Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] PCI: add some sysfs ABI docs
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 21:50:35 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090224055035.GF7436@sequoia.sous-sol.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090224012625.GA7436@sequoia.sous-sol.org>

Add sysfs ABI docs for driver entries bind, unbind and new_id.  These
entries are pretty old, from 2.6.0 onwards AFAIK, so this documents
current behaviour.

Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

v2
 - add note re: older kernels and echo -n
 - add ack from gregkh

+What:		/sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../bind
+Date:		December 2003
+Contact:	linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Writing a device location to this file will cause
+		the driver to attempt to bind to the device found at
+		this location.	This is useful for overriding default
+		bindings.  The format for the location is: DDDD:BB:DD.F.
+		That is Domain:Bus:Device.Function and is the same as
+		found in /sys/bus/pci/devices/.  For example:
+		# echo 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/bind
+		(Note: kernels before 2.6.28 may require echo -n).

+Date:		December 2003
+Contact:	linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
+		dynamically add a new device ID to a PCI device driver.
+		This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
+		was included in the driver's static device ID support
+		table at compile time.  The format for the device ID is:
+		VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM PPPP.  That is Vendor ID,
+		Device ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID,
+		Class, Class Mask, and Private Driver Data.  The Vendor ID
+		and Device ID fields are required, the rest are optional.
+		Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
+		for the device and attempt to bind to it.  For example:
+		# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/new_id
+
