open()系统调用用来打开一个文件,本文就VFS层,对open系统调用的过程进行一个简单的分析。
- SYSCALL_DEFINE3(open, constchar __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode)
- {
- long ret;
- if (force_o_largefile())
- flags |= O_LARGEFILE;
- ret = do_sys_open(AT_FDCWD, filename, flags, mode);
- /* avoid REGPARM breakage on x86: */
- asmlinkage_protect(3, ret, filename, flags, mode);
- return ret;
- }
force_o_largefile()用来判断系统是否为32位的,如果不是32位,也就是说为64位,则将O_LARGEFILE置位,主体工作由do_sys_open()来做
- long do_sys_open(int dfd, constchar __user *filename, int flags, int mode)
- {
- char *tmp = getname(filename);//拷贝文件名字符串到内核空间
- int fd = PTR_ERR(tmp);
- if (!IS_ERR(tmp)) {
- fd = get_unused_fd_flags(flags);//为文件分配一个文件描述符
- if (fd >= 0) {
- //实际的OPEN操作处理
- struct file *f = do_filp_open(dfd, tmp, flags, mode, 0);
- if (IS_ERR(f)) {
- put_unused_fd(fd);
- fd = PTR_ERR(f);
- } else {
- fsnotify_open(f->f_path.dentry);
- fd_install(fd, f);
- }
- }
- putname(tmp);
- }
- return fd;
- }
open操作是特定于某个进程进行的,因此涉及到了VFS中特定于进程的结构,这里简单的介绍下
struct files_struct {
/*
* read mostly part
*/
atomic_t count;
struct fdtable *fdt;
struct fdtable fdtab;
/*
* written part on a separate cache line in SMP
*/
spinlock_t file_lock ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
int next_fd;
struct embedded_fd_set close_on_exec_init;
struct embedded_fd_set open_fds_init;
struct file * fd_array[NR_OPEN_DEFAULT];
};
count表示共享该结构的进程数
fdtable是该进程的文件描述符数组
fdt指向fdtable
next_fd表示最大文件描述符号+1
embedded_fd_set是一个位图结构,用来标记文件描述符,close_on_exec_init用来标记那些执行exec时要关闭的文件的文件描述符,open_fds_init用来标记已经分配出去了的文件描述符
fd_array用来存储进程打开的文件的struct file指针
do_sys_open()的一个重要任务就是调用get_unused_fd_flags()为即将打开的文件分配一个文件描述符
#define get_unused_fd_flags(flags) alloc_fd(0, (flags))
int alloc_fd(unsigned start, unsigned flags)
{
struct files_struct *files = current->files;//获取当前进程的files_struct
unsigned int fd;
int error;
struct fdtable *fdt;
spin_lock(&files->file_lock);
repeat:
fdt = files_fdtable(files);//获取进程的fdtable
fd = start;
if (fd < files->next_fd)
fd = files->next_fd;
if (fd < fdt->max_fds)
fd = find_next_zero_bit(fdt->open_fds->fds_bits,
fdt->max_fds, fd);//从位图中获取一个空闲位
error = expand_files(files, fd);//这里根据需要扩充文件描述符数组
if (error < 0)
goto out;
/*
* If we needed to expand the fs array we
* might have blocked – try again.
*/
if (error)//之前进行了扩充操作,重新进行一次空闲bit的搜索
goto repeat;
if (start <= files->next_fd)
files->next_fd = fd + 1;
FD_SET(fd, fdt->open_fds);//在open_fds的位图上置位
if (flags & O_CLOEXEC)//如果设定了O_CLOEXEC,则在close_on_exec位图上将相应位置位
FD_SET(fd, fdt->close_on_exec);
else
FD_CLR(fd, fdt->close_on_exec);
error = fd;
#if 1
/* Sanity check */
if (rcu_dereference(fdt->fd[fd]) != NULL) {
printk(KERN_WARNING “alloc_fd: slot %d not NULL!\n”, fd);
rcu_assign_pointer(fdt->fd[fd], NULL);
}
#endif
out:
spin_unlock(&files->file_lock);
return error;
}
int alloc_fd(unsigned start, unsigned flags)
{
struct files_struct *files = current->files;//获取当前进程的files_struct
unsigned int fd;
int error;
struct fdtable *fdt;
spin_lock(&files->file_lock);
repeat:
fdt = files_fdtable(files);//获取进程的fdtable
fd = start;
if (fd < files->next_fd)
fd = files->next_fd;
if (fd < fdt->max_fds)
fd = find_next_zero_bit(fdt->open_fds->fds_bits,
fdt->max_fds, fd);//从位图中获取一个空闲位
error = expand_files(files, fd);//这里根据需要扩充文件描述符数组
if (error < 0)
goto out;
/*
* If we needed to expand the fs array we
* might have blocked – try again.
*/
if (error)//之前进行了扩充操作,重新进行一次空闲bit的搜索
goto repeat;
if (start <= files->next_fd)
files->next_fd = fd + 1;
FD_SET(fd, fdt->open_fds);//在open_fds的位图上置位
if (flags & O_CLOEXEC)//如果设定了O_CLOEXEC,则在close_on_exec位图上将相应位置位
FD_SET(fd, fdt->close_on_exec);
else
FD_CLR(fd, fdt->close_on_exec);
error = fd;
#if 1
/* Sanity check */
if (rcu_dereference(fdt->fd[fd]) != NULL) {
printk(KERN_WARNING “alloc_fd: slot %d not NULL!\n”, fd);
rcu_assign_pointer(fdt->fd[fd], NULL);
}
#endif
out:
spin_unlock(&files->file_lock);
return error;
}
实际的扩充操作:
static int expand_fdtable(struct files_struct *files, int nr)
__releases(files->file_lock)
__acquires(files->file_lock)
{
struct fdtable *new_fdt, *cur_fdt;
spin_unlock(&files->file_lock);
new_fdt = alloc_fdtable(nr);//根据nr重新创建一个新的fdtable
spin_lock(&files->file_lock);
if (!new_fdt)
return -ENOMEM;
/*
* extremely unlikely race – sysctl_nr_open decreased between the check in
* caller and alloc_fdtable(). Cheaper to catch it here…
*/
/*这里为了防止因为竞争,在alloc_fdtable调用之前systl_nr_open减小了新创建的fdtable小于nr*/
if (unlikely(new_fdt->max_fds <= nr)) {
free_fdarr(new_fdt);
free_fdset(new_fdt);
kfree(new_fdt);
return -EMFILE;
}
/*
* Check again since another task may have expanded the fd table while
* we dropped the lock
*/
cur_fdt = files_fdtable(files);//获取旧的fdtable
if (nr >= cur_fdt->max_fds) {//新的nr必须大于旧的fdtable的大小
/* Continue as planned */
copy_fdtable(new_fdt, cur_fdt);//将旧的fdtable中的内容拷贝至新的fdtable
rcu_assign_pointer(files->fdt, new_fdt);//用新的fdtable替换旧的fdtable
if (cur_fdt->max_fds > NR_OPEN_DEFAULT)
free_fdtable(cur_fdt);//释放旧的fdtable
} else {
/* Somebody else expanded, so undo our attempt */
free_fdarr(new_fdt);
free_fdset(new_fdt);
kfree(new_fdt);
}
return 1;
}
到此为止,分配新的fd的工作完成,如果分配fd成功,接下来do_sys_open()就要通过do_filp_open()函数查找文件并执行相应的打开操作
do_filp_open的工作针对两种情况进行:
1.flag中未标识O_CREAT,也就是只进行单纯的搜索打开,如果没有搜索到目标文件的话,不会进行创建,这种情况处理起来比较简单,主要工作就是通过路径解析来查找文件,查找到了的话再根据文件系统定义的open方式进行打开
2.flag中标识了O_CREAT,也就是说如果没找到目标文件要进行创建。这种情况要先查找目标文件的父目录(通过将LOOKUP_PARENT标识置位然后进行路径解析来实现),因为假如没查找到目标文件的话,创建工作需要在父目录下完成;然后再查找最后一个文件分量,也就是目标文件,并进行打开操作,其中涉及到的许多部分在前面几篇文章中也都已经分析过了 http://www.linuxidc.com/search.aspx?where=nkey&keyword=3305
