上面分析了用户空间从tty读数据的过程，读数据时从tty->read_buf那么tty->read_buf中的数据从而而来呢？这就是我们今天要讨论的问题。tty_struct结构中有个 struct tty_bufhead buf 成员，比如当tty串口中有数据过来时就会产生中断，tty就利用tty.buf中的成员保存中断到来的数据，在合适的机会再用tty_flip_buffer_push类函数把tty->buf中的数据保存到tty->read_buf中去，从而就达到数据来源的效果。具体源码如下：

 

先看看下面两个数据结构 struct tty_buffer是接收中断数据的一个缓存结构，

struct tty_buffer {
 struct tty_buffer *next;
 char *char_buf_ptr;                //数据缓存
 unsigned char *flag_buf_ptr;  //数据标志缓存
 int used;                                 //已用数据大小
 int size;                                  //缓存空间的大小
 int commit;                              //已提交数据大小
 int read;                                  //已读走数据大小
 /* Data points here */
 unsigned long data[0];
};

 

struct tty_bufhead {                    //tty_struct结构中临时缓存区的管理结构
 struct delayed_work work;          //工作队列中的一个工作项
 spinlock_t lock;
 struct tty_buffer *head; /* Queue head */
 struct tty_buffer *tail; /* Active buffer */
 struct tty_buffer *free; /* Free queue head */
 int memory_used;  /* Buffer space used excluding
        free queue */
};

在中断程序中我们一般通过int tty_insert_flip_char 把接收到的数据放入tty_struct 的临时缓存中，tty->buf.head指向临时缓存链表的表头，tty->buf.tail指向待操作的临时缓存;

static inline int tty_insert_flip_char(struct tty_struct *tty,
     unsigned char ch, char flag)
{
 struct tty_buffer *tb = tty->buf.tail;  
 if (tb && tb->used < tb->size) {         //操作缓存存在并有空间
  tb->flag_buf_ptr[tb->used] = flag;   //数据的标志位
  tb->char_buf_ptr[tb->used++] = ch; //接收的数据
  return 1;
 }
 return tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, &ch, &flag, 1); //操作缓存不存在或者空间不够时的操作
}

 

//tty_insert_flip_string_flags 在空间不足的情况下申请临时空间并把接收的数据及标志保存到临时缓存，并返回保存数据大小
/**

 * Queue a series of bytes to the tty buffering. For each character
 * the flags array indicates the status of the character. Returns the

 *

 */

int tty_insert_flip_string_flags(struct tty_struct *tty,
  const unsigned char *chars, const char *flags, size_t size)
{
 int copied = 0;
 do {
  int space = tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size - copied);//申请临时缓存空间
  struct tty_buffer *tb = tty->buf.tail;
  /* If there is no space then tb may be NULL */
  if (unlikely(space == 0))
   break;
  memcpy(tb->char_buf_ptr + tb->used, chars, space);
  memcpy(tb->flag_buf_ptr + tb->used, flags, space);
  tb->used += space;
  copied += space;
  chars += space;
  flags += space;
  /* There is a small chance that we need to split the data over
     several buffers. If this is the case we must loop */
 } while (unlikely(size > copied));
 return copied;
}

 

当接收到的外界数据保存到临时缓存后通过tty_flip_buffer_push把临时缓存中的数据发送到tty->read_buf中供用户空间读取

/**
