Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ topology files
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:45:25 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091022034525.13399.4286.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091022033506.13399.90799.stgit@bob.kio>
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max
/sys/devices/system/cpu/offline
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
/sys/devices/system/cpu/present
Excerpted the relevant information from Documentation/cputopology.txt
and pointed back to cputopology.txt as the authoritative source of
information.

+Description: CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
+ hotplug. Briefly:
+
+ kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
+ configuration.
+
+ offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
+ HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
+ kernel configuration (kernel_max above).
+
+ online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.
+
+ possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
+ brought online if they are present.
+
+ present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
+ the system.
+
+ See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
