In the present embodiment, equipment operation context may include the status number of the configuration of counterpart external device, some keys According to etc., it may indicate that the operating condition of the external equipment, in practical applications, the device context data correspondence of peripheral hardware is used to Say to be often opaque, so that using the switching control that can not be directly realized by equipment operation context, i.e., it cannot be direct State preservation/recovery order is sent to peripheral hardware, cannot also realize the flexible use to external equipment, flexible choice is exclusive outer The resource of portion's equipment, or the resource of external equipment is shared with other application, and also reduce computer to a certain extent and set Standby working performance.
In order to improve the above problem, the application proposes the logic for increasing its state saving/restoring in direct external equipment, such as Configuration status preservation/recovery order interface register, and the device memory for storing equipment operation context data, with External equipment is directly controlled so that device drives can be realized, realizes the interaction between external equipment and application.
Thus, the device drives in computer equipment can be realized based on the state saving/restoring logic of external equipment Switching to the equipment operation context of the external equipment, so that using that can be provided according to the current operation phase to external equipment The requirement in source accesses external equipment, such as exclusive external equipment resource or the resource that the external equipment is shared with other application, Or the external equipment is discharged, so that other application can monopolize the resource of the external equipment, that is, realize containerization scene Under, same external equipment is shared in multiple applications or a certain application is in the specific run stage makes the exclusive of external equipment With
In conjunction with the description of the part above step S11, below by the wound to the contents such as virtual unit and equipment operation context It builds and is illustrated, in the application, these contents are usually to realize in the creation container stage, are specifically referred to shown in Fig. 2 The flow diagram of another control method, this method are upper inferior to virtual unit, equipment operation mainly to container establishing stage The creation process of content is illustrated, the description as described in its use is referred to foregoing embodiments, as shown in Fig. 2, this method can To include but is not limited to following steps:
Step S21 for the container, configures virtual unit identifier, and create in the case where container engine creates container Build received shipment row context;
In practical applications, container engine docker can be used or container composer realizes container creation, thus, step The container engine of rapid S21 can refer to that container engine docker or container composer, the present embodiment do not do the creation process of container It is described in detail.
In addition, one group of container can be known as pod by the present embodiment, and the operating system of the computer equipment of the present embodiment is past It is past to dispose multiple containers, so, in the case where container engine creates container, the control method that the present embodiment proposes is executed, It is also assumed that being to execute the control method that the present embodiment proposes in the case where creating pod.
In the present embodiment, when creating container/pod, container engine can notify device drives to create corresponding virtual unit, It specifically can be with the virtual unit identifier that device drives can be globally unique for the container allocation, at the same time it can also create portion Equipment runs context, the equipment of creation can be run to context at this time as equipment default data, for the virtual unit The external equipment of mapping uses.
Step S22, creation virtual unit corresponding with institute's virtual unit identifier and equipment operation context, and should The device file of virtual unit;
Wherein, for any container in computer equipment, the virtual unit of creation is identified with unique virtual unit Symbol, so as to the virtual unit for other containers creation specifically divided into computer equipment.After creating virtual unit, it will be It creates device file, will pass through operation device file, realizes the use to the virtual unit, the application to virtual unit and The specific creation process of its device file is not detailed.
Step S23 obtains the attribute information of the device file, and the attribute information is fed back to the container engine, so that Using the attribute information for obtaining the device file by container engine, the attribute information based on the device file obtains the equipment File.
Wherein, the attribute information of device file may include the information such as path and/or the document number of device file, this implementation In example, which is primarily used to how instruction application accurately obtains required device file, that is to say, that the attribute information It can guide using from the multiple equipment file that device drives create, accurate to obtain required device file, the application is to the category The particular content that property information includes is without limitation.
In the present embodiment practical application, device drives are directed to any container, complete virtual unit and its device file After creation, can by device file path and/or document number, by each application of the container engine feedback into the container, in this way, Application in this embodiment is needed using in the case where the virtual unit, that is, needing to grasp the device file of the virtual unit Make, so that it may by attribute informations such as the file path of the device file of record and/or document numbers, the device file is read, And then by operating the device file, virtual unit belonging to the device file is used.
Based on the description of the core idea above to the application control method, and combine above to virtual unit and its equipment The description of the creation process of file, present applicant proposes a kind of refinement schemes to the control method, referring to shown in Fig. 3 another The flow diagram of kind control method, this method may include but be not limited to following steps:
Step S31, between application run-time in a reservoir, obtain this using virtual unit device file;
Step S32, inquires whether the virtual unit is mapped with external equipment, if not, entering step S33;If so, holding Row step S35;
In the present embodiment, in the application of virtual unit operation, it is able to access that the external equipment of virtual unit mapping, In practical application, virtual unit is created for some container, but multiple containers can share same external equipment, institute With virtual unit usually corresponds to unique container, but can map multiple external equipments, so that operating in the virtual unit Using the multiple external equipments of the person of being able to use.
In order to improve the reliability using external equipment, the application in deployment Mr. Yu's container needs to set using outside In the case where standby, if device drives obtain the equipment access request of the application, the corresponding virtual unit of the container can be first checked Currently whether it is mapped with true external equipment.
Step S33 obtains the external equipment for being currently at idle state;
External equipment it is not mapped with currently in the virtual unit of application operation (i.e. application needs external equipment to be used) In the case of, it can detecte the state of each external equipment in computer system, determining needs external equipment type to be used with application It is identical, and it is currently at the external equipment of idle state.
Wherein, the idle state of external equipment can refer to it not by any using in this case, this is in sky The external equipment of not busy state can not establish mapping relations with any virtual unit, even if having with the external equipment foundation reflect The resource etc. of the external equipment is currently not used in the application penetrating the virtual unit of relationship, but operating in the virtual unit.
Certainly, the idle state of external equipment can also refer to the external equipment by least one using but its resource Still there is allowance, i.e., can also receive the access request of new application.In this case, which, which is usually mapped with, virtually sets Application that is standby, but being currently operating in these virtual units of mapping, and all resources of the vacant external equipment, residue money Source can also support other application to run.
It can be seen that the application can be accounted for by the mapping relations of detection external equipment and/or the resource of the external equipment With situation etc., to determine whether the external equipment is in idle condition, but it is not limited to the detection method of the present embodiment description.
Step S34 establishes the mapping relations between the virtual unit and the external equipment being currently in idle condition;
The application to the construction methods of the mapping relations between virtual unit and external equipment without limitation, usual situation Under, after the mapping relations for determining virtual unit and external equipment, which can be stored to corresponding virtual unit and In external equipment, so that the application in virtual unit can be able to carry out data interaction, but not office between the external equipment It is limited to this.
The external equipment that the virtual unit currently maps is written in equipment operation context by step S35;
In conjunction with above description, external equipment is configured with the device memory for storing equipment operation context, sets in outside For when being first used, the equipment that device drives can be created runs context, be written in the device memory of the external equipment, To complete the initial configuration to the external equipment, so that the external equipment can work normally.
Step S36 sends state to the external equipment and restores order, so that external-device response equipment operation is up and down Text realizes the data interaction with application.
In the present embodiment, the interface that external equipment restores order and state save command by being configured to reception state is posted Storage, so that state saving/restoring command interface is externally transparent, so, the device drives of computer equipment can be by calling shape State saving/restoring command interface sends state to the interface register and restores order, so that the external equipment is read in equipment Equipment in depositing runs context, and responds equipment operation context, initial configuration is completed, so that using can be normal Operate the external equipment, meet application demand, as the external equipment can receive and response application send operational order, and Feedback operation data are applied to this, that is, realize the data interaction between the external equipment and application.
Wherein, the data exchange process about application and external equipment, the application are not detailed, can specifically answer according to this It is determined with the factors such as type and its demand of current operation phase, so, for different types of application, in different operation ranks Section, may be different from the data exchange process of external equipment, and the application does not do and is described in detail one by one.
Optionally, in practical applications, for realizing application and certain external equipment according to foregoing embodiments describing mode After data interaction, after a period of time, the application may not need temporarily using the external equipment, in order to avoid setting outside this The waste of standby resource, can discharge the external equipment, so that other application is able to use the external equipment.Specifically discharged Journey is referred to the signaling process figure of the another embodiment of control method shown in Fig. 4, when this method is mainly long to certain external equipment Between be illustrated by the control flow in the case where application access, as shown in figure 4, this method may include but be not limited to Lower step:
Step S41, device drives determine that external equipment not by application access, is sent out within a preset period of time to the external equipment Send state save command;
Wherein, preset time period can be a longer continuous time period, the application to its specific value without limitation.
In practical applications, certain external equipment the case where being not used by for a long time can there are many kinds of, as set outside this Standby not map any virtual unit, no application is able to use the external equipment;Alternatively, the external equipment is mapped with virtual unit, But the application for operating in the virtual unit does not need to use outside other of virtual unit mapping using the external equipment Equipment leads to external equipment situations such as being not used by for a long time, and the application is to external equipment in the tool being not used by for a long time Body situation is without limitation.
In order to avoid the waste to external device resource, in the case where determining that certain external equipment is not used by for a long time, The external equipment can be discharged, before this, driving equipment is needed to record the current equipment operation context of the external equipment, with When just using the external equipment next time, the external equipment can be controlled and be directly returned to current state.
Based on this, the present embodiment can be by calling the state saving interface of the external equipment, to connecing for the external equipment Mouth register sends state save command, but the sending method of the state save command is not limited to a kind of this implementation.
Step S42, external-device response state save command save current device and run context;
Step S43, external equipment save prompt information to device drives feedback states;
External equipment receives device drives will be after gas saves the order of state, can be by the configuration of current device and interior Some key state data in portion, the i.e. current device of the external equipment run context, the equipment for being synchronized to the external equipment Memory saves, and the application runs context data content without limitation to the current device of external equipment, can be based on outside this The type and its working condition of equipment determine, and are key state for which status information of the external equipment that needs save Information, can also the factors setting such as type based on the external equipment and its working principle different external equipments are needed The key state data content of preservation is often different, the application to it without limitation.
In practical applications, after the determining operation context write device memory by its current device of external equipment, Ke Yigao Know device drives, if what the present embodiment proposed saves prompt information to device drives feedback states, being used to annunciator driving should External equipment is to current device operation context backup storage.The application saves the content of prompt information and its defeated to the state Form etc. is without limitation out.
Step S44, the current device that the synchronous storage external equipment of device drives saves run context;
After device drives learn that current device is run context write device memory by external equipment, can directly it be set from this Standby memory reads the current operation context of the equipment, and is synchronized to driver, in this way, device drives determine the external equipment Again by use, the above-mentioned current device saved at this time can be run context is written the external equipment, so that this is outer Portion's equipment can be directly returned to state when last terminate using the external equipment.
Step S45, device drives discharge the mapping relations of the external equipment and virtual unit, and working as the external equipment Preceding state is adjusted to idle state.
After analysis above, device drives determine that the external equipment is not used by for a long time, it is believed that respectively apply current rank Section is not needed using the external equipment, can directly discharge the mapping relations between the external equipment and virtual unit, and should The current state of external equipment is adjusted to idle state, that is to say, that can mark the external equipment being not used by for a long time For free device.
In this way, needing between application run-time from now on using the external equipment, and the virtual unit of its operation does not map together The external equipment of type can directly map the virtual unit and the free device in the way of foregoing embodiments description, And then it is able to use the free device using the application, specific operation process is referred to retouching for foregoing embodiments corresponding portion It states.
Optionally, in the case where determining that external equipment is not used by for a long time, device drives can also not have to release should The mapping relations of external equipment and virtual unit, but directly adjusting its current state is idle state, so that subsequent applications It is able to use the free device, the resource of such as exclusive external equipment being in idle condition, or it is shared in sky with other application The resource of external equipment etc. of not busy state.The application does not limit the method for releasing for the external equipment being not used by for a long time It is fixed.
To sum up, the external equipment of the application provides externally transparent state saving/restoring command interface, so that equipment Driving directly can send state save command to the external equipment or state restores order, it is outer to control this according to current demand Portion's equipment carries out state preservation or recovery, avoids causing to waste to external device resource occupancy for a long time, or meet and application Data interaction demand.
And the external equipment additionally provides the equipment operation context externally transparent, device memory saves, so that setting Standby driving directly can be written and read equipment operation context, i.e., equipment is driven according to the actual demand of operation application Kinetic energy, which enough chooses the right moment, cooperates hardware device to carry out context switching, and saves the operation context of equipment when switching, relative to Opaque preservation of the prior art to the equipment operation context recorded in real time, not only reduces the equipment state number for needing to save According to, and rate-determining steps are simplified, improve control reliability.
Wherein, the mapping relations between virtual unit and external equipment are dynamic, can not need to set using outside When standby, the external equipment is discharged in time, reduces the waste to external device resource, and do not need change application, it will be able to make It obtains multiple applications and efficiently shares external equipment.
As another alternative embodiment of the application, reference Fig. 5 is the another embodiment of control method provided by the present application Signaling process schematic diagram, this method may include but be not limited to following steps:
Step S51, container engine determine that each application in the first container is removed, generate the appearance for being directed to the first container Device destroys order;
In the present embodiment practical application, the operating system of computer equipment can dispose at least one container, each At least one application can be disposed in container.In this way, in the case where determining that all applications in any container are all removed, In order to save space, it may be considered that the container is destroyed, so the container destruction order for the container can be generated at this time.
Wherein, the first container in step S51 can be any container for the operating system for being deployed in computer equipment, this Apply for the method whether all removed to each application how detected in the first container without limitation, such as detecting each application process is It is no the methods of all to terminate.
The container is destroyed order and is sent to device drives by step S52, container engine;
Step S53, device drives respond the container and destroy order, the corresponding virtual unit identifier of release the first container and Equipment runs context;
Step S54, device drives remove the virtual unit for the first container creation.
In the present embodiment, after the determination of container engine can destroy certain container, life can will be destroyed for the container of the container Order is sent to device drives, responds the container by the device drives and destroys order, specifically can be before destroying container, Ke Yixian The corresponding virtual unit identifier of the container and equipment operation context are discharged, then removes virtually setting for container creation Standby, the present embodiment does not limit for specific sweep-out method.
