Binder驱动层的代码在kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android下的binder.c和binder.h。Android源码是不带Linux内核的，驱动正是在这个内核里，需要单独下载，出门左转参见《Anrdoid源码、内核编译》。驱动的相关知识先不在这里展开了，那又是一个庞大的体系，以后再啃。直奔我们的主题——客户端为test()组织的请求数据是：

驱动程序是如何处理这个数据包的呢？

从应用层登陆，顺流直下

为此，还需要先从应用层往下看，frameworks/native/libs/binder/IPCThreadState.cpp:548，就从这里登陆吧。客户端组织test()请求数据时，调用到IPCThreadState::transact(…)

status_t IPCThreadState::transact(int32_t handle,uint32_t code, const Parcel& data,Parcel* reply, uint32_t flags)
{   // code=TEST, flag=0flags |= TF_ACCEPT_FDS;......err = writeTransactionData(BC_TRANSACTION, flags, handle, code, data, NULL);......if (reply) {err = waitForResponse(reply);  // 这次重点看这里} else {Parcel fakeReply;err = waitForResponse(&fakeReply);}......return err;
}

函数使用writeTransactionData(…)打包好数据后，接下来调用waitForResponse(…)把数据发出去。
frameworks/native/libs/binder/IPCThreadState.cpp:712

status_t IPCThreadState::waitForResponse(Parcel *reply, status_t *acquireResult)
{uint32_t cmd;int32_t err;while (1) {if ((err=talkWithDriver()) < NO_ERROR) break;......}......return err;
}

继续调用talkWithDriver()和驱动对话,frameworks/native/libs/binder/IPCThreadState.cpp:803

status_t IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver(bool doReceive)
{   // doReceive=true......binder_write_read bwr;......const bool needRead = mIn.dataPosition() >= mIn.dataSize();// mIn有上一轮IO读出尚未解析的数据，因此needRead=true......const size_t outAvail = (!doReceive || needRead) ? mOut.dataSize() : 0; // outAvail=mOut.dataSize()bwr.write_size = outAvail;bwr.write_buffer = (uintptr_t)mOut.data();......if (doReceive && needRead) {bwr.read_size = mIn.dataCapacity();bwr.read_buffer = (uintptr_t)mIn.data();} ......bwr.write_consumed = 0;bwr.read_consumed = 0;status_t err;do {......if (ioctl(mProcess->mDriverFD, BINDER_WRITE_READ, &bwr) >= 0) // 重点在这err = NO_ERROR;......} while (err == -EINTR);......    return err;
}

doReceive取默认值为true，在通过test()调用到talkWithDriver(...)之前，和驱动的对话已经做了好几轮了，比如defaultServiceManager()和ServiceManager的对话，getService(...)和Service的对话，此时mIn中应该是有之前读出尚未解析的数据，因此needRead=true，outAvail=mOut.dataSize()。可以组织一个gdb确认mIn此时的内容。

组织一个gdb确认此时mIn的内容

需要开启三个终端完成调试：
1. Target1 在模拟器上启动server

$ adb shell /data/local/tmp/testservice/TestServer

1. Target2 在模拟器上通过gdbserver启动客户端

$ adb shell gdbserver :1234 /data/local/tmp/testservice/TestClient
Process /data/local/tmp/testservice/TestClient created; pid = 1254
Listening on port 1234
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1

1. Host1 在宿主端启动gdb

$ ./prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gdb out/debug/target/product/generic/obj/EXECUTABLES/TestClient_intermediates/LINKED/TestClient

# 结果和我猜测的一致

综上所述，在IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver(...)中调用

ioctl(mProcess->mDriverFD, BINDER_WRITE_READ, &brw)

传入的数据bwr即为：

进入驱动层

终于可以有此穿越到驱动层了！binder驱动层对接ioctl的函数是binder_ioctl(…)。kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android/binder.c:2716

static long binder_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{   // cmd=BINDER_WRITE_READint ret;struct binder_proc *proc = filp->private_data;struct binder_thread *thread;unsigned int size = _IOC_SIZE(cmd);void __user *ubuf = (void __user *)arg;......thread = binder_get_thread(proc);......switch (cmd) {case BINDER_WRITE_READ: {struct binder_write_read bwr;......if (copy_from_user(&bwr, ubuf, sizeof(bwr))) {// 把上图总用户空间的bwr复制到内核......}......if (bwr.write_size > 0) {// 重点在这里ret = binder_thread_write(proc, thread, (void __user *)bwr.write_buffer, bwr.write_size, &bwr.write_consumed);trace_binder_write_done(ret);......}......}......}ret = 0;
......return ret;
}

先尽可能地剪掉细枝末节，来看重点调用

binder_thread_write(proc, thread, (void __user *)bwr.write_buffer,bwr.write_size, &bwr.write_consumed);

kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android/binder.c:1837

int binder_thread_write(struct binder_proc *proc, struct binder_thread *thread,void __user *buffer, int size, signed long *consumed)
{uint32_t cmd;void __user *ptr = buffer + *consumed;void __user *end = buffer + size;while (ptr < end && thread->return_error == BR_OK) {if (get_user(cmd, (uint32_t __user *)ptr))return -EFAULT;ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);trace_binder_command(cmd);if (_IOC_NR(cmd) < ARRAY_SIZE(binder_stats.bc)) {binder_stats.bc[_IOC_NR(cmd)]++;proc->stats.bc[_IOC_NR(cmd)]++;thread->stats.bc[_IOC_NR(cmd)]++;}switch (cmd) {......case BC_TRANSACTION:case BC_REPLY: {struct binder_transaction_data tr;if (copy_from_user(&tr, ptr, sizeof(tr)))return -EFAULT;ptr += sizeof(tr); // 对照前面的图逆向拆解binder_transaction(proc, thread, &tr, cmd == BC_REPLY);break;}......}*consumed = ptr - buffer;}return 0;
}

这个cmd的值是BC_TRANSACTION，因此应该继续binder_transaction(proc, thread, &tr, false)。这个函数实在太长了，后面再花一节的篇幅深入该函数。
