14.1 网络设备驱动结构
- 网络协议接口层：硬件无关，标准收发函数dev_queue_xmit()和netif_rx(); 注意，netif_rx是将接收到的数据给上层，有时也在驱动收到数据以后调用。
- 网络设备接口层，net_device，统一接口名称，使上层独立于具体硬件。
- 设备驱动功能层，实现net_device的各成员
- 物理层
在整个以太网架构里，有两个数据结构非常重要，即sk_buff和net_device，后面两节有说明。
还有一些与内核交互的函数，需要掌握，如netif_start_queue()，netif_stop_queue()，netif_wakeup_queue()，netif_rx()，netif_carrier_on/off_ok()
14.1.1 sk_buff
以太网各层之间用sk_buff结构体传递数据，该结构体是很多函数的形参。

14.3 初始化ndo_init()
向内核register时，ndo_init()函数会被执行。
int register_netdev(struct net_device *dev)
{
int err; rtnl_lock();
err = register_netdevice(dev);
rtnl_unlock();
return err;
} int register_netdevice(struct net_device *dev)
{
...
/* Init, if this function is available */
if (dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init) {
ret = dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init(dev);
if (ret) {
if (ret > )
ret = -EIO;
goto out;
}
}
...
}
ndo_init()要干的事：
- 准备硬件
- 初始化net_device结构体的相关内容
- 获取私有指针，并初始化
ndo_init()模板：
xxx_netdev_ops.ndo_init = xxx_init;
void xxx_init(struct net_device *dev)
{
/* 设备的私有信息结构体 */
struct xxx_priv *priv; /* 检查设备是否存在和设备所使用的硬件资源 */
xxx_hw_init(); /* 初始化以太网设备的公用成员 */
ether_setup(dev); /* 设置设备的成员函数指针 */
ndev->netdev_ops = &xxx_netdev_ops;
ndev->ethtool_ops = &xxx_ethtool_ops;
dev->watchdog_timeo = timeout; /* 取得私有信息， 并初始化它 */
priv = netdev_priv(dev);
... /* 初始化设备私有数据区 */
}
14.4 打开和释放ndo_open()/ndo_stop()
ndo_open()的工作：
- 使能硬件资源，申请IO区域、中断和DMA通道等；
- 调用netif_start_queue()函数，激活设备发送队列
ndo_stop()的工作：
- 调用netif_stop_queue()函数，停止设备发送队列
- 释放IO区域、中断和DMA资源
原来这两个函数只针对 tx queue
/**
* netif_start_queue - allow transmit
* @dev: network device
*
* Allow upper layers to call the device hard_start_xmit routine.

* @dev: network device
*
* Allow upper layers to call the device hard_start_xmit routine.

*/
static inline void netif_wake_queue(struct net_device *dev)
{
netif_tx_wake_queue(netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, 0));
}
模板：
xxx_netdev_ops.ndo_open = xxx_open;
xxx_netdev_ops.ndo_stop = xxx_stop;
static int xxx_open(struct net_device *dev)
{
/* 申请端口、 IRQ 等， 类似于 fops->open */
ret = request_irq(dev->irq, &xxx_interrupt, , dev->name, dev);
...
netif_start_queue(dev);
...
} static int xxx_stop(struct net_device *dev)
{
/* 释放端口、 IRQ 等， 类似于 fops->close */
free_irq(dev->irq, dev);
...
netif_stop_queue(dev); /* can't transmit any more */
...
}
14.5 发送 ndo_start_xmit()/ndo_tx_timeout()
ndo_start_xmit()主要流程：
- 解析sk_buff，缓存有效数据
- 校验数据长度，若小于ETH_ZLEN（60，不包含FCS），则尾部填充0
- 控制硬件发送数据
int xxx_tx(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev)
{
int len;
char *data, shortpkt[ETH_ZLEN];
if (xxx_send_available(...)) { /* 发送队列未满， 可以发送 */
/* 获得有效数据指针和长度 */
data = skb->data;
len = skb->len;
if (len < ETH_ZLEN) {
/* 如果帧长小于以太网帧最小长度， 补 0 */
memset(shortpkt, , ETH_ZLEN);
memcpy(shortpkt, skb->data, skb->len);
len = ETH_ZLEN;
data = shortpkt;
} dev->trans_start = jiffies; /* 记录发送时间戳 */ if (avail) {/* 设置硬件寄存器， 让硬件把数据包发送出去 */
xxx_hw_tx(data, len, dev);
} else {
netif_stop_queue(dev); // 不一定非要这么搞，返回busy也可以，如果调用了，需要在TX结束中断或者超时中断里唤醒
...
}
}
} void xxx_tx_timeout(struct net_device *dev)
{
...
netif_wake_queue(dev); /* 重新启动设备发送队列 */
}
14.6 接收
没有固定形式，在需要的地方调用netif_rx()即可。
static void xxx_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
...
switch (status &ISQ_EVENT_MASK) {
case ISQ_RECEIVER_EVENT:
/* 获取数据包 */
xxx_rx(dev);
break;
/* 其他类型的中断 */
}

14.7 连接状态
一般在定时中断里，检查并更新连接状态。
static inline bool netif_carrier_ok(const struct net_device *dev); // 连接是否ok
void netif_carrier_on(struct net_device *dev); // 改变连接状态，on
void netif_carrier_off(struct net_device *dev); // 改变连接状态，off
14.8 参数设置和统计数据
参数设置可以通过ioctl()，传入的描述符为socket，linux对命令做了统一规定，如下：
/*路径： include/uapi/linux/sockios.h */
/*
* INET An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
* operating system. INET is implemented using the BSD Socket
* interface as the means of communication with the user level.
*
* Definitions of the socket-level I/O control calls.
*
* Version: @(#)sockios.h 1.0.2 03/09/93
