2.6.36中struct file

最近在做Linux驱动方面的东西。发现涉及到.ioctl部分存在着问题。我的电脑是2.6.32.127的内核，这个用起来没有问题。而我把它放到2.6.36的内核中就有了问题，报错为.ioctl不存在。我特意查了源码中的相关定义，发现2.6.36中少了

int (*ioctl) (struct inode *, struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);

这一行，而仅剩下

 long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long); long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);

这两行关于ioctl操作的函数

 

在这种情况下，我们只能用long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);来替换掉之前的int (*ioctl) (struct inode *, struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);但是还是存在着问题，即他们的返回值是不同的。

unlocked_ioctl: long ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long args);old ioctl: int ioctl(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long args);

同时unlocked_ioctl去除了"inode" 函数指针(which can be obtained anyways through the filp),

另外The 'inode' value that was passed to 'ioctl' function is available for use with the 'unlocked_ioctl' function by way of filp->d_entry->d_inode:    long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);    ...    struct inode *inode = filp->d_entry->d_inode;

There is a nice explanation of this at http://lwn.net/Articles/119652/

 

其在几个版本中的具体定义如下：

 

2.6.36的fs.h中file_operations 定义

#define HAVE_COMPAT_IOCTL 1#define HAVE_UNLOCKED_IOCTL 1

struct file_operations { struct module *owner; loff_t (*llseek) (struct file *, loff_t, int); ssize_t (*read) (struct file *, char __user *, size_t, loff_t *); ssize_t (*write) (struct file *, const char __user *, size_t, loff_t *); ssize_t (*aio_read) (struct kiocb *, const struct iovec *, unsigned long, loff_t); ssize_t (*aio_write) (struct kiocb *, const struct iovec *, unsigned long, loff_t); int (*readdir) (struct file *, void *, filldir_t); unsigned int (*poll) (struct file *, struct poll_table_struct *); long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long); long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long); int (*mmap) (struct file *, struct vm_area_struct *); int (*open) (struct inode *, struct file *); int (*flush) (struct file *, fl_owner_t id); int (*release) (struct inode *, struct file *); int (*fsync) (struct file *, int datasync); int (*aio_fsync) (struct kiocb *, int datasync); int (*fasync) (int, struct file *, int); int (*lock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *); ssize_t (*sendpage) (struct file *, struct page *, int, size_t, loff_t *, int); unsigned long (*get_unmapped_area)(struct file *, unsigned long, unsigned long,

unsigned long, unsigned long); int (*check_flags)(int); int (*flock) (struct file *, int, struct file_lock *); ssize_t (*splice_write)(struct pipe_inode_info *, struct file *, loff_t *, size_t,

unsigned int); ssize_t (*splice_read)(struct file *, loff_t *, struct pipe_inode_info *, size_t,

unsigned int); int (*setlease)(struct file *, long, struct file_lock **);};

 

2.6.34版本的fs.h这里如下
