ioctl 命令的实现

ioctl 的 scull 实现只传递设备的配置参数, 并且象下面这样容易: switch(cmd)

{

case SCULL_IOCRESET:

scull_quantum = SCULL_QUANTUM; scull_qset = SCULL_QSET; break;

 

case SCULL_IOCSQUANTUM: /* Set: arg points to the value */ if (! capable (CAP_SYS_ADMIN))

 

return -EPERM;

retval = get_user(scull_quantum, (int user *)arg); break;

 

case SCULL_IOCTQUANTUM: /* Tell: arg is the value */ if (! capable (CAP_SYS_ADMIN))

 

return -EPERM; scull_quantum = arg; break;

 

case SCULL_IOCGQUANTUM: /* Get: arg is pointer to result */ retval = put_user(scull_quantum, (int user *)arg); break;

 

case SCULL_IOCQQUANTUM: /* Query: return it (it's positive) */ return scull_quantum;

 

case SCULL_IOCXQUANTUM: /* eXchange: use arg as pointer */ if (! capable (CAP_SYS_ADMIN))

 

return -EPERM; tmp = scull_quantum;

retval =   get_user(scull_quantum, (int   user *)arg);

if (retval == 0)

 

retval =   put_user(tmp, (int   user *)arg);

break;

 

case SCULL_IOCHQUANTUM: /* sHift: like Tell + Query */ if (! capable (CAP_SYS_ADMIN))

return -EPERM;

tmp = scull_quantum; scull_quantum = arg; return tmp;

 

default: /* redundant, as cmd was checked against MAXNR */ return -ENOTTY;

}

return retval;

 

scull 还包含 6 个入口项作用于 scull_qset. 这些入口项和给 scull_quantum 的是一 致的, 并且不值得展示出来.

从调用者的观点看(即从用户空间), 这 6 种传递和接收参数的方法看来如下: int quantum;

ioctl(fd,SCULL_IOCSQUANTUM, &quantum);  /* Set by pointer */

ioctl(fd,SCULL_IOCTQUANTUM, quantum);  /* Set by value */ ioctl(fd,SCULL_IOCGQUANTUM, &quantum); /* Get by pointer */ quantum = ioctl(fd,SCULL_IOCQQUANTUM);           /* Get by return value */ ioctl(fd,SCULL_IOCXQUANTUM, &quantum); /* Exchange by pointer */

 

quantum = ioctl(fd,SCULL_IOCHQUANTUM, quantum); /* Exchange by value */

 

当然, 一个正常的驱动不可能实现这样一个调用模式的混合体. 我们这里这样做只是为了 演示做事情的不同方式. 但是, 正常地, 数据交换将一致地进行, 通过指针或者通过值, 并且要避免混合这 2 种技术.
