register_chrdev
linux字符设备驱动之 register_chrdev_region()函数系列
1.内核中所有已分配的字符设备编号都记录在一个名为 chrdevs 散列表里。该散列表中的每一个元素是一个 char_device_struct 结构,它的定义如下:
static struct char_device_struct {
struct char_device_struct *next; // 指向散列冲突链表中的下一个元素的指针
unsigned int major; // 主设备号
unsigned int baseminor; // 起始次设备号
int minorct; // 设备编号的范围大小
char name[64]; // 处理该设备编号范围内的设备驱动的名称
struct file_operations *fops;
struct cdev *cdev; // 指向字符设备驱动程序描述符的指针
} *chrdevs[CHRDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE];
1>内核并不是为每一个字符设备编号定义一个 char_device_struct 结构,而是为一组对应同一个字符设备驱动的设备编号范围定义一个 char_device_struct 结构。chrdevs 散列表的大小是 255,散列算法是把每组字符设备编号范围的主设备号以 255 取模插入相应的散列桶中。同一个散列桶中的字符设备编号范围是按起始次设备号递增排序的。
2.注册
内核提供了三个函数来注册一组字符设备编号,这三个函数分别是 register_chrdev_region()、alloc_chrdev_region() 和
register_chrdev()。这三个函数都会调用一个共用的
__register_chrdev_region() 函数来注册一组设备编号范围(即一个 char_device_struct 结构)。
1>int register_chrdev_region(dev_t from, unsigned count, const char *name)
from :要分配的设备编号范围的初始值(次设备号常设为0);
Count:连续编号范围.
name:编号相关联的设备名称. (/proc/devices);
2>动态分配:
int alloc_chrdev_region(dev_t *dev,unsigned int firstminor,unsigned int count,char *name);
firstminor是请求的最小的次编号;
count是请求的连续设备编号的总数;
name为设备名,返回值小于0表示分配失败。
然后通过major=MMOR(dev)获取主设备号
3>释放:
Void unregist_chrdev_region(dev_t first,unsigned int count);
调用Documentation/devices.txt中能够找到已分配的设备号.

函数 __register_chrdev_region() 主要执行以下步骤:
1> 分配一个新的 char_device_struct 结构,并用 0 填充。
2> 如果申请的设备编号范围的主设备号为 0,那么表示设备驱动程序请求动态分配一个主设备号。动态分配主设备号的原则是从散列表的最后一个桶向前寻找,那个桶是空的,主设备号就是相应散列桶的序号。所以动态分配的主设备号总是小于 256,如果每个桶都有字符设备编号了,那动态分配就会失败。
3> 根据参数设置 char_device_struct 结构中的初始设备号,范围大小及设备驱动名称。
4> 计算出主设备号所对应的散列桶,为新的 char_device_struct 结构寻找正确的位置。同时,如果设备编号范围有重复的话,则出错返回。
5> 将新的 char_device_struct 结构插入散列表中,并返回 char_device_struct 结构的地址。
4.分析三个注册函数
1> register_chrdev_region()
186
187/**
188 * register_chrdev_region() - register a range of device numbers
189 * @from: the first in the desired range of device numbers; must include
190 * the major number.
191 * @count: the number of consecutive device numbers required
192 * @name: the name of the device or driver.
193 *
194 * Return value is zero on success, a negative ERROR code on failure.
195 */
196int register_chrdev_region(dev_t from, unsigned count, const char *name)
197{
198 struct char_device_struct *cd;
199 dev_t to = from + count;
200 dev_t n, next;
201
202 for (n = from; n < to; n = next) {
203 next = MKDEV(MAJOR(n)+1, 0);
204 if (next > to)
205 next = to;
206 cd = __register_chrdev_region(MAJOR(n), MINOR(n),
207 next - n, name);
208 if (IS_ERR(cd))
209 goto fail;
210 }
211 return 0;
212fail:
213 to = n;
214 for (n = from; n < to; n = next) {
215 next = MKDEV(MAJOR(n)+1, 0);
216 kfree(__unregister_chrdev_region(MAJOR(n), MINOR(n), next - n));
217 }
218 return PTR_ERR(cd);
}
register_chrdev_region() 函数用于分配指定的设备编号范围。如果申请的设备编号范围跨越了主设备号,它会把分配范围内的编号按主设备号分割成较小的子范围,并在每个子范围上调用 __register_chrdev_region() 。如果其中有一次分配失败的话,那会把之前成功分配的都全部退回。
2> alloc_chrdev_region()
221/**
222 * alloc_chrdev_region() - register a range of char device numbers
223 * @dev: output parameter for first assigned number
224 * @baseminor: first of the requested range of minor numbers
225 * @count: the number of minor numbers required
226 * @name: the name of the associated device or driver
227 *
228 * Allocates a range of char device numbers. The major number will be
229 * chosen dynamically, and returned (along with the first minor number)
230 * in @dev. Returns zero or a negative error code.
231 */
232int alloc_chrdev_region(dev_t *dev, unsigned baseminor, unsigned count,
233 const char *name)
234{
235 struct char_device_struct *cd;
236 cd = __register_chrdev_region(0, baseminor, count, name);
237 if (IS_ERR(cd))
238 return PTR_ERR(cd);
239 *dev = MKDEV(cd->major, cd->baseminor);
240 return 0;
}
alloc_chrdev_region() 函数用于动态申请设备编号范围,这个函数好像并没有检查范围过大的情况,不过动态分配总是找个空的散列桶,所以问题也不大。通过指针参数返回实际获得的起始设备编号。
3> register_chrdev()
2090static inline int register_chrdev(unsigned int major, const char *name,
2091 const struct file_operations *fops)
2092{
2093 return __register_chrdev(major, 0, 256, name, fops);
2094}
2095
最后一个 register_chrdev() 是一个老式分配设备编号范围的函数。它分配一个单独主设备号和 0 ~ 255 的次设备号范围。如果申请的主设备号为 0 则动态分配一个。该函数还需传入一个 file_operations 结构的指针,函数内部自动分配了一个新的 cdev 结构。关于这些,在后续讲字符设备驱动的注册时会说明
5.注销:
和注册分配字符设备编号范围类似,内核提供了两个注销字符设备编号范围的函数,分别是 unregister_chrdev_region() 和 unregister_chrdev() 。它们都调用了
__unregister_chrdev_region() 函数。
1>__unregister_chrdev_region()
319
320/**
321 * __unregister_chrdev - unregister and destroy a cdev
322 * @major: major device number
323 * @baseminor: first of the range of minor numbers
324 * @count: the number of minor numbers this cdev is occupying
325 * @name: name of this range of devices
326 *
327 * Unregister and destroy the cdev occupying the region described by
328 * @major, @baseminor and @count. This function undoes what
329 * __register_chrdev() did.
330 */
331void __unregister_chrdev(unsigned int major, unsigned int baseminor,
332 unsigned int count, const char *name)
333{
334 struct char_device_struct *cd;
335
336 cd = __unregister_chrdev_region(major, baseminor, count);
337 if (cd && cd->cdev)
338 cdev_del(cd->cdev);
339 kfree(cd);
340}
341
2>unregister_chrdev_region()
298/**
299 * unregister_chrdev_region() - return a range of device numbers
300 * @from: the first in the range of numbers to unregister
301 * @count: the number of device numbers to unregister
302 *
303 * This function will unregister a range of @count device numbers,
304 * starting with @from. The caller should normally be the one who
305 * allocated those numbers in the first place...
306 */
307void unregister_chrdev_region(dev_t from, unsigned count)
308{
309 dev_t to = from + count;
310 dev_t n, next;
311
312 for (n = from; n < to; n = next) {
313 next = MKDEV(MAJOR(n)+1, 0);
314 if (next > to)
315 next = to;
316 kfree(__unregister_chrdev_region(MAJOR(n), MINOR(n), next - n));
317 }
3>unregister_chrdev
2096static inline void unregister_chrdev(unsigned int major, const char *name)
2097{
2098 __unregister_chrdev(major, 0, 256, name);
2099}
