接前一篇文章：

上回书重点解析了virtio_pci_modern_probe函数。再来回顾一下其中相关的数据结构：

• struct virtio_pci_device

struct virtio_pci_device的定义在Linux内核源码/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.h中，如下：

/* Our device structure */
struct virtio_pci_device {struct virtio_device vdev;struct pci_dev *pci_dev;union {struct virtio_pci_legacy_device ldev;struct virtio_pci_modern_device mdev;};bool is_legacy;/* Where to read and clear interrupt */u8 __iomem *isr;/* a list of queues so we can dispatch IRQs */spinlock_t lock;struct list_head virtqueues;/* array of all queues for house-keeping */struct virtio_pci_vq_info **vqs;/* MSI-X support */int msix_enabled;int intx_enabled;cpumask_var_t *msix_affinity_masks;/* Name strings for interrupts. This size should be enough,* and I'm too lazy to allocate each name separately. */char (*msix_names)[256];/* Number of available vectors */unsigned int msix_vectors;/* Vectors allocated, excluding per-vq vectors if any */unsigned int msix_used_vectors;/* Whether we have vector per vq */bool per_vq_vectors;struct virtqueue *(*setup_vq)(struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev,struct virtio_pci_vq_info *info,unsigned int idx,void (*callback)(struct virtqueue *vq),const char *name,bool ctx,u16 msix_vec);void (*del_vq)(struct virtio_pci_vq_info *info);u16 (*config_vector)(struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev, u16 vector);
};

virtio_pci_modern_probe执行完成后，相关数据结构如下图所示：

回到virtio_pci_probe函数。在Linux内核源码/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c中，代码如下：

static int virtio_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *pci_dev,const struct pci_device_id *id)
{struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev, *reg_dev = NULL;int rc;/* allocate our structure and fill it out */vp_dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct virtio_pci_device), GFP_KERNEL);if (!vp_dev)return -ENOMEM;pci_set_drvdata(pci_dev, vp_dev);vp_dev->vdev.dev.parent = &pci_dev->dev;vp_dev->vdev.dev.release = virtio_pci_release_dev;vp_dev->pci_dev = pci_dev;INIT_LIST_HEAD(&vp_dev->virtqueues);spin_lock_init(&vp_dev->lock);/* enable the device */rc = pci_enable_device(pci_dev);if (rc)goto err_enable_device;if (force_legacy) {rc = virtio_pci_legacy_probe(vp_dev);/* Also try modern mode if we can't map BAR0 (no IO space). */if (rc == -ENODEV || rc == -ENOMEM)rc = virtio_pci_modern_probe(vp_dev);if (rc)goto err_probe;} else {rc = virtio_pci_modern_probe(vp_dev);if (rc == -ENODEV)rc = virtio_pci_legacy_probe(vp_dev);if (rc)goto err_probe;}pci_set_master(pci_dev);rc = register_virtio_device(&vp_dev->vdev);reg_dev = vp_dev;if (rc)goto err_register;return 0;err_register:if (vp_dev->is_legacy)virtio_pci_legacy_remove(vp_dev);elsevirtio_pci_modern_remove(vp_dev);
err_probe:pci_disable_device(pci_dev);
err_enable_device:if (reg_dev)put_device(&vp_dev->vdev.dev);elsekfree(vp_dev);return rc;
}

接QEMU源码全解析 —— virtio（18）中的内容，前文书讲到了virtio_pci_probe函数的第5步，

“（5）调用virtio_pci_legacy_probe或者virtio_pci_modern_probe函数来初始化该PCI设备对应的virtio设备。”，继续往下进行。

（6）virtio_pci_probe函数在调用virtio_pci_modern_probe函数之后，接下来会调用register_virtio_device。代码片段如下：

	rc = register_virtio_device(&vp_dev->vdev);reg_dev = vp_dev;if (rc)goto err_register;

register_virtio_device函数在Linux内核源码/drivers/virtio/virtio.c中，代码如下：

/*** register_virtio_device - register virtio device* @dev        : virtio device to be registered** On error, the caller must call put_device on &@dev->dev (and not kfree),* as another code path may have obtained a reference to @dev.** Returns: 0 on suceess, -error on failure*/
int register_virtio_device(struct virtio_device *dev)
{int err;dev->dev.bus = &virtio_bus;device_initialize(&dev->dev);/* Assign a unique device index and hence name. */err = ida_alloc(&virtio_index_ida, GFP_KERNEL);if (err < 0)goto out;dev->index = err;err = dev_set_name(&dev->dev, "virtio%u", dev->index);if (err)goto out_ida_remove;err = virtio_device_of_init(dev);if (err)goto out_ida_remove;spin_lock_init(&dev->config_lock);dev->config_enabled = false;dev->config_change_pending = false;INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dev->vqs);spin_lock_init(&dev->vqs_list_lock);/* We always start by resetting the device, in case a previous* driver messed it up.  This also tests that code path a little. */virtio_reset_device(dev);/* Acknowledge that we've seen the device. */virtio_add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_ACKNOWLEDGE);/** device_add() causes the bus infrastructure to look for a matching* driver.*/err = device_add(&dev->dev);if (err)goto out_of_node_put;return 0;out_of_node_put:of_node_put(dev->dev.of_node);
out_ida_remove:ida_free(&virtio_index_ida, dev->index);
out:virtio_add_status(dev, VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_FAILED);return err;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(register_virtio_device);

前文已提到，vp_dev->vdev的类型为struct virtio_device，而传给register_virtio_device函数的实参为vp_dev->vdev的地址，即&vp_dev->vdev。从函数名以及参数类型就能看出，register_virtio_device函数的作用是将一个virtio device注册到系统中。具体步骤如下：

（1）设置virtio设备的Bus为virtio_bus。代码片段如下：

    dev->dev.bus = &virtio_bus;

virtio_bus在系统初始化的时候会注册到系统中。

virtio_bus在Linux内核源码/drivers/virtio/virtio.c中初始化，代码如下：

static struct bus_type virtio_bus = {.name  = "virtio",.match = virtio_dev_match,.dev_groups = virtio_dev_groups,.uevent = virtio_uevent,.probe = virtio_dev_probe,.remove = virtio_dev_remove,
};int register_virtio_driver(struct virtio_driver *driver)
{/* Catch this early. */BUG_ON(driver->feature_table_size && !driver->feature_table);driver->driver.bus = &virtio_bus;return driver_register(&driver->driver);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(register_virtio_driver);

在系统初始化的时候，通过register_virtio_driver函数注册到系统中。

（2）设置virtio设备的名字为类似"virtio0"、"virtio1"的字符串。代码片段如下：

    /* Assign a unique device index and hence name. */err = ida_alloc(&virtio_index_ida, GFP_KERNEL);if (err < 0)goto out;dev->index = err;err = dev_set_name(&dev->dev, "virtio%u", dev->index);if (err)goto out_ida_remove;

dev_set_name函数在Linux内核源码/drivers/base/core.c中，代码如下：

/*** dev_set_name - set a device name* @dev: device* @fmt: format string for the device's name*/
int dev_set_name(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...)
{va_list vargs;int err;va_start(vargs, fmt);err = kobject_set_name_vargs(&dev->kobj, fmt, vargs);va_end(vargs);return err;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dev_set_name);

（3）然后调用virtio_reset_device函数重置设备。代码片段如下：

    /* We always start by resetting the device, in case a previous* driver messed it up.  This also tests that code path a little. */virtio_reset_device(dev);

（4）最后，调用device_add函数，将设备注册到系统中。代码片段如下：

    /** device_add() causes the bus infrastructure to look for a matching* driver.*/err = device_add(&dev->dev);if (err)goto out_of_node_put;

这里，老版本代码中是调用的是device_register函数。device_register函数跟设备驱动相关性较大，在此简单介绍一下其作用。

device_register函数在Linux内核源码/drivers/base/core.c中，代码如下：

/*** device_register - register a device with the system.* @dev: pointer to the device structure** This happens in two clean steps - initialize the device* and add it to the system. The two steps can be called* separately, but this is the easiest and most common.* I.e. you should only call the two helpers separately if* have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device* before it is added to the hierarchy.** For more information, see the kerneldoc for device_initialize()* and device_add().** NOTE: _Never_ directly free @dev after calling this function, even* if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the* reference initialized in this function instead.*/
int device_register(struct device *dev)
{device_initialize(dev);return device_add(dev);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(device_register);

device_register函数向系统注册一个设备。其分为两个简单的步骤——初始化设备（device_initialize(dev)）并将其添加到系统中（device_add(dev)）。这两个步骤可以分别调用，但放在一起即使用device_register函数是最简单和最常见的。例如，如果有明确的需求在其添加到层级之前使用和重新计数设备，那么应该分别独立地调用这两个助手（函数）。

从此处的代码就可以知道，老版本的内核代码中确实是直接调用了device_register函数，而新版本内核代码在此处则是在register_virtio_device函数的前边先调用了device_initialize(&dev->dev)，而后在这里调用了device_add(&dev->dev)。即采用了分开调用的方式。

device_register函数会调用device_add函数，将设备加到系统中，并且会发送一个uevent消息到用户空间，这个uevent消息中包含了virtio设备的vendor id、device id。 udev接收到此消息之后，会加载virtio设备对应的驱动。然后，device_add函数会调用bus_probe_device函数，最终调用到Bus的probe函数和设备的probe函数，也就是virtio_dev_probe函数和virtballoon_probe函数。

device_add函数也在Linux内核源码/drivers/base/core.c中，就在device_register函数上边，代码如下：

/*** device_add - add device to device hierarchy.* @dev: device.** This is part 2 of device_register(), though may be called* separately _iff_ device_initialize() has been called separately.** This adds @dev to the kobject hierarchy via kobject_add(), adds it* to the global and sibling lists for the device, then* adds it to the other relevant subsystems of the driver model.** Do not call this routine or device_register() more than once for* any device structure.  The driver model core is not designed to work* with devices that get unregistered and then spring back to life.* (Among other things, it's very hard to guarantee that all references* to the previous incarnation of @dev have been dropped.)  Allocate* and register a fresh new struct device instead.** NOTE: _Never_ directly free @dev after calling this function, even* if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up your* reference instead.** Rule of thumb is: if device_add() succeeds, you should call* device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has* *not* succeeded, use *only* put_device() to drop the reference* count.*/
int device_add(struct device *dev)

其中的代码片段：

和

    bus_probe_device(dev);

就是上边所讲到的：

device_register函数会调用device_add函数，将设备加到系统中，并且会发送一个uevent消息到用户空间，这个uevent消息中包含了virtio设备的vendor id、device id。 udev接收到此消息之后，会加载virtio设备对应的驱动。

然后，device_add函数会调用bus_probe_device函数，最终调用到Bus的probe函数和设备的probe函数，也就是virtio_dev_probe函数和virtballoon_probe函数。
