DRM Internals
Driver Initialization
driver 首先需要静态初始化一个struct drm_driver
结构体, 然后调用drm_dev_alloc()
,
创建一个struct drm_device
结构体, 最后调用drm_dev_register()
注册 drm_device.
Driver Information
在struct drm_driver
结构体中的.major, .minor, .patchlevel, .name, .desc .date 字段用于描述 driver 的基本信息.
通过DRM_IOCTL_VERSION
和DRM_IOCTL_SET_VERSION
两个 ioctl 可以获取和设置 driver 基本信息.
struct drm_device {
int if_version; // drm api 版本
struct kref ref; // 引用计数
struct device *dev; // 对应的bus上的device
struct {
/** @managed.resources: managed resources list */
struct list_head resources;
/** @managed.final_kfree: pointer for final kfree() call */
void *final_kfree;
/** @managed.lock: protects @managed.resources */
spinlock_t lock;
} managed;
const struct drm_driver *driver; // 对应的drm_driver
void *dev_private; // 已废弃, 设置为NULL
struct drm_minor *primary;
struct drm_minor *render;
struct drm_minor *accel;
bool registered; // 表示是否注册
struct drm_master *master; // drm_device的master
