- 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

- 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 = {

- 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;
- }
