[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: David Binder <david.binder@xxxxxxxxxx>

Adds kerneldoc-style comments for those functions which may be used outside
of the visorbus driver.

+ * visorbus_register_visor_driver() - registers the provided driver
+ * @struct visor_driver *: the driver to register
+ *
+ * A particular type of visor driver calls this function to register
+ * the driver.  The caller MUST fill in the following fields within the
+ * #drv structure:
+ *     name, version, owner, channel_types, probe, remove
+ *
+ * Here's how the whole Linux bus / driver / device model works.
+ *
+ * At system start-up, the visorbus kernel module is loaded, which registers
+ * visorbus_type as a bus type, using bus_register().
+ *
+ * All kernel modules that support particular device types on a
+ * visorbus bus are loaded.  Each of these kernel modules calls
+ * visorbus_register_visor_driver() in their init functions, passing a
+ * visor_driver struct.  visorbus_register_visor_driver() in turn calls
+ * register_driver(&visor_driver.driver).  This .driver member is
+ * initialized with generic methods (like probe), whose sole responsibility
+ * is to act as a broker for the real methods, which are within the
+ * visor_driver struct.  (This is the way the subclass behavior is
+ * implemented, since visor_driver is essentially a subclass of the
+ * generic driver.)  Whenever a driver_register() happens, core bus code in
+ * the kernel does (see device_attach() in drivers/base/dd.c):
+ *
+ *     for each dev associated with the bus (the bus that driver is on) that
+ *     does not yet have a driver
+ *         if bus.match(dev,newdriver) == yes_matched  ** .match specified
+ *                                                ** during bus_register().
+ *             newdriver.probe(dev)  ** for visor drivers, this will call
+ *                   ** the generic driver.probe implemented in visorbus.c,
+ *                   ** which in turn calls the probe specified within the
+ *                   ** struct visor_driver (which was specified by the
+ *                   ** actual device driver as part of
+ *                   ** visorbus_register_visor_driver()).
+ *
+ * The above dance also happens when a new device appears.
+ * So the question is, how are devices created within the system?
+ * Basically, just call device_add(dev).  See pci_bus_add_devices().
+ * pci_scan_device() shows an example of how to build a device struct.  It
+ * returns the newly-created struct to pci_scan_single_device(), who adds it
+ * to the list of devices at PCIBUS.devices.  That list of devices is what
+ * is traversed by pci_bus_add_devices().
+ *
+ * Return: integer indicating success (zero) or failure (non-zero)
