Linux驱动中completion接口浅析(wait_for_complete例子，很好)【转】

转自：http://blog.csdn.net/batoom/article/details/6298267

completion是一种轻量级的机制，它允许一个线程告诉另一个线程工作已经完成。可以利用下面的宏静态创建completion：
                         DECLARE_COMPLETION(my_completion);

如果运行时创建completion，则必须采用以下方法动态创建和初始化：
                         struct compltion my_completion;
                          init_completion(&my_completion);

completion的相关定义包含在kernel/include/linux/completion.h中：

struct completion {
                                     unsigned int done;
                                     wait_queue_head_t wait;
                         };

#define COMPLETION_INITIALIZER(work) /
                                                           { 0, __WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INITIALIZER((work).wait) }

#define DECLARE_COMPLETION(work) /
                                                      struct completion work = COMPLETION_INITIALIZER(work)

static inline void init_completion(struct completion *x)
{
          x->done = 0;
          init_waitqueue_head(&x->wait);
}

要等待completion，可进行如下调用：
                    void wait_for_completion(struct completion *c);

触发completion事件，调用：
                   void complete(struct completion *c);    //唤醒一个等待线程
                   void complete_all(struct completion *c);//唤醒所有的等待线程

为说明completion的使用方法，将《Linux设备驱动程序》一书中的complete模块的代码摘抄如下：

         wait_for_completion(&comp);
         printk(KERN_DEBUG "awoken %i (%s)/n", current->pid, current->comm);
         return 0; /* EOF */
}

    loff_t *pos)
{
         printk(KERN_DEBUG "process %i (%s) awakening the readers.../n",
         current->pid, current->comm);
         complete(&comp);
         return count; /* succeed, to avoid retrial */
}

struct file_operations complete_fops = {
         .owner = THIS_MODULE,
         .read =    complete_read,
         .write = complete_write,
};

int complete_init(void)
{
         int result;

/*
    * Register your major, and accept a dynamic number
    */
        result = register_chrdev(complete_major, "complete", &complete_fops);
        if (result < 0)
                return result;
        if (complete_major == 0)
                complete_major = result; /* dynamic */
        return 0;
}

void complete_cleanup(void)
{
         unregister_chrdev(complete_major, "complete");
}

module_init(complete_init);
module_exit(complete_cleanup);

该模块定义了一个简单的completion设备：任何试图从该设备中读取的进程都将等待，直到其他设备写入该设备为止。编译此模块的Makefile如下：
obj-m := complete.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
rm -f *.ko *.o *.mod.c

在linux终端中执行以下命令，编译生成模块，并进行动态加载。
#make
#mknod completion c 253 0
#insmod complete.ko
再打开三个终端，一个用于读进程：
#cat completion
一个用于写进程：
#echo >completion
另一个查看系统日志：
#tail -f /var/log/messages

值得注意的是，当我们使用的complete_all接口时，如果要重复使用一个completion结构，则必须执行 INIT_COMPLETION(struct completion c)来重新初始化它。可以在kernel/include/linux/completion.h中找到这个宏的定义：
          #define INIT_COMPLETION(x) ((x).done = 0)

以下代码对书中原有的代码进行了一番变动，将唤醒接口由原来的complete换成了complete_all，并且为了重复利用completion结构，所有读进程都结束后就重新初始化completion结构，具体代码如下：
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>

#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/completion.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");

#undef KERN_DEBUG
#define KERN_DEBUG "<1>"

static int complete_major=253;
static int reader_count = 0;

DECLARE_COMPLETION(comp);

ssize_t complete_read (struct file *filp,char __user *buf,size_t count,loff_t *pos)
{
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "process %i (%s) going to sleep,waiting for writer/n",current->pid,current->comm);
           reader_count++;
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "In read ,before comletion: reader count = %d /n",reader_count);
           wait_for_completion(&comp);
           reader_count--;
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "awoken %s (%i) /n",current->comm,current->pid);
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "In read,after completion : reader count = %d /n",reader_count);

/*如果使用complete_all，则completion结构只能用一次，再次使用它时必须调用此宏进行重新初始化*/
           if(reader_count == 0)
                       INIT_COMPLETION(comp);

return 0;
}

ssize_t complete_write(struct file *filp,const char __user *buf,size_t count,loff_t *pos)
{
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "process %i (%s) awoking the readers.../n",current->pid,current->comm);
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "In write ,before do complete_all : reader count = %d /n",reader_count);

if(reader_count != 0)  
                   complete_all(&comp);

printk(KERN_DEBUG "In write ,after do complete_all : reader count = %d /n",reader_count);

return count;
}

struct file_operations complete_fops={
           .owner = THIS_MODULE,
           .read = complete_read,
           .write = complete_write,
};

int complete_init(void)
{
           int result;

result=register_chrdev(complete_major,"complete",&complete_fops);
           if(result<0)
                    return result;
           if(complete_major==0)
                   complete_major =result;

printk(KERN_DEBUG    "complete driver test init! complete_major=%d/n",complete_major);
           printk(KERN_DEBUG "静态初始化completion/n");

return 0;
}

void complete_exit(void)
{
           unregister_chrdev(complete_major,"complete");
           printk(KERN_DEBUG    "complete driver    is removed/n");
}

module_init(complete_init);
module_exit(complete_exit);

这里测试步骤和上述一样，只不过需要多打开几个终端来执行多个进程同时读操作。
