- 一、devtmpfs概述
- 1.devtmpfs 的功用是在 Linux 核心 启动早期建立一个初步的 /dev,令一般启动程序不用等待 udev,缩短 GNU/Linux 的开机时间。
- 2.重要解释
- Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will have a device node created in this tmpfs instance. After the rootfs is mounted by the kernel, the populated tmpfs is mounted at /dev. In initramfs, it can be moved to the manually mounted root filesystem before /sbin/init is executed.
- 3.menuconfig 中加入devtmpfs支持
- make menuconfig-->Device Drivers-->Generic Driver Options
- Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev
- Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs
- 4.df -T显示devtmpfs

- 二、devtmpfs文件系统初始化
- void __init driver_init(void)
- {
- /* These are the core pieces */
- devtmpfs_init();//devtmpfs文件系统初始化
- devices_init();
- buses_init();
- classes_init();

- cpu_dev_init();
- memory_dev_init();
- }
- static struct file_system_type dev_fs_type = {
- .name = "devtmpfs",
- .mount = dev_mount,
- .kill_sb = kill_litter_super,
- };
- int __init devtmpfs_init(void)
- {
- int err = register_filesystem(&dev_fs_type);//注册dev_fs_type文件系统,即将dev_fs_type添加到内核全局总链表中file_systems
- if (err) {
- printk(KERN_ERR "devtmpfs: unable to register devtmpfs ""type %i\n", err);
- return err;
- }
- thread = kthread_run(devtmpfsd, &err, "kdevtmpfs");//创建并启动一个内核线程devtmpfsd
- if (!IS_ERR(thread)) {
- wait_for_completion(&setup_done);//进行一个不可打断的等待,允许一个线程告诉另一个线程工作已经完成
- } else {
- err = PTR_ERR(thread);
- thread = NULL;
- }

- unregister_filesystem(&dev_fs_type);
- return err;
- }
- printk(KERN_INFO "devtmpfs: initialized\n");
- return 0;
- }
- //请求创建设备节点的请求队列req结构
- static struct req {
- struct req *next;
- struct completion done;
- int err;
- const char *name;

- int *err = p;
- *err = sys_unshare(CLONE_NEWNS);
- if (*err)
- goto out;
- //挂载devtmpfs文件系统
- //devtmpfs是待安装设备的路径名,“/”是安装点路径名,”devtmpfs“表示文件系统类型,MS_SILENT=32768,即0x8000
- *err = sys_mount("devtmpfs", "/", "devtmpfs", MS_SILENT, options);
- if (*err)
- goto out;
- sys_chdir("/.."); //将进程的当前工作目录(pwd)设定为devtmpfs文件系统的根目录/* will traverse into overmounted root */
- sys_chroot(".");
- complete(&setup_done);//允许一个线程告诉另一个线程工作已经完成
- while (1) {
- spin_lock(&req_lock);
- while (requests) {//扫描请求链表,每当要创建一个设备节点时,都需要向requests链表中添加请求
- struct req *req = requests;//赋值给临时req
- requests = NULL;//清空
- spin_unlock(&req_lock);
- while (req) {//遍历刚才requests的请求链表
- struct req *next = req->next;
- req->err = handle(req->name, req->mode, req->dev);//对链表中的每一个请求调用handle函数
- complete(&req->done);
- req = next;
- }
- spin_lock(&req_lock);
- }

- {
- struct dentry *dentry;
- struct path path;
- int err;
- //查找节点名称的路径以及返回节点对应的父目录dentry结构,即在此目录下创建一个设备节点,即是/dev目录对应的dentry结构

- }
- if (IS_ERR(dentry))
- return PTR_ERR(dentry);

- err = vfs_mknod(path.dentry->d_inode,dentry, mode, dev->devt);
- if (!err) {
- struct iattr newattrs;
- newattrs.ia_mode = mode;/* fixup possibly umasked mode */

- mutex_unlock(&dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);
- dentry->d_inode->i_private = &thread;/* mark as kernel-created inode */
- }
- done_path_create(&path, dentry);//与前边kern_path_create对应,减少path和dentry的计数等
- return err;
- }
- int vfs_mknod(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry, umode_t mode, dev_t dev)
- {
- int error = may_create(dir, dentry);//检查是否可以创建设备文件节点
- if (error)
- return error;
- //必须是字符设备或者块设备,且具有创建节点的权限
- if ((S_ISCHR(mode) || S_ISBLK(mode)) && !capable(CAP_MKNOD))
- return -EPERM;
- if (!dir->i_op->mknod)
- return -EPERM;
- error = devcgroup_inode_mknod(mode, dev);
- if (error)
- return error;
- error = security_inode_mknod(dir, dentry, mode, dev);
- if (error)
- return error;
- //调用具体文件系统的mknod()函数
- //mount时调用shmem_fill_super()-->shmem_get_inode()分配inode节点时做出的初始化
- /*那么在shmem_get_inode中
- caseS_IFDIR:

- inode->i_size= 2 * BOGO_DIRENT_SIZE;
- inode->i_op= &shmem_dir_inode_operations;
- inode->i_fop= &simple_dir_operations;
- 由于mountpoint是dev这个目录,所以dev对应的inode的i_op就是shmem_dir_inode_operations。
- staticconst struct inode_operations shmem_dir_inode_operations = {
- #ifdefCONFIG_TMPFS
- .create =shmem_create,
- .lookup =simple_lookup,
- .link =shmem_link,
- .unlink =shmem_unlink,
- .symlink =shmem_symlink,
- .mkdir =shmem_mkdir,
- .rmdir =shmem_rmdir,
- .mknod =shmem_mknod,
- .rename =shmem_rename,
- #endif
- #ifdefCONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL
- .setattr =shmem_notify_change,
- .setxattr =generic_setxattr,
- .getxattr =generic_getxattr,
- .listxattr =generic_listxattr,
- .removexattr =generic_removexattr,
- .check_acl =generic_check_acl,
- #endif
- };
- */
- error = dir->i_op->mknod(dir, dentry, mode, dev);//所以这里调用的就是shmem_mknod
- if (!error)
- fsnotify_create(dir, dentry);
- return error;
- }
- shmem_mknod(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry, umode_t mode, dev_t dev)
- {
- struct inode *inode;
- int error = -ENOSPC;
- inode = shmem_get_inode(dir->i_sb, dir, mode, dev, VM_NORESERVE);//获得一个要创建的设备节点的inode,并初始化
- if (inode) {
- error = security_inode_init_security(inode, dir,&dentry->d_name,shmem_initxattrs, NULL);
- if (error) {
- if (error != -EOPNOTSUPP) {
- iput(inode);
- return error;
- }
- }
- #ifdef CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL
- error = generic_acl_init(inode, dir);
- if (error) {
- iput(inode);
- return error;
- }
- #else
- error = 0;
- #endif
- dir->i_size += BOGO_DIRENT_SIZE;
- dir->i_ctime = dir->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME;
- d_instantiate(dentry, inode);//与dentry建立关,此时就可以在/dev下看到这个字符设备节点了
- dget(dentry); //递减dentry的计数
- }
- return error;
- }
- 三、文件系统的mount
- 内核主要是通过kernel_init调用prepare_namespace()函数执行安装实际根文件系统的操作:
- void __init prepare_namespace(void)
- {
- int is_floppy;
- if (root_delay) {
- printk(KERN_INFO "Waiting %dsec before mounting root device...\n",
- root_delay);
- ssleep(root_delay);
- }
- wait_for_device_probe();
- md_run_setup();
- /* 把root_device_name变量置为从启动参数“root”中获取的设备文件名。
- * 同样,把ROOT_DEV变量置为同一设备文件的主设备号和次设备号。*/
- if (saved_root_name[0]) {
- root_device_name = saved_root_name;
- if (!strncmp(root_device_name, "mtd", 3) ||
- !strncmp(root_device_name, "ubi", 3)) {
- mount_block_root(root_device_name, root_mountflags);
- goto out;
- }
- ROOT_DEV = name_to_dev_t(root_device_name);//转换为设备号/dev/mtdblock2.
- if (strncmp(root_device_name, "/dev/", 5) == 0)
- root_device_name += 5;
- }
- if (initrd_load())
- goto out;
- /* wait for any asynchronous scanning to complete */
- if ((ROOT_DEV == 0) && root_wait) {
- printk(KERN_INFO "Waiting for root device %s...\n",
- saved_root_name);
- while (driver_probe_done() != 0 ||
- (ROOT_DEV = name_to_dev_t(saved_root_name)) == 0)
- msleep(100);
- async_synchronize_full();
- }
- is_floppy = MAJOR(ROOT_DEV) == FLOPPY_MAJOR;
- if (is_floppy && rd_doload && rd_load_disk(0))
- ROOT_DEV = Root_RAM0;
- mount_root();
- out:
- devtmpfs_mount("dev");//挂载devtmpfs文件系统
- sys_mount(".", "/", NULL, MS_MOVE, NULL); /* 移动rootfs文件系统根目录上的已安装文件系统的安装点。 */
- sys_chroot(".");
- }
- int devtmpfs_mount(const char *mntdir)
- {
- int err;
- if (!mount_dev)
- return 0;
- if (!thread)
- return 0;
- //将devtmpfs文件系统挂载到/dev目录下
- err = sys_mount("devtmpfs", (char *)mntdir, "devtmpfs", MS_SILENT, NULL);
- if (err)
- printk(KERN_INFO "devtmpfs: error mounting %i\n", err);
- else
- printk(KERN_INFO "devtmpfs: mounted\n");
- return err;
- }
- 四、devtmpfs创建节点
- 系统在启动过程中,扫描到的设备会通过devtmpfs_create_node()函数来添加设备节点。
- int devtmpfs_create_node(struct device *dev)
- {
- const char *tmp = NULL;
- struct req req;
- if (!thread)
- return 0;
- req.mode = 0;
- req.name = device_get_devnode(dev, &req.mode, &tmp);//获得设备名
- if (!req.name)
- return -ENOMEM;
- if (req.mode == 0)
- req.mode = 0600;
- if (is_blockdev(dev))
- req.mode |= S_IFBLK;//块设备
- else
- req.mode |= S_IFCHR;//字符设备
- req.dev = dev;
- init_completion(&req.done);
- spin_lock(&req_lock);
- req.next = requests;//请求添加到requests链表
- requests = &req;
- spin_unlock(&req_lock);
- wake_up_process(thread);//唤醒内核线程devtmpfsd添加设备节点
- wait_for_completion(&req.done);
- kfree(tmp);
- return req.err;
- }
- const char *device_get_devnode(struct device *dev,umode_t *mode, const char **tmp)
- {
- char *s;
- *tmp = NULL;
- /* the device type may provide a specific name */
- if (dev->type && dev->type->devnode)
- *tmp = dev->type->devnode(dev, mode);
- if (*tmp)
- return *tmp;
- /* the class may provide a specific name */
- if (dev->class && dev->class->devnode)
- *tmp = dev->class->devnode(dev, mode);
- if (*tmp)
- return *tmp;
- /* return name without allocation, tmp == NULL */
- if (strchr(dev_name(dev), '!') == NULL)
- return dev_name(dev);
- /* replace '!' in the name with '/' */
- *tmp = kstrdup(dev_name(dev), GFP_KERNEL);
- if (!*tmp)
- return NULL;
- while ((s = strchr(*tmp, '!')))
- s[0] = '/';
- return *tmp;
- }
