无法从 linux 个字符设备读取

Question

我正在为加速度计实现 SPI 驱动程序。 SPI 部分已完成，但我无法从用户空间读取值。

static char charDevMessage[CD_BUFFER_SIZE] = { 0 };
...
static ssize_t char_dev_read(struct file *filep, char *buffer, size_t len, loff_t *position)
{

    int error_count = 0;
    struct xyz_values xyz;
    size_t size_requested;

    xyz = adxl345_get_xyz();
    memset(charDevMessage, 0, CD_BUFFER_SIZE);
    sprintf(charDevMessage, "%d,%d,%d", xyz.x, xyz.y, xyz.z);
    printk(KERN_INFO "MOB: %s, requested size: %d\n", charDevMessage, len);

    if (len >= CD_BUFFER_SIZE)
    {
        size_requested = CD_BUFFER_SIZE;
    }
    else
    {
        size_requested = len;
    }

    error_count = copy_to_user(buffer, charDevMessage, size_requested);      

    if (error_count == 0)          
    {
        printk(KERN_INFO "MOB: Sent %d characters to the user\n", size_requested);
        return (size_requested = 0);      

    }
    else
    {
        printk(KERN_INFO "MOB: Failed to send %d characters to the user\n", error_count);
        return -EFAULT;              

    }
}

安装驱动时已经创建了节点。但是当我尝试 cat 或试图通过 python 读取时，它 returns 一个空字符串。

dmesg 表示已成功发送到用户空间：

[ 3094.495972] MOB: SPI Character device has been opened 1 time(s)
[ 3094.506075] MOB: -349,-512,511 , requested size:49
[ 3094.514487] MOB: Sent 256 characters to the user

我做错了什么？

Answer 1

你误解了.read函数的概念：

reader（用户 space）仅看到 .read 返回的值，并将其解释为 已读取的字节数.

至于最后一个参数到.read（position在你的情况下），它的解释完全取决于驱动作者。 position 指向的值在文件打开时由内核核心初始化为 0。在那之后，内核本身再也不会修改它。

如果你想总是从头开始阅读，你可以忽略position参数：

return size_requested;

或者，语义上更好，您可以递增值，由 position 指向，因此它将反映总读取的字节数。但否则请忽略它：

*position += size_requested;
return size_requested;
