Linux中ioctl()函数命令字生成

在应用层调用ioctl()函数的时候，该函数第二个参数是cmd，如下调用：

ret = ioctl(ppp_dev_fd, PPPIOCGIDLE, ip) ;

看下cmd的格式：

/* get idle time */#define PPPIOCGIDLE_IOR('t', 63, struct ppp_idle) 

然后就有的研究了。

通过ioctl()函数的cmd，下发需要底层响应的命令。cmd命令的大小32位，分成4个部分：

bit31~bit30：“区别读写” 区，作用是区分是读取命令还是写入命令；

bit29~bit16：“数据大小” 区，表示 ioctl() 中的 arg 变量传送的内存大小。

bit15~bit8  ：“魔数”(也称为"幻数")区，这个值用以与其它设备驱动程序的 ioctl 命令进行区别。

bit7~bit0    ：“区别序号”区，是区分命令的命令顺序序号。

比如，对于以上的PPPIOCGIDLE命令，

#define _IOR(type,nr,size)_IOC(_IOC_READ,(type),(nr),(_IOC_TYPECHECK(size)))

_IOC_READ：这是读取命令，定义如下：

/* * Direction bits. */#define _IOC_NONE0U#define _IOC_WRITE1U#define _IOC_READ2U

_IOC_TYPECHECK：/* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */

/* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */#define _IOC_SIZEBITS14extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC;#define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) && \  sizeof(t) < (1 << _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? \  sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC)

_IOC_SIZEBITS之所以被定义为14，因为size字段占了32位中的14位（bit29~bit16）

所以，PPPIOCGIDLE命令等价于：

#define PPPIOCGIDLE <--->(2 << 30) | ('t' << 8) | (63 << 0) | (size << 16)

参考Linux内核文件：include/asm-generic/ioctl.h

#ifndef _ASM_GENERIC_IOCTL_H#define _ASM_GENERIC_IOCTL_H/* ioctl command encoding: 32 bits total, command in lower 16 bits, * size of the parameter structure in the lower 14 bits of the * upper 16 bits. * Encoding the size of the parameter structure in the ioctl request * is useful for catching programs compiled with old versions * and to avoid overwriting user space outside the user buffer area. * The highest 2 bits are reserved for indicating the ``access mode''. * NOTE: This limits the max parameter size to 16kB -1 ! *//* * The following is for compatibility across the various Linux * platforms.
