Linux 驱动框架---net驱动框架
阅读原文时间:2021年06月27日阅读:1

这一篇主要是学习网络设备驱动框架性的东西具体的实例分析可以参考Linux 驱动框架---dm9000分析 。Linux 对于网络设备的驱动的定义分了四层分别是网络接口层对上是IP,ARP等网络协议,因为网络协议还是相对复杂的肯定是由内核来实现的(符合Linux驱动一贯的风格就是内核做的更多);网络设备接口层实际上就是对网络设备操作的封装,封装成一个结构体由驱动工程师来填充内容从而做到抽象;设备驱动功能层其实就是网络设备接口层封装好的接口的具体实现以操作硬件设备完成指定动作的软件部分;网络设备与媒介层(MAC和PHY偏硬件部分)。网络协议接口层就是对上提供的发送和接收接口。发送接口接受上层协议下发的应用数据(已经使用struct sk_buff 数据结构封装)然后调用设备接口层驱动硬件完成数据发送;其次是数据接收其主要是在由物理层接收完数据后同样用struct sk_buff 结构封装后交给网络协议层的接口。驱动框架的简单的层级结构如下:

网络协议接口层对网络层提供两个了主要接口用于数据的发送(int dev_queue_xmit(struct sk_buff* skb))和接收(int netif_rx(struct sk_buff* skb))。

数据发送接口由应用程序和协议栈主动在内核空间调用,这一部分偏内核部分(内核实现)的就是操作net_device 上的一个queue将数据包放进去,最后进行合适的调度调用网络设备接口层进而进入设备驱动功能层完成数据包的发送。

int dev_queue_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
return __dev_queue_xmit(skb, NULL);
}
=======》
static int __dev_queue_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, void *accel_priv)
{
struct net_device *dev = skb->dev;
struct netdev_queue *txq;
struct Qdisc *q;
int rc = -ENOMEM;

skb\_reset\_mac\_header(skb);

/\* Disable soft irqs for various locks below. Also  
 \* stops preemption for RCU.  
 \*/  
rcu\_read\_lock\_bh();

skb\_update\_prio(skb);

txq = netdev\_pick\_tx(dev, skb, accel\_priv);  
q = rcu\_dereference\_bh(txq->qdisc);

#ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT
skb->tc_verd = SET_TC_AT(skb->tc_verd, AT_EGRESS);
#endif
trace_net_dev_queue(skb);
if (q->enqueue) {
rc = __dev_xmit_skb(skb, q, dev, txq);
goto out;
}

/\* The device has no queue. Common case for software devices:  
   loopback, all the sorts of tunnels...

   Really, it is unlikely that netif\_tx\_lock protection is necessary  
   here.  (f.e. loopback and IP tunnels are clean ignoring statistics  
   counters.)  
   However, it is possible, that they rely on protection  
   made by us here.

   Check this and shot the lock. It is not prone from deadlocks.  
   Either shot noqueue qdisc, it is even simpler 8)  
 \*/  
if (dev->flags & IFF\_UP) {  
    int cpu = smp\_processor\_id(); /\* ok because BHs are off \*/

    if (txq->xmit\_lock\_owner != cpu) {

        if (\_\_this\_cpu\_read(xmit\_recursion) > RECURSION\_LIMIT)  
            goto recursion\_alert;

        HARD\_TX\_LOCK(dev, txq, cpu);

        if (!netif\_xmit\_stopped(txq)) {  
            \_\_this\_cpu\_inc(xmit\_recursion);  
            rc = dev\_hard\_start\_xmit(skb, dev, txq);  
            \_\_this\_cpu\_dec(xmit\_recursion);  
            if (dev\_xmit\_complete(rc)) {  
                HARD\_TX\_UNLOCK(dev, txq);  
                goto out;  
            }  
        }  
        HARD\_TX\_UNLOCK(dev, txq);  
        net\_crit\_ratelimited("Virtual device %s asks to queue packet!\\n",  
                     dev->name);  
    } else {  
        /\* Recursion is detected! It is possible,  
         \* unfortunately  
         \*/  

recursion_alert:
net_crit_ratelimited("Dead loop on virtual device %s, fix it urgently!\n",
dev->name);
}
}

rc = -ENETDOWN;  
rcu\_read\_unlock\_bh();

atomic\_long\_inc(&dev->tx\_dropped);  
kfree\_skb(skb);  
return rc;  

out:
rcu_read_unlock_bh();
return rc;
}

数据接收接口也是内核的部分代码由内核实现,是内核留给驱动层接口上报接收到数据的接口路径,网络设备驱动在中断或轮询中收到数据包后需要打包一个socket数据包(struct sk_buff)然后通过内核数据接收接口上报给内核上层。

int netif_rx(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
trace_netif_rx_entry(skb);

return netif\_rx\_internal(skb);  

}
static int netif_rx_internal(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
int ret;

net\_timestamp\_check(netdev\_tstamp\_prequeue, skb);

trace\_netif\_rx(skb);  

#ifdef CONFIG_RPS
if (static_key_false(&rps_needed)) {
struct rps_dev_flow voidflow, *rflow = &voidflow;
int cpu;

    preempt\_disable();  
    rcu\_read\_lock();

    cpu = get\_rps\_cpu(skb->dev, skb, &rflow);  
    if (cpu < 0)  
        cpu = smp\_processor\_id();

    ret = enqueue\_to\_backlog(skb, cpu, &rflow->last\_qtail);

    rcu\_read\_unlock();  
    preempt\_enable();  
} else  

#endif
{
unsigned int qtail;
ret = enqueue_to_backlog(skb, get_cpu(), &qtail);
put_cpu();
}
return ret;
}

由上面的代码可以看出来 struct sk_buff 在网络驱动中是一个非常重要的数据结构。网络数据的整个传输过程就是对这个数据结构的访问修改读取的过程,所以先来简单了解一下这个数据结构

struct sk_buff {
/* These two members must be first. */
struct sk_buff *next;
struct sk_buff *prev;

union {  
    ktime\_t        tstamp;  
    struct skb\_mstamp skb\_mstamp;  
};

struct sock        \*sk;  
struct net\_device    \*dev;

/\*  
 \* This is the control buffer. It is free to use for every  
 \* layer. Please put your private variables there. If you  
 \* want to keep them across layers you have to do a skb\_clone()  
 \* first. This is owned by whoever has the skb queued ATM.  
 \*/

};

成员还是比较多的但是内核提供了对应的接口函数来直观的操作他,其中数据相关重要的成语有四个head、data、tail、end对这个结构的关系如下图

除此之外与之相关的驱动接口有如下几个。

申请套接字缓冲区

struct sk_buff* alloc_sbk(unsigned int len,gfp_t priority)
struct sk_buff* dev_alloc_skb(unsigned int len)

其中len为数据缓冲区的大小,对应释放的接口有

void kfree_skb(struct sk_buff* skb);
void dev_kfree_skb(unsigned int len);
void dev_kfree_skb_irq(unsigned int len);
//其实就是在上面两种接口的封装增加了是否为中断中的判断。
void dev_kfree_skb_any(unsigned int len);

数据包操作

//skb->tail向后移动len,skb->len增加len
unsigned char *skb_put(struct sk_buff* skb,unsigned int len);
//skb->data向前移动len,skb->len增加len
unsigned char *skb_push(struct sk_buff* skb,unsigned int len);
//skb->data向后移动len,skb->len减少len
unsigned char *skb_pull(struct sk_buff* skb,unsigned int len);
//skb->tail和skb->data同时向后移动len
unsigned char *skb_reserve(struct sk_buff* skb,unsigned int len);

上面这些接口会在驱动中调用具体驱动分析时在详细学习。

内核抽象了网络设备接口的封装但是这个结构十分庞大且复杂其中涵盖统计属性、配置等定义如下:

struct net_device

其中主要的成员有

1、全局的信息
name

2、硬件信息

定义设备所使用的共享内存的内存信息和中断等。
unsigned long mem_start
unsigned long mem_end

unsigned long base_addr
unsigned char irq
unsigned char if_port

其中if_port 为多端口设备使用。

3、接口信息
hard_header_len 硬件头长度
type 接口硬件类型
mtu
flags 接口特性标志,部分由内核使用
4、设备操作函数netdev_ops (驱动的重点实现部分),驱动有时还需要实现一部分网络工具需要的接口函数。放在这个结构体的net_device->ethtool_ops (非必须,常见有设置设备MAC地址等)

这里重要先看一下网络设备操作接口,定义如下:

struct net_device_ops {
int (*ndo_init)(struct net_device *dev);

很多也很复杂但也是实现必要的部分就可以了。具体的每个函数的作用后面分析驱动实例时候在全部看这里暂时记录一部部分自己现在理解的。当实现好一个网络设备并填充绑定了必须的接口信息之后就可以将网络设备注册到内核了。

网络设备的初始化(ndo_init成员)

在这个接口一般完成硬件的准备工作,检查硬件,并获取记录硬件资源。软件接口的准备工作。初始化私有成员并绑定到设备。

网络设备打开和关闭(ndo_open 和ndo_stop)

使能设备的硬件资源如中断申请,DMA 使能和配置。调用netif_start_queque()激活设备发送队列。关闭过程就是释放和关闭前面申请的资源调用netif_stop_queque()停止设备数据包传输。

数据发送过程
网络设备的数据传输过程依赖内核的一个数据结构struct sk_buff网络层打包一个完全的数据包,由下层一层层使用去除各层信息最后到达物理设备完成数据在电路上的传输。
int xxx_tx(struct sk_buff*sk_buff,struct net_device* dev)
{
   执行软件操作逻辑的处理,如等待队列---阻塞调用进程等。
   记录信息和超时的处理
   操作硬件设备寄存器等完成数据到硬件设备。
   最后有硬件设备将数据合适时间完成发送。
  发送完成后还要唤醒组册的队列中的进程。
}

数据接收过程
数据的接受一般都是由中断触发的,硬件完成数据的接收和校验后将调用网络设备的接收接口函数,将接收到的数据封成一个struct sk_buff 结构体然后通过
void xxx_rx(struct net_device* dev)
向上层递交数据。除此之外有些网络设备是NAPI兼容设备,就是对数据接收支持轮询的方式,此时这个轮询函数也封装在设备操作中,并且由指定的接口启动和停止轮询一般都是数据的第一包到来后进入中断在中断中启动轮询调度。当受到数据时
他将调用netif_receive_skb(struct sk_buff* sk_buff)提交数据给上层协议。详细具体的信息后面在学习。具体的设备连接状态信息统计等等详细的内容这里也暂时不详细看,后续用到来继续】
深入具体的学习,这里还是前面的话重在走粗线条,太细后面不用也记不住。

网络设备成员实现完成后就需要通过对应的接口完成注册使用接口
int register_netdev(struct net_device* dev)
同时还有注销接口
void unregister_netdevice(struct net_device* dev)
Linux 还提供了一些宏完成网络设备的内存申请和成员的部分初始化。其最后都是通过调用
struct net_device* net_dev_mqs(int sizeof_priv,const char* name,void(*setup)(struct net_device*),unsigned int txgs,unsigned int txgs);
来分配内存和初始化网络设备。网络设备的注册和普通设备的注册没有太大的区别不在详细看。
