网络协议栈学习（二）创建 socket

　　下面通过学习linux 1.2.13源码进一步理解socket通信机制。对该版本源码的学习主要参考《Linux内核网络栈源代码情景分析》（曹桂平 编著）。

　　要理解socket的本质，就要理解当调用socket函数时，该函数到底创建了什么？返回了什么？

int  socket(int family, int type, int protocol);

　　socket 函数为用户层函数，该函数对应的内核函数为sock_socket(socket.c文件），源码如下：

static int sock_socket(int family, int type, int protocol)
{
    int i, fd;
    struct socket *sock;
    struct proto_ops *ops;
 
    /* Locate the correct protocol family. */
    for (i = ; i < NPROTO; ++i)
    {
        if (pops[i] == NULL) continue;
        if (pops[i]->family == family)
            break;
    }
 
    if (i == NPROTO)
    {
          return -EINVAL;
    }
 
    ops = pops[i];
 
/*
 *    Check that this is a type that we know how to manipulate and
 *    the protocol makes sense here. The family can still reject the
 *    protocol later.
 */
 
    if ((type != SOCK_STREAM && type != SOCK_DGRAM &&
        type != SOCK_SEQPACKET && type != SOCK_RAW &&
        type != SOCK_PACKET) || protocol < )
            return(-EINVAL);
 
/*
 *    Allocate the socket and allow the family to set things up. if
 *    the protocol is 0, the family is instructed to select an appropriate
 *    default.
 */
 
    if (!(sock = sock_alloc()))
    {
        printk("NET: sock_socket: no more sockets\n");
        return(-ENOSR);    /* Was: EAGAIN, but we are out of
                   system resources! */
    }
 
    sock->type = type;
    sock->ops = ops;
    if ((i = sock->ops->create(sock, protocol)) < )
    {
        sock_release(sock);
        return(i);
    }
 
    if ((fd = get_fd(SOCK_INODE(sock))) < )
    {
        sock_release(sock);
        return(-EINVAL);
    }
 
    return(fd);
}

　　 sock_socket 函数完成如下工作：

（1）分配socket、sock结构，这两个结构在网络栈的不同层次表示一个套接字连接。

（2）分配inode、file结构用于普通文件操作。

（3）分配一个文件描述符并返回给应用程序作为以后的操作句柄。

　　sock_alloc 函数用于分配一个inode节点，并返回该节点的socket指针

struct socket *sock_alloc(void)
{
    struct inode * inode;
    struct socket * sock;
 
    inode = get_empty_inode();
    if (!inode)
        return NULL;
 
    inode->i_mode = S_IFSOCK;
    inode->i_sock = ;
    inode->i_uid = current->uid;
    inode->i_gid = current->gid;
 
    sock = &inode->u.socket_i;
    sock->state = SS_UNCONNECTED;
    sock->flags = ;
    sock->ops = NULL;
    sock->data = NULL;
    sock->conn = NULL;
    sock->iconn = NULL;
    sock->next = NULL;
    sock->wait = &inode->i_wait;
    sock->inode = inode;        /* "backlink": we could use pointer arithmetic instead */
    sock->fasync_list = NULL;
    sockets_in_use++;
    return sock;
}

inode的定义如下

/* include/fs.h */
struct inode {
    dev_t        i_dev;
    unsigned long    i_ino;
    umode_t        i_mode;
    nlink_t        i_nlink;
    uid_t        i_uid;
    gid_t        i_gid;
    dev_t        i_rdev;
    off_t        i_size;
    time_t        i_atime;
    time_t        i_mtime;
    time_t        i_ctime;
    unsigned long    i_blksize;
    unsigned long    i_blocks;
    unsigned long    i_version;
    struct semaphore i_sem;
    struct inode_operations * i_op;
    struct super_block * i_sb;
    struct wait_queue * i_wait;
    struct file_lock * i_flock;
    struct vm_area_struct * i_mmap;
    struct inode * i_next, * i_prev;
    struct inode * i_hash_next, * i_hash_prev;
    struct inode * i_bound_to, * i_bound_by;
    struct inode * i_mount;
    unsigned short i_count;
    unsigned short i_wcount;
    unsigned short i_flags;
    unsigned char i_lock;
    unsigned char i_dirt;
    unsigned char i_pipe;
    unsigned char i_sock;
    unsigned char i_seek;
    unsigned char i_update;
    union {
        struct pipe_inode_info pipe_i;
        struct minix_inode_info minix_i;
        struct ext_inode_info ext_i;
        struct ext2_inode_info ext2_i;
        struct hpfs_inode_info hpfs_i;
        struct msdos_inode_info msdos_i;
        struct umsdos_inode_info umsdos_i;
        struct iso_inode_info isofs_i;
        struct nfs_inode_info nfs_i;
        struct xiafs_inode_info xiafs_i;
        struct sysv_inode_info sysv_i;
        struct socket socket_i;
        void * generic_ip;
    } u;
};

　　inode 结构是文件系统的一个结构体，该结构体中的成员变量u指明了该inode结构具体的文件类型，当inode是用于socket通信时，u的值就为socket_i。sock_alloc 的作用就是创建inode结构体，然后返回socket_i的地址。至于具体如何分配inode涉及到文件系统方面的知识，这里暂不讨论。

　　当协议族为AF_INET时，ops->create 将调用inet_create(struct socket*sock, int protocol)函数。该函数将创建一个sock结构体并使得socket的data指针指向该sock结构体。

static int inet_create(struct socket *sock, int protocol)
{
    struct sock *sk;
    struct proto *prot;
    int err;
 
    sk = (struct sock *) kmalloc(sizeof(*sk), GFP_KERNEL);
    if (sk == NULL)
        return(-ENOBUFS);
    sk->num = ;
    sk->reuse = ;
    switch(sock->type)
    {
        case SOCK_STREAM:
        case SOCK_SEQPACKET:
            if (protocol && protocol != IPPROTO_TCP)
            {
                kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
                return(-EPROTONOSUPPORT);
            }
            protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;
            sk->no_check = TCP_NO_CHECK;
            prot = &tcp_prot;
            break;
 
        case SOCK_DGRAM:
            if (protocol && protocol != IPPROTO_UDP)
            {
                kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
                return(-EPROTONOSUPPORT);
            }
            protocol = IPPROTO_UDP;
            sk->no_check = UDP_NO_CHECK;
            prot=&udp_prot;
            break;
 
        case SOCK_RAW:
            if (!suser())
            {
                kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
                return(-EPERM);
            }
            if (!protocol)
            {
                kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
                return(-EPROTONOSUPPORT);
            }
            prot = &raw_prot;
            sk->reuse = ;
            sk->no_check = ;    /*
                         * Doesn't matter no checksum is
                         * performed anyway.
                         */
            sk->num = protocol;
            break;
 
        case SOCK_PACKET:
            if (!suser())
            {
                kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
                return(-EPERM);
            }
            if (!protocol)
            {
                kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
                return(-EPROTONOSUPPORT);
            }
            prot = &packet_prot;
            sk->reuse = ;
            sk->no_check = ;    /* Doesn't matter no checksum is
                         * performed anyway.
                         */
            sk->num = protocol;
            break;
 
        default:
            kfree_s((void *)sk, sizeof(*sk));
            return(-ESOCKTNOSUPPORT);
    }
    sk->socket = sock;
#ifdef CONFIG_TCP_NAGLE_OFF
    sk->nonagle = ;
#else
    sk->nonagle = ;
#endif
    sk->type = sock->type;
    sk->stamp.tv_sec=;
    sk->protocol = protocol;
        ......
    sk->timer.function = &net_timer;
    skb_queue_head_init(&sk->back_log);
    sk->blog = ;
    sock->data =(void *) sk; //socket 指向 sock
    sk->dummy_th.doff = sizeof(sk->dummy_th)/;
       ......
    if (sk->prot->init)
    {
        err = sk->prot->init(sk);
        if (err != )
        {
            destroy_sock(sk);
            return(err);
        }
    }
    return();
}

　　最后调用get_fd 返回一个文件描述符给上层应用。

/* socket.c */
static int get_fd(struct inode *inode)
{
    int fd;
    struct file *file;
 
    /*
     *    Find a file descriptor suitable for return to the user.
     */
 
    file = get_empty_filp(); // 获取一个闲置的file结构
    if (!file)
        return(-);
 
    for (fd = ; fd < NR_OPEN; ++fd)
        if (!current->files->fd[fd])
            break;
    if (fd == NR_OPEN)
    {
        file->f_count = ;
        return(-);
    }
 
    FD_CLR(fd, &current->files->close_on_exec);
        current->files->fd[fd] = file;
    file->f_op = &socket_file_ops; // socket 文件操作
    file->f_mode = ;
    file->f_flags = O_RDWR;
    file->f_count = ;
    file->f_inode = inode;
    if (inode)
        inode->i_count++;
    file->f_pos = ;
    return(fd);
}

　　get_fd 用于为网络套接字分配一个文件描述符，分配描述符的同时需要一个file结构，每个file结构都需要一个inode结构对应。内核维护一个file结构数据，get_empty_filp 函数即通过检查该数组，获取一个闲置的成员。f_op 字段的赋值实现了网络操作的普通文件接口。如果调用write、read函数进行操作就会调用相应的sock_read 和 sock_write 函数。

　　如何根据文件描述如fd找到相应的sock？
