在文件读写之前,我们必须先打开文件。从应用程序的角度来看,这是通过标准库的open函数完成的,该函数返回一个文件描述符。内核中是由系统调用sys_open()函数完成。
[cpp]
- /*sys_open*/
- SYSCALL_DEFINE3(open, const char __user *, filename, int, flags, int, mode)
- {
- long ret;
- /*检查是否应该不考虑用户层传递的标志、总是强行设置
- O_LARGEFILE标志。如果底层处理器的字长不是32位,就是这种
- 情况*/
- if (force_o_largefile())
- flags |= O_LARGEFILE;
- /*实际工作*/
- ret = do_sys_open(AT_FDCWD, filename, flags, mode);
- /* avoid REGPARM breakage on x86: */
- asmlinkage_protect(3, ret, filename, flags, mode);
- return ret;
- }
实际实现工作
[cpp]
- <pre class=“cpp” name=“code”>long do_sys_open(int dfd, const char __user *filename, int flags, int mode)
- {
- /*从进程地址空间读取该文件的路径名*/
- char *tmp = getname(filename);
- int fd = PTR_ERR(tmp);
- if (!IS_ERR(tmp)) {
- /*在内核中,每个打开的文件由一个文件描述符表示
- 该描述符在特定于进程的数组中充当位置索引(数组是
- task_struct->files->fd_arry),该数组的元素包含了file结构,其中
- 包括每个打开文件的所有必要信息。因此,调用下面
- 函数查找一个未使用的文件描述符,返回的是上面
- 说的数组的下标*/
- fd = get_unused_fd_flags(flags);
- if (fd >= 0) {
- /*fd获取成功则开始打开文件,此函数是主要完成打开功能的函数*/
- 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;
- }
