网络设备是完成用户数据包在网络媒介上发送和接收的设备，它将上层协议传递下来的数据包以特定的媒介访问控制方式进行发送，并将接收到的数据包传递给上层协议。
Linux系统对网络设备驱动定义了4个层次，这4个层次分别为：
1）网络协议接口层；
2）网络设备接口层；
3）提供实际功能的设备驱动功能层；
4）网络设备与媒介层。
Linux网络设备驱动程序的体系结构如下图所示，从上到下可以分为4层，依次为网络协议接口层、网络设备接口层、提供实际功能的设备驱动功能层以及网络设备与媒介层，各层作用如下：
网络协议接口层： 向网络层协议提供统一的数据包收发接口，不论上层协议是ARP，还是IP，都通过dev_queue_xmit()函数发送数据，并通过netif_rx()函数接收数据。这一层的存在使得上层协议独立于具体的设备。
网络设备接口层： 向协议接口层提供统一的用于描述具体网络设备属性和操作的结构体net_device，该结构体是设备驱动功能层中各函数的容器。网络设备接口层从宏观上规划了具体操作硬件的设备驱动功能层的结构。
设备驱动功能层： 设备驱动功能层的各函数是网络设备接口层net_device数据结构的具体成员，是驱使网络设备硬件完成相应动作的程序，它通过hard_start_xmit()函数启动发送操作，并通过网络设备上的中断触发接收操作。
网络设备与媒介层： 完成数据包发送和接收的物理实体，包括网络适配器和具体的传输媒介，网络适配器被设备驱动功能层中的函数在物理上驱动。对于Linux系统而言，网络设备和吗，媒介都可以是虚拟的。
在设计具体的网络设备驱动程序时，我们需要完成的主要工作是编写设备驱动功能层的相关函数以填充net_device数据结构的内容并将net_device注册进内核。
网络协议接口层最主要的功能是给上层协议提供透明的数据包发送和接收接口。当上层ARP或IP需要发送数据包时，它将调用网络协议接口层的dev_queue_xmit()函数发送该数据包，同时需传递给该函数一个指向 struct sk_buff
数据结构的指针。dev_queue_xmit( ) 函数的原型为：
int dev_queue_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb);
同样的，上层对数据包的接收也通过向netif_rx( )函数传递一个 struct sk_buff 数据结构的指针来完成。netif_rx( ) 函数的原型为：
int netif_rx(struct sk_buff *skb);
sk_buff结构体非常重要，它定义于 include/linux/skbuff.h 文件中， 含义为“套接字缓冲区”， 用于在Linux网络子系统中的各层之间传递数据，是Linux网络子系统数据传递的 “中枢神经”。
当发送数据包时，Linux内核的网络处理模块必须建立一个包含要传输的数据包的 sk_buff， 然后将 sk_buff 递交给下层，各层在 sk_buff中添加不同的协议头直至交给网络设备发送。同理， 当网络设备从网络媒介上接收到数据包后，它必须
将接收到的数据转换为 sk_buff 数据结构并传递给上层， 各层剥去相应的协议头直至交给用户。

如下图所示，尤其值得注意的是 head 和 end 指向缓冲区的头部和尾部，而 data 和 tail 指向实际数据的头部和尾部。每一层会在 head 和 data 之间填充协议头，或者在 tail 和 end 之间添加新的协议数据。
下面分析下套接字缓冲区涉及的操作函数，Linux套接字缓冲区支持分配、释放、变更等功能函数。
（1） 分配
Linux 内核中用于分配套接字缓冲区的函数有：
struct sk_buff *alloc_skb(unsigned int len, gfp_t priority); struct sk_buff *dev_alloc_skb(unsigned int len);
alloc_skb( )函数分配一个套接字缓冲区和一个数据缓冲区，参数 len 为数据缓冲区的空间大小，通常以L1_CACHE_BYTES字节（对于 ARM 为32）对齐，参数priority为内存分配的优先级。
dev_alloc_skb( )函数以 GFP_ATOMIC 优先级进行 skb 的分配，原因是该函数经常在设备驱动的接收中断里被调用。
（2）释放
Linux内核中用于释放套接字缓冲区的函数有：
void kfree_skb(struct sk_buff *skb); void dev_kfree_skb(struct sk_buff *skb); void dev_kfree_skb_irq(struct sk_buff *skb); void dev_kfree_skb_any(struct sk_buff *skb);
上述函数用于释放被alloc_skb( )函数分配的套接字缓冲区和数据缓冲区。
Linux内核内部使用 kfree_skb( ) 函数，但在网络设备驱动程序中最好用 dev_kfree_skb( )、dev_kfree_skb_irq( ) 或 dev_kfree_skb_any( )函数进行套接字缓冲区的释放。
dev_kfree_skb( )用于非中断上下文， dev_kfree_skb_irq( )用于中断上下文，dev_kfree_skb_any( )在中断和非中断上下文中皆可使用，它其实是做一个简单地上下文判断，然后再调用__dev_kfree_skb_irq( ) 或者 dev_kfree_skb( )，代码实现如下：
void __dev_kfree_skb_any(struct sk_buff *skb, enum skb_free_reason reason) { if (in_irq() || irqs_disabled()) __dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb, reason); else dev_kfree_skb(skb); }
(3)变更
在Linux内核中可以用如下函数在缓冲区尾部增加数据：
unsigned char *skb_put(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int len) ;
它会导致 skb->tail 后移 len （skb->tail += len），而skb->len会增加 len 的大小（ skb->len += len ）。通常在设备驱动的接收数据处理中会调用此函数。
在Linux内核中可以用如下函数在缓冲区开头增加数据：
unsigned char *skb_push(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned len);
它会导致 skb->data 前移 len (skb->data -= len )，而 skb->len会增加 len 的大小（skb->len += len）。与 该函数功能相反的函数是 skb_pull( )，它可以在缓冲区开头移除数据，执行的动作是skb->len -= len、 skb->data += len。
对于一个空的缓冲区而言，调用如下函数可以调整缓冲区的头部：
static inline void skb_reserve(struct sk_buff *skb, int len);
它会将 skb->data 和 skb->tail 同时后移 len，执行 skb->data += len、skb->tail += len。内核里存在许多类似代码：
skb = alloc_skb(len + headspace, GFP_KERNEL); skb_reserve(skb, headspace); skb_put(skb, len); memcpy_fromfs(skb->data, data, len); pass_to_m_protocol(skb);
上述代码先分配一个全新的 sk_buff，接着调用 skb_reserve( )腾出头部空间，之后调用 skb_put( )腾出数据空间，然后把数据复制进来，最后把 sk_buff 传给协议栈。
网络设备接口层的主要功能是为千变万化的网络设备定义统一、抽象的数据结构 net_device 结构体，实现多种硬件在软件层次上的统一。
net_device 结构体在内核中指代一个网络设备，它定义于include/linux/netdevice.h 中，网络设备驱动程序只需通过填充 net_device 的具体成员并注册 net_device 即可实现硬件操作函数与内核的挂接。
net_device 是一个巨大的结构体，包含网络设备的属性描述和操作接口，下面介绍一些其中的关键成员。
（1）全局信息
char name[IFNAMESIZ];
name 是网络设备的名称。
（2）硬件信息
unsigned long mem_end; unsigned long mem_start;
mem_start 和 mem_end 分别定义了设备所使用的共享内存的起始和结束地址。
unsigned long base_addr; unsigned char irq; unsigned char if_port; unsigned char dma;
base_addr 为网络设备I/O基地址。
irq为设备使用的中断
if_port 指定多端口设备使用哪一个端口，该字段仅针对多端口设备。例如，如果设备同时支持 IF_PORT_10BASE2(同轴电缆) 和 IF_PORT_10BASET(双绞线)，则可使用该字段。
dma指定分配给设备的DMA通道。
（3）接口信息
unsigned short hard_header_len;
hard_header_len 是网络设备的硬件头长度，在以太网设备的初始化函数中，该成员被赋为 ETH_HLEN，即14。
unsigned short type;
type是接口的硬件类型。
unsigned mtu;
mtu 指最大传输单元（MTU）。
unsigned char *dev_addr;
用于存放设备的硬件地址，驱动可能提供了设置 MAC 地址的接口，这会导致用户设置的 MAC 地址等存入该成员，如 drivers/net/ethernet/moxa/moxart_ether.c 中的 moxart_set_mac_address( ) 函数所示。
static int moxart_set_mac_address(struct net_device *ndev, void *addr) { struct sockaddr *address = addr; if (!is_valid_ether_addr(address->sa_data)) return -EADDRNOTAVAIL; memcpy (ndev->dev_addr, address->sa_data, ndev->addr_len); moxart_update_mac_address(ndev); return 0; }
上述代码完成了 memcpy() 以及最终硬件上的 MAC 地址变更。
unsigned short flags;
flags 指网络接口标志， 以 IFF_（Interface Flags）开头， 部分标志由内核来管理，其他的在接口初始化时被设置以说明设备接口的能力和特性。接口标志包括 IFF_UP（当设备被激活并可以开始发送数据包时，内核设置该标志）、 IFF_AUTOMEDIA（设备可在多种媒介间切换）、IFF_BROADCAST（允许广播）、IFF_DEBUG（调试模式，可用于控制 printk 调用的详细程度）、IFF_LOOPBACK（回环） 、IFF_MULTICAST（允许组播）、IFF_NOARP（接口不能执行ARP）和 IFF_POINTOPOINT（接口连接到点对点链路）等。
（4）设备操作函数
const struct net_device_ops *netdev_ops;
该结构体是网络设备的一系列硬件操作行数的集合，它也定义于 include/linux/netdevice.h 中，这个结构体很大，如下：

ndo_open( ) 函数的作用是打开网络接口设备，获得设备需要的I/O地址、IRQ、DMA通道等。stop( )函数的作用是停止网络接口设备，与 open( ) 函数的作用相反。
int（*ndo_start_xmit） (struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev);
ndo_start_xmit( ) 函数会启动数据包的发送， 当系统调用驱动程序的 xmit 函数时，需要向其传入一个 sk_buff 指针，使得驱动程序能获取从上层传递下来的数据包。
void (*ndo_tx_timeout) (struct net_device *dev);
当数据包的发送超时时，ndo_tx_timeout( )函数会被调用，该函数需采取重新启动数据包发送过程 或 重新启动硬件等措施来恢复网络设备到正常状态。
struct net_device_stats* (*ndo_get_stats) (struct net_device *dev);
ndo_get_stats( ) 函数用于获得网络设备的状态信息，它返回一个 net_device_stats结构体指针。net_device_stats 结构体保存了详细的网络设备流量统计信息，如发送和接收的数据包数、字节数等。
int (*ndo_do_ioctl) (struct net_device *dev, struct ifreq *ifr, int cmd); int (*ndo_set_config) (struct net_device *dev, struct ifmap *map); int (*ndo_set_mac_address) (struct net_device *dev, void *addr);
ndo_do_ioctl( ) 函数用于进行设备特定的 I/O 控制。
ndo_set_config( ) 函数用于配置接口，也可用于改变设备的 I/O 地址和中断号。
ndo_set_mac_address( ) 函数用于设置设备的 MAC 地址。
除了 netdev_ops 以外， 在 net_device 中还存在类似于 ethtool_ops、header_ops这样的操作集：
const struct ethtool_ops *ethtool_ops; const struct header_ops *header_ops;
ethtool_ops 成员函数与用户空间 ethtool 工具的各个命令选项对应， ethtool提供了网卡及网卡驱动管理能力，能够为 Linux 网络开发人员和管理人员提供对网卡硬件、驱动程序和网络协议栈的设置、查看以及调试等功能。
header_ops 对于硬件头部操作，主要是完成创建硬件头部和从给定的 sk_buff 分析出硬件头部等操作。
（5）辅助成员
unsigned long trans_start; unsigned long last_rx;
trans_start 记录最后的数据包开始发送时的时间戳， last_rx 记录最后一次接收到数据包时的时间戳，这两个时间戳记录的都是jiffies，驱动程序应维护这两个成员。
通常情况下，网络设备驱动以中断方式接收数据包，而 poll_controller( ) 则采用纯轮询方式，另外一种数据接收方式是 NAPI（New API），其数据接收流程为 “接收中断来临 -> 关闭接收中断 ->以轮询方式接收所有数据包直到收空->开启接收中断->接收中断来临······”。内核中提供了如下与 NAPI 相关的 API:
static inline void netif_napi_add(struct net_device *dev, struct napi_struct *napi, int (*poll) (struct napi_struct *, int), int weight); static inline void netif_napi_del(struct napi_struct *napi);
以上两个函数分别用于初始化和移除一个 NAPI， netif_napi_add( ) 的 poll 参数是 NAPI 要调度执行的轮询函数。
static inline void napi_enable(struct napi_struct *n); static inline void napi_disable(struct napi_struct *n);
以上两个函数分别用于使能和禁止 NAPI 调度。
static inline int napi_schedule_prep(struct napi_struct *n);
该函数用于检查 NAPI 是否可以调度， 而 napi_schedule( ) 函数用于调度轮询实例的运行，其原型为：
static inline void napi_schedule(struct napi_struct *n);
在 NAPI 处理完成的时候应该调用：
static inline void napi_complete(struct napi_struct *n);
net_device 结构体的成员（属性和 net_device_ops 结构体中的函数指针）需要被设备驱动功能层赋予具体的数值和函数。对于具体的设备xxx，应该编写相应的设备驱动功能层的函数，这些函数形如 xxx_open( )、xxx_stop( )、xxx_tx( )、 xxx_hard_header( )、
xxx_get_stats( ) 和 xxx_tx_timeout( )等。
由于网络数据包的接收可由中断引发，设备驱动功能层中的另一个主体部分将是中断处理函数，它负责读取硬件上接收到的数据包并传送给上层协议，因此可能包含 xxx_interrupt( ) 和 xxx_rx( ) 函数，前者完成中断类型判断等基本工作，后者则需要完成数据包的生成
及将其递交给上层等复杂工作。
对于特定的设备，我们还可以定义相关的私有数据和操作，并封装为一个私有信息结构体 xxx_private，让其指针赋值给 net_device 的私有成员。 在 xxx_private 结构体中可包含设备的特殊属性和操作、自旋锁与信号量、定时器以及统计信息等，由我们自定义。
在驱动中，要用到私有数据的时候，则使用在 netdevice.h 中定义的接口：
static inline void *netdev_priv(const struct net_device *dev);
例如在驱动 drivers/net/ethernet/davicom/dm900.c 的 dm9000_probe( ) 函数中，使用 alloc_etherdev(sizeof(struct board_info)) 分配网络设备， board_info 结构体就成了这个网络设备的私有数据，在其他函数中可以简单地提取这个私有数据，例如：
static int dm9000_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev) { unsigned long flags; board_info_t *db = netdev_priv(dev); ``` }
