什么是超级块,在linux内核中如何实现的

Answer 1

超级块是存储对应文件系统元数据的结构，存储的元数据包括包括文件系统大小，块大小，以及空闲及已使用的块的数量inode表的大学及位置等消息下面是对应的内核源码
struct super_block {
struct list_head s_list; /* Keep this first */
dev_t s_dev; /* search index; _not_ kdev_t */
unsigned char s_dirt;
unsigned char s_blocksize_bits;
unsigned long s_blocksize;
loff_t s_maxbytes; /* Max file size */
struct file_system_type *s_type;
const struct super_operations *s_op;
const struct dquot_operations *dq_op;
const struct quotactl_ops *s_qcop;
const struct export_operations *s_export_op;
unsigned long s_flags;
unsigned long s_magic;
struct dentry *s_root;
struct rw_semaphore s_umount;
struct mutex s_lock;
int s_count;
atomic_t s_active;
#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY
void *s_security;
#endif
const struct xattr_handler **s_xattr;

struct list_head s_inodes; /* all inodes */
struct hlist_head s_anon; /* anonymous dentries for (nfs) exporting */
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
struct list_head __percpu *s_files;
#else
struct list_head s_files;
#endif
/* s_dentry_lru and s_nr_dentry_unused are protected by dcache_lock */
struct list_head s_dentry_lru; /* unused dentry lru */
int s_nr_dentry_unused; /* # of dentry on lru */

struct block_device *s_bdev;
struct backing_dev_info *s_bdi;
struct mtd_info *s_mtd;
struct list_head s_instances;
struct quota_info s_dquot; /* Diskquota specific options */

int s_frozen;
wait_queue_head_t s_wait_unfrozen;

char s_id[32]; /* Informational name */

void *s_fs_info; /* Filesystem private info */
fmode_t s_mode;

/* Granularity of c/m/atime in ns.
Cannot be worse than a second */
u32 s_time_gran;

/*
* The next field is for VFS *only*. No filesystems have any business
* even looking at it. You had been warned.
*/
struct mutex s_vfs_rename_mutex; /* Kludge */

/*
* Filesystem subtype. If non-empty the filesystem type field
* in /proc/mounts will be "type.subtype"
*/
char *s_subtype;

/*
* Saved mount options for lazy filesystems using
* generic_show_options()
*/
char *s_options;
};
