1. Introduction
---------------
Libsysfs' purpose is to provide a consistent and stable interface for
querying system device information exposed through the sysfs filesystem.
The library implements functions for querying filesystem information,
such as reading directories and files. It also contains routines for
working with buses, classes, and the device tree.
2. Requirements
---------------
The library must satisfy the following requirements:
- It must provide a stable programming interfaces that applications can
be built upon.
- It must provide functions to retrieve device Vital Product Data (VPD)
information for Error Log Analysis (ELA) support. ELA will provide
device driver and device bus address information.
- It must provide access to all system devices and information exposed
by sysfs.
- It must provide a function to find sysfs' current mount point.
- It must provide a function for udev to retrieve a device's major and
minor numbers.
3. Definitions
--------------
- sysfs: Sysfs is a virtual filesystem in 2.5+ Linux kernels that
presents a hierarchical representation of all system physical and
virtual devices. It presents system devices by bus, by class, and
by topology. Callbacks to device drivers are exposed as files in
device directories. Sysfs, for all purposes, is our tree of system
devices. For more information, please see:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mochel/doc/
- udev: Udev is Greg Kroah-Hartman's User Space implementation of devfs.
Udev creates /dev nodes for devices upon Hotplug events. The Hotplug
event provides udev with a sysfs directory location of the device. Udev
must use that directory to grab device's major and minor number, which it
will use to create the /dev node. For more information, please see:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/
4. Overview
-----------
Libsysfs grew from a common need. There are several applications under
development that need access to sysfs and system devices. Udev, on a
hotplug event, must take a sysfs device path and create a /dev node. Our
diagnostic client needs to list all system devices. Finally, our Error
Log Analysis piece is required to retrieve VPD information for a
failing device. We divided to create a single library interface rather
than having these separate applications create their own accesses to
sysfs involving reading directories and files.
Libsysfs will also provide stability for applications to be built upon. Sysfs
currently doesn't enforce any standards for callback or file names. File
names change depending on bus or class. Sysfs is also changing, it is
currently being developed. Libsysfs will provide a stable interface to
applications while allowing sysfs to change underneath it.
Like sysfs, the library will provide devices to applications by bus, by
class, and by topology. The library will function similar to directories
and files that lie underneath it. To query a device on a PCI bus, one would
"open" the bus to scan or read devices and "close" the bus when
completed. Besides supplying functions to retrieve devices, the library
will also provide some utility functions like getting sysfs mount point.
5. Data Structures
------------------
Libsysfs will classify system devices following sysfs' example, dividing
them by bus, class, and devices. The library presents this information
generically. It doesn't, for example, differentiate between PCI and USB
buses. Device attributes are presented with values as they are exposed
by sysfs, the values are not formatted.
The library will provide standard definitions for working with sysfs
and devices, here's some examples:
#define SYSFS_FSTYPE_NAME "sysfs"
#define SYSFS_PROC_MNTS "/proc/mounts"
#define SYSFS_BUS_DIR "/bus"
#define SYSFS_BUS_NAME "bus"
#define SYSFS_CLASS_DIR "/class"
#define SYSFS_CLASS_NAME "class"
#define SYSFS_BLOCK_DIR "/block"
#define SYSFS_BLOCK_NAME "block"
#define SYSFS_DEVICES_DIR "/devices"
#define SYSFS_DEVICES_NAME "devices"
#define SYSFS_DRIVERS_DIR "/drivers"
#define SYSFS_DRIVERS_NAME "drivers"
#define SYSFS_NAME_ATTRIBUTE "name"
The library uses some definitions to mark maximum size of a sysfs name or
path length:
#define SYSFS_PATH_MAX 255
#define SYSFS_NAME_LEN 50
#define SYSFS_BUS_ID_SIZE 20
NOTE:
As of release 0.4.0 of libsysfs, a number of changes have been made
so that the dlists and "directory" references in all libsysfs's
structures are not populated until such time that it is absolutely
necessary. Hence, these elements may not contain valid data at all
times (as was the case before).
5.1 Directory and Attribute Data Structures
-------------------------------------------
The library implements structures to represent sysfs directories, links,
and files.
5.1.1 Attribute Structure
-------------------------
A file in sysfs represents a device or driver attribute. Attributes can be
read only, write only, or read and write. File data can be ASCII and
binary. The library has the following structure to represent files:
struct sysfs_attribute {
unsigned char *value;
unsigned short len; /* value length */
unsigned short method; /* show and store */
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
};
Path represents the file/attribute's full path. Value is used when reading
from or writing to an attribute. "len" is the length of data in "value".
Method is a bitmask for defining if the attribute supports show(read)
and/or store(write).
5.1.2 Link Structure
--------------------
Symbolic links are used in sysfs to link bus or class views with
particular devices.
struct sysfs_link {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
unsigned char target[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
};
Link's name is stored in "name' and it's target stored in "target". Absolute
path to the link is stored in "path".
5.1.3 Directory Structure
-------------------------
The directory structure represents a sysfs directory:
struct sysfs_directory {
struct dlist *subdirs;
struct dlist *links;
struct dlist *attributes;
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
};
The sysfs_directory structure includes the list of subdirectories, links and
attributes. The "name" and absolute "path" are also stored in the structure.
The sysfs_directory structure is intended for use internal to the library.
Applications needing access to attributes and links from the directory
will need to make appropriate calls (described below) to get the same.
5.2 Bus Data Structure
----------------------
All buses look similar in sysfs including lists of devices and drivers,
therefore we use the following structure to represent all sysfs buses:
struct sysfs_bus {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
/* internal use only */
struct dlist *drivers;
struct dlist *devices;
struct sysfs_directory *directory;
};
The sysfs_bus structure contains the bus "name", while the "path" to bus
directory is also stored. It also contains lists of devices on the bus
and drivers that are registered on it. The bus' directory is represented
by the sysfs_directory structure and it contains references to all the
subdirectories, links, and attributes. The sysfs_directory structure
is for internal use only. The following functions may be used by
applications to retrieve data from the sysfs_directory structure:
struct dlist *sysfs_get_bus_attributes(struct sysfs_bus *bus)
struct sysfs_attribute *sysfs_get_bus_attribute(struct sysfs_bus *bus,
unsigned char *attrname)
5.3 Class Data Structures
-------------------------
The library uses two data structures to represent classes in sysfs. Sysfs
classes contains a class directory like "net" or "scsi_host" and then
class devices like "eth0", "lo", or "eth1" for the "net" class.
struct sysfs_class {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
/* for internal use only */
struct dlist *devices;
struct sysfs_directory *directory;
};
The sysfs_class represents device classes in sysfs like "net". It contains
the class "name", "path" to the class, a list of class devices and the
directory representation (for internal use only).
struct sysfs_class_device {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char classname[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
/* for internal use only */
struct sysfs_class_device *parent;
struct sysfs_device *sysdevice; /* NULL if virtual */
struct sysfs_driver *driver; /* NULL if not implemented */
struct sysfs_directory *directory;
};
A class device isn't the same as a sysfs_device, it's specific to the class in
which it belongs. The class device structure contains the name of the class
the class device belongs to, its sysfs_device reference and that device's
driver reference (if any). It also contains the name of the class device
- like "eth0", its parent point (if present) and its sysfs directory
information including links and attributes (for internal use only).
The following function may be used by applications to retrieve data
from the sysfs_directory structure:
struct dlist *sysfs_get_classdev_attributes(struct sysfs_class_device *cdev);
5.4 Root Device Data Structure
------------------------------
Device hierarchies in sysfs are represented under the /sys/devices directory
structure. Sysfs devices typically spawn off from base devices which are
represented by a sysfs_root_device.
struct sysfs_root_device {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
/* for internal use only */
struct dlist *devices;
struct sysfs_directory *directory;
};
The sysfs_root_device structure contains a list of "devices" that spawn off it.
The name of the root device as represented under /sys/devices is read into
"name" and the absolute path into "path" and its sysfs_directory information
intended to be used internal to the library.
5.5 Device Data Structure
-------------------------
The sysfs_device structure represents a system device that's exposed
in sysfs under the /sys/devices directory structure.
struct sysfs_device {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char bus_id[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char bus[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char driver_name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
/* for internal use only */
struct sysfs_device *parent;
struct dlist *children;
struct sysfs_directory *directory;
};
The sysfs_device structure contains a "parent" pointer, a list of child
devices, if any, device's directory, its bus id - which is the name of
device's directory, the bus name on which this device is registered and
its driver name. The device structure also contains the absolute path
to the device and a directory structure, which contains a list of the
device's attributes (for internal use only). The following functions
may be used to obtain information from sysfs_directory structure:
struct sysfs_attribute *sysfs_get_device_attribute(struct sysfs_device *dev,
const unsigned char *name)
struct dlist *sysfs_get_device_attributes(struct sysfs_device *device)
5.6 Driver Data Structure
-------------------------
The sysfs_driver structure represents a device driver.
struct sysfs_driver {
unsigned char name[SYSFS_NAME_LEN];
unsigned char path[SYSFS_PATH_MAX];
/* for internal use only */
struct dlist *devices;
struct sysfs_directory *directory;
};
The sysfs_driver structure contains a list of devices that use this driver,
the name of the driver, its path, and its directory information, which
includes the driver's attributes (for internal use only). The following
function may be used to retrieve driver attribute information from the
sysfs_directory structure:
struct dlist *sysfs_get_driver_attributes(struct sysfs_driver *driver)
6. Functions
------------
Libsysfs will provide functions to access system devices by bus, by class,
and by device. Functions will act like accessing directories and files,
using "open" and "close". Open returns a structure and close is used
to clean that structure up.

Sysfs contains many symbolic links, like bus links to bus devices. Libsysfs
treats links differently than directories due to processing differences. A
link in the /sys/bus/"busname"/devices/ directory indicates a device in the
/sys/devices directory. Through links we give the functionality to know

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.2.3 Directory Functions
-------------------------
Sysfs directories can represent every directory under sysfs. The structures
keep track of subdirectories, links, and files. Like opendir, readdir, and
closedir, libsysfs provides open, read, and close functions for working with
sysfs directories. Open creates the sysfs_directory structure. Read reads in
its contents - like subdirectories, links, and files. Close cleans it all
up.

6.3 Bus Functions
-----------------
The library provides a functions for viewing buses represented in sysfs.
The sysfs_open_bus opens a bus in the /sys/bus directory, such as "pci",
"usb", or "scsi". The open command returns a sysfs_bus structure that
contains a list of the bus' devices. The sysfs_close_bus function is
used to clean up the bus structure. Given a device or a driver,
functions are provided to determine what bus they are on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Navigating a dlist
---------------------
Libsysfs uses (yet another) list implementation thanks to Eric J Bohm.
Some library functions return a dlist of devices/drivers/attributes, etc.
To navigate the list returned the macro "dlist_for_each_data" is to be used.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function/Macro name: dlist_for_each_data
Description: Walk the given list, returning a known data type/
structure in each iteration.
Arguments: struct dlist *list List pointer
data_iterator Data type/structure variable
contained in the list
datatype Data type/structure contained
in the list
Returns: On each iteration, "data_iterator" will contain a list
element of "datatype"
Usage example: The function sysfs_get_classdev_attributes() returns a
dlist of attributes. To navigate the list:
struct sysfs_attribute *attr = NULL;
struct dlist *attrlist = NULL;
.
.
.
attrlist = sysfs_get_classdev_attributes
(struct sysfs_class_device *cdev)
if (attrlist != NULL) {
dlist_for_each_data(attrlist, attr,
struct sysfs_attribute) {
.
.
.
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Usage
--------
Accessing devices through libsysfs is supposed to mirror accessing devices
in the filesystem it represents. Here's a typical order of operation:
- get sysfs mount point
- "open" sysfs category, ie. bus, class, or device
- work with category
- "close" sysfs category
9. Conclusion
-------------
Libsysfs is meant to provide a stable application programming interface to
sysfs. Applications can depend upon the library to access system devices
and functions exposed through sysfs.
