Typical i/o operation execution

This is a very brief desctiption for overall understanding of io vfs_node operations. Implementation of SceIofilemgr is quite solid and most of the functions are implemented in the same manner however there could be exceptions. When io operation like sceIoLseek is called here is what happens:

  • all user space arguments are copied to kernel space, usually onto the kernel stack. all user space uids are converted to kernel space uids
  • optionally control may be passed to wrapper function that also does conversion
  • then control is passed to kernel level function like sceIoLseekForDriver
  • kernel level function checks 0x2198 (IoSchedulerDispatcher initialized) flag

if dispatcher is not initialized:

  • kernel level function updates 0x1964 (i/o dirty) and 0x1980 (i/o counter) flags
  • kernel level function spawns separate thread and passes all arguments in single structure
  • separate thread then unpacks all arguments, finds vfs_node and calls exported function like vfs_node_func7
  • exported function packs all arguments into single stucture and calls real callback since it has vfs_node with node operation table
  • callback routine should be located in generic device driver, like SceSdstor, SceExfatfs or ScePfsMgr. It unpacks the arguments and then does something. For example SceSdstor dispatches the call further to SceSdif, SceWlanBt, SceMsif and SceUsbMass.
  • kernel level function updates 0x1980 (i/o counter) flag

if dispatcher is initialized:

  • kernel level function passes arguments to wrapper
  • wrapper initializes io_contex and assigns i/o operation index
  • wrapper updates 0x1964 (i/o dirty) and 0x1980 (i/o counter) flags
  • wrapper runs dispatcher function (offset 0x17C00) in separate thread. this function selects proper vfs_node function based on i/o operation index.
  • wrapper updates 0x1980 (i/o counter) flag

i/o operation index

Typically operations are dispatched from kernel functions.

However there are exceptions: sceIoLseek32, sceIoDopenAsync, sceIoDreadAsync, sceIoDcloseAsync user functions can be dispatched.

Typically operations have normal and async version - regulated by async flag in io_context.

However there are exceptions: sceIoLseek32, sceIoIoctlForDriver, sceIoDevctlForDriver, sceIoGetstatForDriver_2, sceIoChstatForDriver_2, sceIoDreadForDriver_2 do not have async version.
