V4L2 File handlers
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
struct v4l2_fh provides a way to easily keep file handle specific data
|
||||
that is used by the V4L2 framework. New drivers must use struct v4l2_fh
|
||||
since it is also used to implement priority handling (VIDIOC_G/S_PRIORITY).
|
||||
|
||||
The users of v4l2_fh (in the V4L2 framework, not the driver) know
|
||||
whether a driver uses v4l2_fh as its file->private_data pointer by
|
||||
testing the V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH bit in video_device->flags. This bit is
|
||||
set whenever v4l2_fh_init() is called.
|
||||
|
||||
struct v4l2_fh is allocated as a part of the driver's own file handle
|
||||
structure and file->private_data is set to it in the driver's open
|
||||
function by the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
In many cases the struct v4l2_fh will be embedded in a larger structure.
|
||||
In that case you should call v4l2_fh_init+v4l2_fh_add in open() and
|
||||
v4l2_fh_del+v4l2_fh_exit in release().
|
||||
|
||||
Drivers can extract their own file handle structure by using the container_of
|
||||
macro. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
struct my_fh {
|
||||
int blah;
|
||||
struct v4l2_fh fh;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
int my_open(struct file *file)
|
||||
{
|
||||
struct my_fh *my_fh;
|
||||
struct video_device *vfd;
|
||||
int ret;
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
my_fh = kzalloc(sizeof(*my_fh), GFP_KERNEL);
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
v4l2_fh_init(&my_fh->fh, vfd);
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
file->private_data = &my_fh->fh;
|
||||
v4l2_fh_add(&my_fh->fh);
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
int my_release(struct file *file)
|
||||
{
|
||||
struct v4l2_fh *fh = file->private_data;
|
||||
struct my_fh *my_fh = container_of(fh, struct my_fh, fh);
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
v4l2_fh_del(&my_fh->fh);
|
||||
v4l2_fh_exit(&my_fh->fh);
|
||||
kfree(my_fh);
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Below is a short description of the v4l2_fh functions used:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
void v4l2_fh_init(struct v4l2_fh *fh, struct video_device *vdev)
|
||||
|
||||
Initialise the file handle. This *MUST* be performed in the driver's
|
||||
v4l2_file_operations->open() handler.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
void v4l2_fh_add(struct v4l2_fh *fh)
|
||||
|
||||
Add a v4l2_fh to video_device file handle list. Must be called once the
|
||||
file handle is completely initialized.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
void v4l2_fh_del(struct v4l2_fh *fh)
|
||||
|
||||
Unassociate the file handle from video_device(). The file handle
|
||||
exit function may now be called.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
void v4l2_fh_exit(struct v4l2_fh *fh)
|
||||
|
||||
Uninitialise the file handle. After uninitialisation the v4l2_fh
|
||||
memory can be freed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If struct v4l2_fh is not embedded, then you can use these helper functions:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
int v4l2_fh_open(struct file *filp)
|
||||
|
||||
This allocates a struct v4l2_fh, initializes it and adds it to the struct
|
||||
video_device associated with the file struct.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
int v4l2_fh_release(struct file *filp)
|
||||
|
||||
This deletes it from the struct video_device associated with the file
|
||||
struct, uninitialised the v4l2_fh and frees it.
|
||||
|
||||
These two functions can be plugged into the v4l2_file_operation's open() and
|
||||
release() ops.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Several drivers need to do something when the first file handle is opened and
|
||||
when the last file handle closes. Two helper functions were added to check
|
||||
whether the v4l2_fh struct is the only open filehandle of the associated
|
||||
device node:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
int v4l2_fh_is_singular(struct v4l2_fh *fh)
|
||||
|
||||
Returns 1 if the file handle is the only open file handle, else 0.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
int v4l2_fh_is_singular_file(struct file *filp)
|
||||
|
||||
Same, but it calls v4l2_fh_is_singular with filp->private_data.
