Linux Kernel(16.1)- Network Device Driver, simple snull.


這一篇藉由LDD(Linux Device Drivers)中的SNULL來了解最基本的Network Device Driver的架構,本章的sample code比原本的SNULL更為簡化,但是Network Topology是相同的,讓interface sn0/sn1可以透過遠方虛擬的remote0/remote1彼此溝通。

最基本的Network Device Driver的寫法就是allocate network device, "struct net_device"並且賦予hook function, "struct net_device_ops",然後將該network device註冊到kernel中,Kernel就可以調用該Network device,最基本的net_device_ops包含
  • ndo_open() and ndo_validate_addr() are called, when the NIC is bring up.
  • ndo_stop() is called, when the NIC is shut down.
  • ndo_start_xmit() is called, when a packet is sent from the NIC.
  • ndo_change_mtu() is called, when the MTU of the NIC is changed.
  • ndo_set_mac_address() is called, when the MAC address of the NIC is changed.
以下是demo code的net_device_ops部分
static const struct net_device_ops nic_netdev_ops = {
    /* Kernel calls ndo_open() and ndo_validate_addr()
     * when you bring up the NIC
     */
    .ndo_open               = nic_open,
    .ndo_validate_addr      = nic_validate_addr,

    /* when you shut down the NIC, kernel call the .ndo_stop() */
    .ndo_stop               = nic_close,

    /* Kernel calls ndo_start_xmit() when it wants to 
     *   transmit a packet. 
     */
    .ndo_start_xmit         = nic_start_xmit,

    /* ndo_change_mtu() is called, when you change MTU */
    .ndo_change_mtu         = nic_change_mtu,

    /* ndo_set_mac_address() is called,
     *   when you change the MAC addr
     */
    .ndo_set_mac_address    = nic_set_mac_addr,
};


我們是模擬ethernet,而ethernet有一些hook function可以用,如下
  • ndo_validate_addr() -> eth_validate_addr().
  • ndo_change_mtu() -> eth_change_mtu().
  • ndo_set_mac_address() -> eth_mac_addr().
在demo code中,ndo_validate_addr()/ndo_change_mtu()/ndo_set_mac_address()我都是將其轉成ethernet的default hook function,我沒直接掛,是因為我想印出訊息來看
static int nic_validate_addr(struct net_device *netdev)
{
    struct nic_priv *priv = netdev_priv(netdev);
    netif_info(priv, drv, netdev, "%s(#%d), priv:%p\n",
                __func__, __LINE__, priv);
    return eth_validate_addr(netdev);
}

static int nic_change_mtu(struct net_device *netdev, int new_mtu)
{
    struct nic_priv *priv = netdev_priv(netdev);
    netif_info(priv, drv, netdev, "%s(#%d), priv:%p\n",
                __func__, __LINE__, priv);
    return eth_change_mtu(netdev, new_mtu);
}

static int nic_set_mac_addr(struct net_device *netdev, void *addr)
{
    struct nic_priv *priv = netdev_priv(netdev);
    netif_info(priv, drv, netdev, "%s(#%d), priv:%p\n",
                __func__, __LINE__, priv);
    return eth_mac_addr(netdev, addr);
}

另外幾個比較重要的function是netif_start_queue()/netif_stop_queue()
  • netif_start_queue()是通知上層,可以將資料送到該網卡,通常放在ndo_open()裡面
  • netif_stop_queue()是通知上層,停止將資料送到該網卡,通常放在ndo_stop()裡面


由於我們沒有真的remote0/remote1可以回應,所以必須設定flag/IFF_NOARP在sn0跟sn1,並且自己要處理L2的header,所以必須在額外掛上"struct header_ops"。
