从上述源代码中我们发现,块设备也以与字符设备register_chrdev、unregister_ chrdev 函数类似的方法进行设备的注册与释放:
int register_blkdev(unsigned int major, const char *name, struct block_device_operations *bdops); int unregister_blkdev(unsigned int major, const char *name); |
但是,register_chrdev使用一个向 file_operations 结构的指针,而register_blkdev 则使用 block_device_operations 结构的指针,其中定义的open、release 和 ioctl 方法和字符设备的对应方法相同,但未定义 read 或者 write 操作。这是因为,所有涉及到块设备的 I/O 通常由系统进行缓冲处理。
块驱动程序最终必须提供完成实际块 I/O 操作的机制,在 Linux 当中,用于这些 I/O 操作的方法称为"request(请求)"。在块设备的注册过程中,需要初始化request队列,这一动作通过blk_init_queue来完成, blk_init_queue函数建立队列,并将该驱动程序的 request 函数关联到队列。在模块的清除阶段,应调用 blk_cleanup_queue 函数。
