struct seq_operations {

當(dāng)用戶態(tài)的程序打開這個(gè)對(duì)應(yīng)的proc目錄時(shí)，open->sysopen->exm_seq_open->seq_open(file,&exam_seq_ops),下面我們主要來(lái)看下seq_open函數(shù)
int seq_open(struct file *file, const struct seq_operations *op)
{
 struct seq_file *p = file->private_data;

 if (!p) {
  p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL); 
  if (!p)
   return -ENOMEM;
  file->private_data = p;
 }
 memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
 mutex_init(&p->lock);
 p->op = op;

 /*
  * Wrappers around seq_open(e.g. swaps_open) need to be
  * aware of this. If they set f_version themselves, they
  * should call seq_open first and then set f_version.
  */
 file->f_version = 0;

 /* SEQ files support lseek, but not pread/pwrite */
 file->f_mode &= ~(FMODE_PREAD | FMODE_PWRITE);
 return 0;
}
struct seq_file {
 char *buf;
 size_t size;
 size_t from;
 size_t count;
 loff_t index;
 u64 version;
 struct mutex lock;
 const struct seq_operations *op;
 void *private;
};
再來(lái)看下seq_read函數(shù)
/**
 * seq_read - ->read() method for sequential files.
 * @file: the file to read from
 * @buf: the buffer to read to
 * @size: the maximum number of bytes to read
 * @ppos: the current position in the file
 *
 * Ready-made ->f_op->read()
 */
ssize_t seq_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t size, loff_t *ppos)
{
 struct seq_file *m = (struct seq_file *)file->private_data;
 /* grab buffer if we didn't have one */
 if (!m->buf) {
  m->buf = kmalloc(m->size = PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
  if (!m->buf)
   goto Enomem;
 }
 p = m->op->start(m, &pos);
 while (1) {
  err = m->op->show(m, p);

   p = m->op->next(m, p, &pos);

  m->op->stop(m, p);
  }
} //可見seq_read函數(shù)分別調(diào)用了自定義的seq_operation結(jié)構(gòu)中的回調(diào)函數(shù)start,show,next,stop等函數(shù)。
這樣就將vfs層的sys_read->seq_read（調(diào)用我們自己定義的seq_operation的start,show,next,stop等函數(shù)），從而可以根據(jù)我們自己選擇的方式去顯示我們的數(shù)據(jù)。
