linux内核/dev/null的实现

static const struct file_operations null_fops = {
	.llseek		= null_lseek,
	.read		= read_null,
	.write		= write_null,
	.read_iter	= read_iter_null,
	.write_iter	= write_iter_null,
	.splice_write	= splice_write_null,
};


static const struct memdev {
	const char *name;
	umode_t mode;
	const struct file_operations *fops;
	fmode_t fmode;
} devlist[] = {
#ifdef CONFIG_DEVMEM
	 [1] = { "mem", 0, &mem_fops, FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_DEVKMEM
	 [2] = { "kmem", 0, &kmem_fops, FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET },
#endif
	 [3] = { "null", 0666, &null_fops, 0 },
#ifdef CONFIG_DEVPORT
	 [4] = { "port", 0, &port_fops, 0 },
#endif
	 [5] = { "zero", 0666, &zero_fops, 0 },
	 [7] = { "full", 0666, &full_fops, 0 },
	 [8] = { "random", 0666, &random_fops, 0 },
	 [9] = { "urandom", 0666, &urandom_fops, 0 },
#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK
	[11] = { "kmsg", 0644, &kmsg_fops, 0 },
#endif
};

外部进行读取的时候，直接返回0

写入时返回写入的count，buf是直接不管的。

static ssize_t read_null(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
			 size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
	return 0;
}

static ssize_t write_null(struct file *file, const char __user *buf,
			  size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
	return count;
}
