目前，我正在学习的Linux设备驱动程序。 而被困在如何打开设备文件的工作？
我得到了什么直到现在......考虑打开正常文件的简单代码..
#incldue<stdio.h>
int main() {
FILE fp;
char buffer[20];
fp = fopen(/home/yoggi/foo.txt, "r");
fread(buffer, 5, 1, fp);
}
在上述程序中，则fopen（）中，c-库函数，是一个包装功能的系统调用打开（），它实习生呼叫SYS_OPEN（）或FILE_OPEN（）在VFS层功能。 作为Linux支持数量的文件系统，虚拟文件系统，则控制转移到实际的文件系统处理程序，以该文件的开口。
1) How does virtual file system(VFS) get to know on which file system the
underline file resides?
2) How does it then calls the file_open or open function of that particular
filesystem to open file.
在设备驱动程序的情况下，类似的事情发生。 假设一个简单的设备驱动程序。
#include <linux/module.h>
// othher includes...
static dev_t first; // Global variable for the first device number
static struct cdev c_dev; // Global variable for the character device structure
static struct class *cl; // Global variable for the device class
static int my_open(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Driver: open()\n");
return 0;
}
static ssize_t my_read(struct file *f, char __user *buf, size_t len, loff_t *off)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Driver: read()\n");
return 0;
}
struct file_operations pugs_fops =
{
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.open = my_open,
.read = my_read,
};
static int __init ofcd_init(void) /* Constructor */
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Namaskar: ofcd registered");
if (alloc_chrdev_region(&first, 0, 1, "Shweta") < 0)
{
return -1;
}
if ((cl = class_create(THIS_MODULE, "chardrv")) == NULL)
{
unregister_chrdev_region(first, 1);
return -1;
}
if (device_create(cl, NULL, first, NULL, "mynull") == NULL)
{
class_destroy(cl);
unregister_chrdev_region(first, 1);
return -1;
}
cdev_init(&c_dev, &pugs_fops);
if (cdev_add(&c_dev, first, 1) == -1)
{
device_destroy(cl, first);
class_destroy(cl);
unregister_chrdev_region(first, 1);
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
static void __exit ofcd_exit(void) /* Destructor */
{
cdev_del(&c_dev);
device_destroy(cl, first);
class_destroy(cl);
unregister_chrdev_region(first, 1);
printk(KERN_INFO "Alvida: ofcd unregistered");
}
module_init(ofcd_init);
module_exit(ofcd_exit);

MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Our First Character Driver");
首先，我们分配的设备主要和次要号码。 注册设备文件的范围和链接的设备文件操作设备驱动程序的功能。
一些术语，我没有得到的是..
1) What does actually cdev_add() do? in terms of registering a device to the
kernel.
2) Registering a device to the kernel means?
3) How does a open(/dev/mynull, O_RONLY); called on a device file actually calls
the open function of driver which is mapped while initializing the device
by calling routine cdev_init(&c_dev, &pugs_fops); ?
