Hi group,
I'm looking at the following code and come up with some questions....
In this function,
static void iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space(struct sock *sk)
{
struct iscsi_conn *conn = (struct iscsi_conn*)sk->sk_user_data;
struct iscsi_tcp_conn *tcp_conn = conn->dd_data;
struct iscsi_sw_tcp_conn *tcp_sw_conn = tcp_conn->dd_data;
tcp_sw_conn->old_write_space(sk);
ISCSI_SW_TCP_DBG(conn, "iscsi_write_space\n");
iscsi_conn_queue_work(conn);
}
tcp_sw_conn->old_write_space() is called. And in the following
function, tcp_sw_conn->old_write_space() seems to be assigned to the
original value of "sk->sk_write_space"...
Could anyone show me which function does "sk->sk_write_space" point to
before it is assigned to "iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space;" later in the same
function?
static void iscsi_sw_tcp_conn_set_callbacks(struct iscsi_conn *conn)
{
struct iscsi_tcp_conn *tcp_conn = conn->dd_data;
struct iscsi_sw_tcp_conn *tcp_sw_conn = tcp_conn->dd_data;
struct sock *sk = tcp_sw_conn->sock->sk;
/* assign new callbacks */
......
tcp_sw_conn->old_write_space = sk->sk_write_space;
// assignment of "sk->sk_write_space" but after its value was assigned
to "tcp_sw_conn->old_write_space"...
sk->sk_write_space = iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space;
write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);
}
Another question is: Now that we have "sk->sk_write_space =
iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space" why do we have to call "tcp_sw_conn-
>old_write_space(sk);" in "iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space()"? Which function
is actually called when we do "tcp_sw_conn->old_write_space(sk);"?
And also in fuction "static void iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space(struct sock
*sk)", the last instruction is "iscsi_conn_queue_work(conn);". When I
trace down I found
inline void iscsi_conn_queue_work(struct iscsi_conn *conn)
{
struct Scsi_Host *shost = conn->session->host;
struct iscsi_host *ihost = shost_priv(shost);
if (ihost->workq)
queue_work(ihost->workq, &conn->xmitwork);
}
But I couldn't find more details about "queue_work(ihost->workq, &conn-
>xmitwork);" in the source code (ver 2.0.871). Could anyone maybe
point me to the code of "queu_work"?
And what exactly is done when we call "static void
iscsi_sw_tcp_write_space(struct sock *sk)"?
I'm guessing handing over some PDUs to TCP, but couldn't find anything
relevant in the source code (ver 2.0.871)....
Sorry for so many questions....
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Jack
