下面贴一段代码是关于发送消息的msgsnd是实现：
关于代码的帖子： http://topic.csdn.net/u/20090415/18/a8751048-19c4-4da3-b41d-46897cc5f2c7.html
// 先看msgsnd()函数，它通过系统调用接口界面，进入内核执行，代码如下：
SYSCALL_DEFINE4(msgsnd, int, msqid, struct msgbuf __user *, msgp, size_t, msgsz,
int, msgflg)
{
long mtype;
if (get_user(mtype, &msgp->mtype))
return -EFAULT;
return do_msgsnd(msqid, mtype, msgp->mtext, msgsz, msgflg);
}
// 接下来看do_msgsnd()部分的代码，如下：
long do_msgsnd(int msqid, long mtype, void __user *mtext,
size_t msgsz, int msgflg)
{
struct msg_queue *msq;
struct msg_msg *msg;
int err;
struct ipc_namespace *ns;
ns = current->nsproxy->ipc_ns;
if (msgsz > ns->msg_ctlmax || (long) msgsz 0 || msqid 0)
return -EINVAL;
if (mtype 1)
return -EINVAL;
msg = load_msg(mtext, msgsz);
if (IS_ERR(msg))
return PTR_ERR(msg);
msg->m_type = mtype;
msg->m_ts = msgsz;
msq = msg_lock_check(ns, msqid);
if (IS_ERR(msq)) {
err = PTR_ERR(msq);
goto out_free;
}
for (;;) {
struct msg_sender s;
err = -EACCES;
if (ipcperms(&msq->q_perm, S_IWUGO))
goto out_unlock_free;
err = security_msg_queue_msgsnd(msq, msg, msgflg);
if (err)
goto out_unlock_free;
if (msgsz + msq->q_cbytes = msq->q_qbytes &&
1 + msq->q_qnum = msq->q_qbytes) {
break;
}
/* queue full, wait: */
if (msgflg & IPC_NOWAIT) {
err = -EAGAIN;
goto out_unlock_free;
}
ss_add(msq, &s);
ipc_rcu_getref(msq);
msg_unlock(msq);
schedule();
ipc_lock_by_ptr(&msq->q_perm);
ipc_rcu_putref(msq);
if (msq->q_perm.deleted) {
err = -EIDRM;
goto out_unlock_free;
}
ss_del(&s);
if (signal_pending(current)) {
err = -ERESTARTNOHAND;
goto out_unlock_free;
}
}
msq->q_lspid = task_tgid_vnr(current);
msq->q_stime = get_seconds();
if (!pipelined_send(msq, msg)) {
/* noone is waiting for this message, enqueue it */
list_add_tail(&msg->m_list, &msq->q_messages);
msq->q_cbytes += msgsz;
msq->q_qnum++;
atomic_add(msgsz, &ns->msg_bytes);
atomic_inc(&ns->msg_hdrs);
}
err = 0;
msg = NULL;
out_unlock_free:
msg_unlock(msq);
out_free:
if (msg != NULL)
free_msg(msg);
return err;
}
// 在这段代码中，请注意临近入口位置的这个函数msg_lock_check()，我们跟进，看一下这个lock是如何check
// 的，代码如下：
static inline struct msg_queue *msg_lock_check(struct ipc_namespace *ns,
int id)
{
struct kern_ipc_perm *ipcp = ipc_lock_check(&msg_ids(ns), id);
if (IS_ERR(ipcp))
return (struct msg_queue *)ipcp;
return container_of(ipcp, struct msg_queue, q_perm);
}
// ipc_lock_check()是一个能够check所有IPC object同步信息的函数，它的定义如下：
struct kern_ipc_perm *ipc_lock_check(struct ipc_ids *ids, int id)
{
struct kern_ipc_perm *out;
out = ipc_lock(ids, id);
if (IS_ERR(out))
return out;
if (ipc_checkid(out, id)) {
ipc_unlock(out);
return ERR_PTR(-EIDRM);
}
return out;
}
// 这里的ipc_lock()是至关重要的地方！通过这个函数的注释，也能明白它的作用了：
/**
* ipc_lock - Lock an ipc structure without rw_mutex held
* @ids: IPC identifier set
* @id: ipc id to look for
*
* Look for an id in the ipc ids idr and lock the associated ipc object.
*
* The ipc object is locked on exit.
*/
struct kern_ipc_perm *ipc_lock(struct ipc_ids *ids, int id)
{
struct kern_ipc_perm *out;
int lid = ipcid_to_idx(id);
rcu_read_lock();
out = idr_find(&ids->ipcs_idr, lid);
if (out == NULL) {
rcu_read_unlock();
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}
spin_lock(&out->lock);
/* ipc_rmid() may have already freed the ID while ipc_lock
* was spinning: here verify that the structure is still valid
*/
if (out->deleted) {
spin_unlock(&out->lock);
rcu_read_unlock();
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}
return out;
}
对于msgrcv同理可得，都是在内核层已经加锁了。。。。。。。
