protos中
{
struct inet_protocol *tmp = (struct inet_protocol *) p->next;
inet_add_protocol(p);
printk("%s%s",p->name,tmp?", ":"\n");
p = tmp;
}
/*
* Set the ARP module up
*/
arp_init();//对地址解析层进行初始化
/*
* Set the IP module up
*/
ip_init();//对IP层进行初始化
}代码中inet_protocol_base指向的链表为&igmp_protocol-->&icmp_protocol-->&udp_protocol-->&tcp_protocol-->NULL(定义在protocol.c中)
分析ip_init()函数需要先要知道packet_type结构，这个结构体是网络层协议的结构体，网络层协议与该结构体一一对应。
/*该结构用于表示网络层协议，网络层协议与packt_type一一对应*/
struct packet_type {
unsigned short type; /* This is really htons(ether_type). ，对应的网络层协议编号*/
struct device * dev;
int (*func) (struct sk_buff *, struct device *,
struct packet_type *);
void *data;
struct packet_type *next;
};
第一个字段的网络层协议编号定义在include/linux/if_ether.h中
/* These are the defined Ethernet Protocol ID's. */ #define ETH_P_LOOP 0x0060 /* Ethernet Loopback packet */ #define ETH_P_ECHO 0x0200 /* Ethernet Echo packet */ #define ETH_P_PUP 0x0400 /* Xerox PUP packet */ #define ETH_P_IP 0x0800 /* Internet Protocol packet */ #define ETH_P_ARP 0x0806 /* Address Resolution packet */ #define ETH_P_RARP 0x8035 /* Reverse Addr Res packet */ #define ETH_P_X25 0x0805 /* CCITT X.25 */ #define ETH_P_ATALK 0x809B /* Appletalk DDP */ #define ETH_P_IPX 0x8137 /* IPX over DIX */ #define ETH_P_802_3 0x0001 /* Dummy type for 802.3 frames */ #define ETH_P_AX25 0x0002 /* Dummy protocol id for AX.25 */ #define ETH_P_ALL 0x0003 /* Every packet (be careful!!!) */ #define ETH_P_802_2 0x0004 /* 802.2 frames */ #define ETH_P_SNAP 0x0005 /* Internal only */
第二个字段表示处理包的网络接口设备，一般初始化为NULL。
第三个字段为相应网络协议的处理函数。
第四个字段是一个void指针。
第五个字段是next指针域，用于将该结构连接成链表。
下面是ip_init()函数
/*
* IP registers the packet type and then calls the subprotocol initialisers
*/
void ip_init(void)//该函数在af_inet.c文件中
{
ip_packet_type.type=htons(ETH_P_IP);
dev_add_pack(&ip_packet_type);//将网络协议插入IP协议链表，头插法
/* So we flush routes when a device is downed */
register_netdevice_notifier(&ip_rt_notifier);//将其插入通知链表
/* ip_raw_init();
ip_packet_init();
ip_tcp_init();
ip_udp_init();*/
}
这里需要说明的是系统采用主动通知的方式，其实现是有赖于notifier_block结构，其定义在notifier.h中
struct notifier_block
{
int (*notifier_call)(unsigned long, void *);
struct notifier_block *next;
int priority;
};对于网卡设备而言，网卡设备的启动和关闭是事件，内核需要得到通知从而采取相应的措施。其原理是：当事件发生时，事件通知者便利某个队列，对队列中感兴趣(符合条件)的被通知者调用被通知者注册是定义的通知处理函数，从而达到让内核做出相应的操作。
当硬件缓冲区数据填满后，会执行中断处理程序，以NE 8390网卡为例，由于在ne.c文件中注册中断时的中断处理函数设置如下：
request_irq (dev->irq, ei_interrupt, 0, wordlength==2 ? "ne2000":"ne1000");中断处理函数为ei_interrupt()。执行ei_interrupt()函数时会调用函数ei_recieve()，而ei_recieve()函数会调用netif_rx()函数将以skb_buf的形式发送给上层。
当然netif_rx()函数的特点前面分析过，即Bottom Half技术，使得中断处理过程有效的缩短，提高系统的效率。在下半段该函数会调用dev_transmit()函数，而它会调用函数dev_tint()函数，dev_tinit()会调用函数dev_queue_xmit()，这个函数会调用dev->hard_start_xmit函数，该函数指针在ethdev_init()函数中赋值了：
dev->hard_start_xmit = &ei_start_xmit;//设备的发送函数，定义在8390.c中最后调用ei_start_xmit()函数将数据包从硬件设备中读出放在skb中，即存放到内核空间中。
中断返回后系统会执行下半段，即执行net_bh()函数，该函数会扫描网络协议队列，调用相应的协议的接收函数，IP协议就会调用ip_rcv()
/*
* When we are called the queue is ready to grab, the interrupts are
* on and hardware can interrupt and queue to the receive queue a we
* run with no problems.
* This is run as a bottom half after an interrupt handler that does
* mark_bh(NET_BH);
*/
void net_bh(void *tmp)
{
...................................
while((skb=skb_dequeue(&backlog))!=NULL)//出队直到队列为空
{
...............................
/*
* Fetch the packet protocol ID. This is also quite ugly, as
* it depends on the protocol driver (the interface itself) to
* know what the type is, or where to get it from. The Ethernet
* interfaces fetch the ID from the two bytes in the Ethernet MAC
* header (the h_proto field in struct ethhdr), but other drivers
* may either use the ethernet ID's or extra ones that do not
* * (eg ETH_P_AX25). We could set this before we queue the

*/
type = skb->dev->type_trans(skb, skb->dev);//取出该数据包所属的协议类型

* hashed so we typically get a single hit. The speed cost
* here is minimal but no doubt adds up at the 4,000+ pkts/second
* rate we can hit flat out]
*/
pt_prev = NULL;
for (ptype = ptype_base; ptype != NULL; ptype = ptype->next) //遍历ptype_base所指向的网络协议队列
{
//判断协议号是否匹配
if ((ptype->type == type || ptype->type == htons(ETH_P_ALL)) && (!ptype->dev || ptype->dev==skb->dev))
{
/*

* to it and then remember the new match
*/
if(pt_prev)
{
struct sk_buff *skb2;

/*
* Kick the protocol handler. This should be fast
* and efficient code.
*/
if(skb2)
pt_prev->func(skb2, skb->dev, pt_prev);//调用相应协议的处理函数，
//这里和网络协议的种类有关系
//如IP 协议的处理函数就是ip_rcv
}
/* Remember the current last to do */
pt_prev=ptype;
}
} /* End of protocol list loop */
...........................................
}IP数据包类型的初始化设置在ip.c中
/*
* IP protocol layer initialiser
*/
static struct packet_type ip_packet_type =
{
0, /* MUTTER ntohs(ETH_P_IP),*/
NULL, /* All devices */
ip_rcv,
NULL,
NULL,
};
接下来分析ip_rcv()函数，这是IP层的接收函数，接收来自链路层的数据。
这里首先了解一下IP数据包的首部结构，结构示意图如下：
标志位三位，分别是：保留，DF(可以分片)，MF（还有后续分片）。
内核中对应的结构体定义如下(include/linux/ip.h)：
/*IP数据包首部结构体*/
struct iphdr {
#if defined(LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
__u8 ihl:4,
version:4;
#elif defined (BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
__u8 version:4,
ihl:4;
#else
#error "Please fix <asm/byteorder.h>"
#endif
__u8 tos;//服务类型
__u16 tot_len;//总长度
__u16 id;//标示
__u16 frag_off;//标志和片偏移
__u8 ttl;//生存时间
__u8 protocol;//协议
__u16 check;//头部校验和
__u32 saddr;//源地址
__u32 daddr;//目的地址
/*The options start here. */
};
内核中用于封装网络数据的最重要的数据结构sk_buff定义在include/linux/skbuff.h中：
struct sk_buff {
struct sk_buff * volatile next;//指针域，指向后继
struct sk_buff * volatile prev;//指针域，指向前驱
#if CONFIG_SKB_CHECK
int magic_debug_cookie;
#endif
struct sk_buff * volatile link3;//该指针域用于TCP协议，指向数据包重发队列
struct sock *sk;//该数据指向的套接字
volatile unsigned long when; /* used to compute rtt's 用于计算往返时间*/
struct timeval stamp;
struct device *dev;//标示发送或接收该数据包的接口设备
struct sk_buff *mem_addr;//指向该sk_buff结构指向的内存基地址，用于该数据结构的内存释放
union {//该联合结构用于实现通用
struct tcphdr *th;
struct ethhdr *eth;//链路层有效
struct iphdr *iph;//网络层有效
struct udphdr *uh;
unsigned char *raw;
unsigned long seq;//TCP协议有效，表示该数据包的ACK值
} h;
struct iphdr *ip_hdr; /* For IPPROTO_RAW ，指向IP首部指针，用于RAW套接字*/
unsigned long mem_len;//表示该结构的大小和数据帧的总大小
unsigned long len;//表示数据帧大小
unsigned long fraglen;//表示分片个数
struct sk_buff *fraglist; /* Fragment list ，分片数据包队列*/
unsigned long truesize;//==mem_len
unsigned long saddr;//源地址
unsigned long daddr;//目的地址
unsigned long raddr;//数据包的下一站地址
volatile char acked,//==1表示该数据包已经得到确认
used,//==1表示该数据包已经被数据包用完，可以释放
free,//==1表示该数据包用完后直接释放，不用缓存
arp;//==1表示MAC数据帧首部完成，否则表示MAC首部目的硬件地址尚不知晓，需使用ARP协议询问
unsigned char tries,//表示数据包已得到试发送
lock,//表示是否被其他程序使用
localroute,//表示是局域网路由还是广域网路由
pkt_type;//表示数据包的类型，分为，发往本机、广播、多播、发往其他主机
#define PACKET_HOST 0 /* To us */
#define PACKET_BROADCAST 1
#define PACKET_MULTICAST 2
#define PACKET_OTHERHOST 3 /* Unmatched promiscuous */
unsigned short users; /* User count - see datagram.c (and soon seqpacket.c/stream.c) 使用该数据包的程序数目*/
unsigned short pkt_class; /* For drivers that need to cache the packet type with the skbuff (new PPP) */
#ifdef CONFIG_SLAVE_BALANCING
unsigned short in_dev_queue;//表示数据包是否在设备缓冲队列
#endif
unsigned long padding[0];//填充
unsigned char data[0];//指向数据部分
};
