现在开始分析程序源码，利于之后对V4L2驱动的开发，学习
首先就行驱动的入口开始：

static int __init vivi_init(void)
{
const struct font_desc *font = find_font("VGA8x16");
int ret = 0, i;
if (font == NULL) {
printk(KERN_ERR "vivi: could not find font\n");
return -ENODEV;
}
font8x16 = font->data;
if (n_devs <= 0)
n_devs = 1;
for (i = 0; i < n_devs; i++) {
//Here is the most important
ret = vivi_create_instance(i);
if (ret) {
/* If some instantiations succeeded, keep driver */
if (i)
ret = 0;
break;
}
}
if (ret < 0) {
printk(KERN_ERR "vivi: error %d while loading driver\n", ret);
return ret;
}
printk(KERN_INFO "Video Technology Magazine Virtual Video "
"Capture Board ver %u.%u.%u successfully loaded.\n",
(VIVI_VERSION >> 16) & 0xFF, (VIVI_VERSION >> 8) & 0xFF,
VIVI_VERSION & 0xFF);
/* n_devs will reflect the actual number of allocated devices */
n_devs = i;
return ret;
}
static void __exit vivi_exit(void)
{
vivi_release();
}
module_init(vivi_init);
module_exit(vivi_exit);

这其实最重要的就是上面标注备份，下面重点分析 vivi_create_instance 方法：

static int __init vivi_create_instance(int inst)
{
struct vivi_dev *dev;
struct video_device *vfd;
struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl;
struct vb2_queue *q;
int ret;
dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*dev), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dev)
return -ENOMEM;
// set the v4l2_device(the name)
snprintf(dev->v4l2_dev.name, sizeof(dev->v4l2_dev.name),
"%s-%03d", VIVI_MODULE_NAME, inst);
/*
* register the v4l2_device, but you should pay attention here
* the "dev == NULL" it means v4l2_device.dev == NULL
* You did't set the v4l2_device.dev, you will set it later
*/
ret = v4l2_device_register(NULL, &dev->v4l2_dev);
if (ret)
goto free_dev;
/* init the handle, learn it later */
dev->fmt = &formats[0];
dev->width = 640;
dev->height = 480;
hdl = &dev->ctrl_handler;
v4l2_ctrl_handler_init(hdl, 11);
dev->volume = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_ops,
V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME, 0, 255, 1, 200);
dev->brightness = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_ops,
V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS, 0, 255, 1, 127);
dev->contrast = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_ops,
V4L2_CID_CONTRAST, 0, 255, 1, 16);
dev->saturation = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_ops,
V4L2_CID_SATURATION, 0, 255, 1, 127);
dev->hue = v4l2_ctrl_new_std(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_ops,
V4L2_CID_HUE, -128, 127, 1, 0);
dev->button = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_button, NULL);
dev->int32 = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_int32, NULL);
dev->int64 = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_int64, NULL);
dev->boolean = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_boolean, NULL);
dev->menu = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_menu, NULL);
dev->string = v4l2_ctrl_new_custom(hdl, &vivi_ctrl_string, NULL);
if (hdl->error) {
ret = hdl->error;
goto unreg_dev;
}
dev->v4l2_dev.ctrl_handler = hdl;
/* initialize locks */
spin_lock_init(&dev->slock);
/* initialize queue, learn it later */
q = &dev->vb_vidq;
memset(q, 0, sizeof(dev->vb_vidq));
q->type = V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE;
q->io_modes = VB2_MMAP | VB2_USERPTR | VB2_READ;
q->drv_priv = dev;
q->buf_struct_size = sizeof(struct vivi_buffer);
q->ops = &vivi_video_qops;
q->mem_ops = &vb2_vmalloc_memops;
vb2_queue_init(q);
mutex_init(&dev->mutex);
/* init video dma queues */
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dev->vidq.active);
init_waitqueue_head(&dev->vidq.wq);
/* before register the video_device, init the video_device data*/
ret = -ENOMEM;
vfd = video_device_alloc();
if (!vfd)
goto unreg_dev;
*vfd = vivi_template;/* the most important struct */
vfd->debug = debug;
vfd->v4l2_dev = &dev->v4l2_dev; /* here set the v4l2_device, you have already registered it */
set_bit(V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO, &vfd->flags);
/*
* Provide a mutex to v4l2 core. It will be used to protect
* all fops and v4l2 ioctls.
*/
vfd->lock = &dev->mutex;
ret = video_register_device(vfd, VFL_TYPE_GRABBER, video_nr);
if (ret < 0)
goto rel_vdev;
/*
* You should pay attention to this method
* here you set the vivi_dev into the vedio_device for the later use in fops
* When you want to use the vivi_dev, you use vedio_get_drvdata() to get
*/
video_set_drvdata(vfd, dev);
/* Now that everything is fine, let's add it to device list */
list_add_tail(&dev->vivi_devlist, &vivi_devlist);
if (video_nr != -1)
video_nr++;
dev->vfd = vfd;
/* the debug message*/
v4l2_info(&dev->v4l2_dev, "V4L2 device registered as %s\n",
video_device_node_name(vfd));
return 0;
rel_vdev:
video_device_release(vfd);
unreg_dev:
v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(hdl);
v4l2_device_unregister(&dev->v4l2_dev);
free_dev:
kfree(dev);
return ret;
}

vivi_create_instance 方法中主要完成以下工作;
1.首先通过v4l2_device_register() 方法注册 v4l2_device
2.ctrl_handler初始化
3.互斥锁，自旋锁等初始化
4.vb2_quene初始化
5.init video dma queues
6. 填充video_device，并且调用 video_register_device注册video_device
7.把vivi_dev结构set进video_device中，方便之后使用，使用 video_set_drvdata ( vfd , dev ) ;
8.设备信息加入的链表结构

下面针对以上步骤做详细分析:
1.首先通过v4l2_device_register() 方法注册 v4l2_device

int v4l2_device_register(struct device *dev, struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev)
{
if (v4l2_dev == NULL)
return -EINVAL;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&v4l2_dev->subdevs);
spin_lock_init(&v4l2_dev->lock);
mutex_init(&v4l2_dev->ioctl_lock);
/* initial the global priotity*/
v4l2_prio_init(&v4l2_dev->prio);
kref_init(&v4l2_dev->ref);
v4l2_dev->dev = dev;
if (dev == NULL) {
/* If dev == NULL, then name must be filled in by the caller */
WARN_ON(!v4l2_dev->name[0]);
/* Here give the caller a WARN, tell the caller to set the dev*/
return 0;
}
/* Set name to driver name + device name if it is empty. */
if (!v4l2_dev->name[0])
snprintf(v4l2_dev->name, sizeof(v4l2_dev->name), "%s %s",
dev->driver->name, dev_name(dev));
/* Here is also very important, you can get v4l2_device by use dev_get_drvdata*/
if (!dev_get_drvdata(dev))
dev_set_drvdata(dev, v4l2_dev);
return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(v4l2_device_register);

在 v4l2_device_register方法中，进行v4l2设备优先级的初始化，这里把v4l2_device中记录优先级状态的v4l2_prio_state结构变量 prio清空，
另外这里说一下kref结构定义的ref变量，这个变量保存打开设备的计数，这里第一次注册设备，初始化ref为1，若之后重复注册则会先检查ref这个变量，
如果ref为1，则表示已经注册过了，避免重复注册v4l2_device,这个初始化在kref_init方法中实现，这是我的理解，可是我暂时还没有找到检查ref的地方，暂且跳过
最后一步根据dev 结构体决定，如果dev不为空，则这里setv4l2_device的name，并且将v4l2_device结构set进dev中，方便后面获取使用

2. ctrl_handler初始化

/* Initialize the handler */
int v4l2_ctrl_handler_init(struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl,
unsigned nr_of_controls_hint)
{
mutex_init(&hdl->lock);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&hdl->ctrls);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&hdl->ctrl_refs);
hdl->nr_of_buckets = 1 + nr_of_controls_hint / 8;
hdl->buckets = kzalloc(sizeof(hdl->buckets[0]) * hdl->nr_of_buckets,
GFP_KERNEL);
hdl->error = hdl->buckets ? 0 : -ENOMEM;
return hdl->error;
}

这里还是很有必要了解一下v4l2_ctrl_handler这个结构体到底是干什么用的

/** struct v4l2_ctrl_handler - The control handler keeps track of all the
* controls: both the controls owned by the handler and those inherited
* from other handlers.
* @lock: Lock to control access to this handler and its controls.
* @ctrls: The list of controls owned by this handler.
* @ctrl_refs: The list of control references.
* @cached: The last found control reference. It is common that the same
* control is needed multiple times, so this is a simple
* optimization.
* @buckets: Buckets for the hashing. Allows for quick control lookup.
* @nr_of_buckets: Total number of buckets in the array.
* @error: The error code of the first failed control addition.
*/
struct v4l2_ctrl_handler {
struct mutex lock;
struct list_head ctrls;
struct list_head ctrl_refs;
struct v4l2_ctrl_ref *cached;
struct v4l2_ctrl_ref **buckets;
u16 nr_of_buckets;
int error;
};

在v4l2_ctrl_handler_init方法中，主要通过nr_of_controls_hint变量的大小，计算nr_of_buckets，并为buckets申请空间，并将申请结果保存在error变量中，我感觉可以是用于以后方便check的
dev->v4l2_dev.ctrl_handler = hdl;最后，关联vivi_dev
问题点：
1. v4l2_ctrl_new_std
2. v4l2_ctrl_new_custom
以上两个方法不是很理解，待以后研究

3.互斥锁，自旋锁等初始化
这个比较简单，就不在做说明了

4.vb2_quene初始化
首先还是很有必要看一下这个结构体

/**
* struct vb2_queue - a videobuf queue
*
* @type: queue type (see V4L2_BUF_TYPE_* in linux/videodev2.h
* @io_modes: supported io methods (see vb2_io_modes enum)
* @io_flags: additional io flags (see vb2_fileio_flags enum)
* @ops: driver-specific callbacks
* @mem_ops: memory allocator specific callbacks
* @drv_priv: driver private data
* @buf_struct_size: size of the driver-specific buffer structure;
* "0" indicates the driver doesn't want to use a custom buffer
* structure type, so sizeof(struct vb2_buffer) will is used
*
* @memory: current memory type used
* @bufs: videobuf buffer structures
* @num_buffers: number of allocated/used buffers
* @queued_list: list of buffers currently queued from userspace
* @queued_count: number of buffers owned by the driver
* @done_list: list of buffers ready to be dequeued to userspace
* @done_lock: lock to protect done_list list
* @done_wq: waitqueue for processes waiting for buffers ready to be dequeued
* @alloc_ctx: memory type/allocator-specific contexts for each plane
* @streaming: current streaming state
* @fileio: file io emulator internal data, used only if emulator is active
*/
struct vb2_queue {
enum v4l2_buf_type type;
unsigned int io_modes;
unsigned int io_flags;
const struct vb2_ops *ops;
const struct vb2_mem_ops *mem_ops;
void *drv_priv;
unsigned int buf_struct_size;
/* private: internal use only */
enum v4l2_memory memory;
struct vb2_buffer *bufs[VIDEO_MAX_FRAME];
unsigned int num_buffers;
struct list_head queued_list;
atomic_t queued_count;
struct list_head done_list;
spinlock_t done_lock;
wait_queue_head_t done_wq;
void *alloc_ctx[VIDEO_MAX_PLANES];
unsigned int streaming:1;
struct vb2_fileio_data *fileio;
};

在 v4l2_ctrl_handler_init方法中，首先对 vb2_quene其中的重要数据进行填充，最最重要的就是
q->ops = &vivi_video_qops;
q->mem_ops = &vb2_vmalloc_memops;
这两条简单的复制语句责任重大啊，这里先知道有这么一回事，后面补充

/**
* struct vb2_ops - driver-specific callbacks
*
* @queue_setup: called from a VIDIOC_REQBUFS handler, before
* memory allocation; driver should return the required
* number of buffers in num_buffers, the required number
* of planes per buffer in num_planes; the size of each
* plane should be set in the sizes[] array and optional
* per-plane allocator specific context in alloc_ctxs[]
* array
* @wait_prepare: release any locks taken while calling vb2 functions;
* it is called before an ioctl needs to wait for a new
* buffer to arrive; required to avoid a deadlock in
* blocking access type
* @wait_finish: reacquire all locks released in the previous callback;
* required to continue operation after sleeping while
* waiting for a new buffer to arrive
* @buf_init: called once after allocating a buffer (in MMAP case)
* or after acquiring a new USERPTR buffer; drivers may
* perform additional buffer-related initialization;
* initialization failure (return != 0) will prevent
* queue setup from completing successfully; optional
* @buf_prepare: called every time the buffer is queued from userspace;
* drivers may perform any initialization required before
* each hardware operation in this callback;
* if an error is returned, the buffer will not be queued
* in driver; optional
* @buf_finish: called before every dequeue of the buffer back to
* userspace; drivers may perform any operations required
* before userspace accesses the buffer; optional
* @buf_cleanup: called once before the buffer is freed; drivers may
* perform any additional cleanup; optional
* @start_streaming: called once before entering 'streaming' state; enables
* driver to receive buffers over buf_queue() callback
* @stop_streaming: called when 'streaming' state must be disabled; driver
* should stop any DMA transactions or wait until they
* finish and give back all buffers it got from buf_queue()
* callback; may use vb2_wait_for_all_buffers() function
* @buf_queue: passes buffer vb to the driver; driver may start
* hardware operation on this buffer; driver should give
* the buffer back by calling vb2_buffer_done() function
*/
struct vb2_ops {
int (*queue_setup)(struct vb2_queue *q, unsigned int *num_buffers,
unsigned int *num_planes, unsigned long sizes[],
void *alloc_ctxs[]);
void (*wait_prepare)(struct vb2_queue *q);
void (*wait_finish)(struct vb2_queue *q);
int (*buf_init)(struct vb2_buffer *vb);
int (*buf_prepare)(struct vb2_buffer *vb);
int (*buf_finish)(struct vb2_buffer *vb);
void (*buf_cleanup)(struct vb2_buffer *vb);
int (*start_streaming)(struct vb2_queue *q);
int (*stop_streaming)(struct vb2_queue *q);
void (*buf_queue)(struct vb2_buffer *vb);
};

/**
* struct vb2_mem_ops - memory handling/memory allocator operations
* @alloc: allocate video memory and, optionally, allocator private data,
* return NULL on failure or a pointer to allocator private,
* per-buffer data on success; the returned private structure
* will then be passed as buf_priv argument to other ops in this
* structure
* @put: inform the allocator that the buffer will no longer be used;
* usually will result in the allocator freeing the buffer (if
* no other users of this buffer are present); the buf_priv
* argument is the allocator private per-buffer structure
* previously returned from the alloc callback
* @get_userptr: acquire userspace memory for a hardware operation; used for
* USERPTR memory types; vaddr is the address passed to the
* videobuf layer when queuing a video buffer of USERPTR type;
* should return an allocator private per-buffer structure
* associated with the buffer on success, NULL on failure;
* the returned private structure will then be passed as buf_priv
* argument to other ops in this structure
* @put_userptr: inform the allocator that a USERPTR buffer will no longer
* be used
* @vaddr: return a kernel virtual address to a given memory buffer
* associated with the passed private structure or NULL if no
* such mapping exists
* @cookie: return allocator specific cookie for a given memory buffer
* associated with the passed private structure or NULL if not
* available
* @num_users: return the current number of users of a memory buffer;
* return 1 if the videobuf layer (or actually the driver using
* it) is the only user
* @mmap: setup a userspace mapping for a given memory buffer under
* the provided virtual memory region
*
* Required ops for USERPTR types: get_userptr, put_userptr.
* Required ops for MMAP types: alloc, put, num_users, mmap.
* Required ops for read/write access types: alloc, put, num_users, vaddr
*/
struct vb2_mem_ops {
void *(*alloc)(void *alloc_ctx, unsigned long size);
void (*put)(void *buf_priv);
void *(*get_userptr)(void *alloc_ctx, unsigned long vaddr,
unsigned long size, int write);
void (*put_userptr)(void *buf_priv);
void *(*vaddr)(void *buf_priv);
void *(*cookie)(void *buf_priv);
unsigned int (*num_users)(void *buf_priv);
int (*mmap)(void *buf_priv, struct vm_area_struct *vma);
};

最后调用 vb2_queue_init 方法，进行初始化

/**
* vb2_queue_init() - initialize a videobuf2 queue
* @q: videobuf2 queue; this structure should be allocated in driver
*
* The vb2_queue structure should be allocated by the driver. The driver is
* responsible of clearing it's content and setting initial values for some
* required entries before calling this function.
* q->ops, q->mem_ops, q->type and q->io_modes are mandatory. Please refer
* to the struct vb2_queue description in include/media/videobuf2-core.h
* for more information.
*/
int vb2_queue_init(struct vb2_queue *q)
{
BUG_ON(!q);
BUG_ON(!q->ops);
BUG_ON(!q->mem_ops);
BUG_ON(!q->type);
BUG_ON(!q->io_modes);
BUG_ON(!q->ops->queue_setup);
BUG_ON(!q->ops->buf_queue);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&q->queued_list);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&q->done_list);
spin_lock_init(&q->done_lock);
init_waitqueue_head(&q->done_wq);
if (q->buf_struct_size == 0)
q->buf_struct_size = sizeof(struct vb2_buffer);
return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(vb2_queue_init);

这里方法很简单，只是进行check，然后最最简单的初始化，这里不再多说了

5. init video dma queues
只有两条语句进行初始化
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dev->vidq.active);
init_waitqueue_head(&dev->vidq.wq);

6. 填充video_device，并且调用 video_register_device注册video_device
这里终于到了重点了，很重要，开始了
开始简单，申请内存空间并进行填充，然后才真正调用用video_register_device这个方法，开始了
但是在调用之前的这条语句你必须关注vfd->v4l2_dev = &dev->v4l2_dev;从这里也可以知道v4l2_device和video_device的注册顺序

int __video_register_device(struct video_device *vdev, int type, int nr,

}
vdev->vfl_type = type;
vdev->cdev = NULL;
if (vdev->v4l2_dev) {
if (vdev->v4l2_dev->dev)
//这里说明vdev和保存在v4l2_device的dev具有共同的parent，对之后sys 接口那里有用
vdev->parent = vdev->v4l2_dev->dev;
if (vdev->ctrl_handler == NULL)

7.把vivi_dev结构set进video_device中，方便之后使用，设备信息加入的链表结构
最后结尾的这段代码这里我决定单独放在下面分析，也算妥善收尾吧

/*
* You should pay attention to this method
* here you set the vivi_dev into the vedio_device for the later use in fops
* When you want to use the vivi_dev, you use vedio_get_drvdata() to get
*/
video_set_drvdata(vfd, dev);
/* Now that everything is fine, let's add it to device list */
list_add_tail(&dev->vivi_devlist, &vivi_devlist);//添加的device list当中
if (video_nr != -1)
video_nr++;//用于计数，找到设备
dev->vfd = vfd;关联video_device和vivi_dev

短短的几条语句，但我看来，个个都短小精悍
首先说说这个方法，他有什么用处呢？其实用处可大了，就行我上面注释的那样，这里把vivi_dev设置到vedio_device中，是为了之后字符设备访问接口中使用
这里多说一点，也算顺便说一下用户空间操作设备的流程了
首先当时用户空间访问设备了，这个做驱动的不懂那可糗大了，用户空间open时，也就是启动了上面video_device_register方法中的很重要的下面结构中的open方法

static const struct file_operations v4l2_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.read = v4l2_read,
.write = v4l2_write,
.open = v4l2_open,
.get_unmapped_area = v4l2_get_unmapped_area,
.mmap = v4l2_mmap,
.unlocked_ioctl = v4l2_ioctl,
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
.compat_ioctl = v4l2_compat_ioctl32,
#endif
.release = v4l2_release,
.poll = v4l2_poll,
.llseek = no_llseek,
};

我们来看一下这个open方法

/* Override for the open function */
static int v4l2_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
{
struct video_device *vdev;
int ret = 0;
/* Check if the video device is available */
mutex_lock(&videodev_lock);
vdev = video_devdata(filp);
/* return ENODEV if the video device has already been removed. */
if (vdev == NULL || !video_is_registered(vdev)) {
mutex_unlock(&videodev_lock);
return -ENODEV;
}
/* and increase the device refcount */
video_get(vdev);//这里是用来计数的
mutex_unlock(&videodev_lock);
/*
* Here using the API you get the method you get the open() method write
* The other methods in fops use the same method to use you own code
*/
if (vdev->fops->open) {
if (vdev->lock && mutex_lock_interruptible(vdev->lock)) {
ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
goto err;
}
if (video_is_registered(vdev))
ret = vdev->fops->open(filp);
else
ret = -ENODEV;
if (vdev->lock)
mutex_unlock(vdev->lock);
}
err:
/* decrease the refcount in case of an error */
if (ret)
video_put(vdev);
return ret;
}

只有最下面的那个标准才是重点，经过那么多的check，最后走的了最后这一步， ret = vdev - > fops - > open ( filp ) ;
这个open方法在哪里呢？那就沿着箭头方向找吧，是video_device内部的fops中的open方法，这个方法不是有在哪里呢？
接着找，在 video_device_register方法之前
*vfd = vivi_template;/* the most important struct */我还特意在这里写了最重要的结构体
所以最终调用的是 vivi_template 中fops中定义的open方法

static const struct v4l2_file_operations vivi_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.open = v4l2_fh_open,
.release = vivi_close,
.read = vivi_read,
.poll = vivi_poll,
.unlocked_ioctl = video_ioctl2, /* V4L2 ioctl handler */
.mmap = vivi_mmap,
};
static const struct v4l2_ioctl_ops vivi_ioctl_ops = {
.vidioc_querycap = vidioc_querycap,
.vidioc_enum_fmt_vid_cap = vidioc_enum_fmt_vid_cap,
.vidioc_g_fmt_vid_cap = vidioc_g_fmt_vid_cap,
.vidioc_try_fmt_vid_cap = vidioc_try_fmt_vid_cap,
.vidioc_s_fmt_vid_cap = vidioc_s_fmt_vid_cap,
.vidioc_reqbufs = vidioc_reqbufs,
.vidioc_querybuf = vidioc_querybuf,
.vidioc_qbuf = vidioc_qbuf,
.vidioc_dqbuf = vidioc_dqbuf,
.vidioc_s_std = vidioc_s_std,
.vidioc_enum_input = vidioc_enum_input,
.vidioc_g_input = vidioc_g_input,
.vidioc_s_input = vidioc_s_input,
.vidioc_streamon = vidioc_streamon,
.vidioc_streamoff = vidioc_streamoff,
};
static struct video_device vivi_template = {
.name = "vivi",
.fops = &vivi_fops,
.ioctl_ops = &vivi_ioctl_ops,
.release = video_device_release,
.tvnorms = V4L2_STD_525_60,
.current_norm = V4L2_STD_NTSC_M,
};

我们找到了，就是 v4l2_fh_open 这个方法，这个方法与我们之前写字符驱动时遇到的情况很是不同，他的open方法其实是有内核API写好的，我们先看看

int v4l2_fh_open(struct file *filp)
{
struct video_device *vdev = video_devdata(filp);
struct v4l2_fh *fh = kzalloc(sizeof(*fh), GFP_KERNEL);
/*
* IN the open method, do only one job
* set v4l2_fh into filp->private_data for later use, and initial v4l2_fh
*/
filp->private_data = fh;
if (fh == NULL)
return -ENOMEM;
v4l2_fh_init(fh, vdev);
v4l2_fh_add(fh);
return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(v4l2_fh_open);

这个open方法将v4l2_fh 这个同样很重要的结构体保存到filp->private中，并做一些初始化，具体过程暂且不说
这里fops中的其他接口的实现比起open，方法是一样的，而且更简单

但是，这里我真正想表达的东西还没有出现，大家看到这里的 filp - > private_data = fh ;//问题就在这里了，我们真正在read，write中需要传递的想要使用的是vivi_dev其实，
而不是v4l2_fh这个数据结构，我们还是直接看看 vivi_template 中fops中定义的read方法吧

static ssize_t
vivi_read(struct file *file, char __user *data, size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
struct vivi_dev *dev = video_drvdata(file);
dprintk(dev, 1, "read called\n");
return vb2_read(&dev->vb_vidq, data, count, ppos,
file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK);
}

这里大家看到了，方法获取到vivi_dev这个数据结构，并传递到vb2_read这个方法中，这个方法时驱动中数据传输的关键，之后再慢慢研究，这里同样不深究
而这个vivi_dev是通过video_drvdata方法获得的，这就是为什么在上面我强调的要用
video_set_drvdata ( vfd , dev ) ; 把vivi_dev装载到video_device中

到这里基本的过程都整理完了，其实大头还在后面呢，待续。。。。。。
