control_domains:
A read-only file for displaying the control domain numbers assigned to the
vfio_ap mediated device.
+ ap_config:
+ A read/write file that, when written to, allows all three of the
+ vfio_ap mediated device's ap matrix masks to be replaced in one shot.
+ Three masks are given, one for adapters, one for domains, and one for
+ control domains. If the given state cannot be set then no changes are
+ made to the vfio-ap mediated device.
+
+ The format of the data written to ap_config is as follows:
+ {amask},{dmask},{cmask}\n
+
+ \n is a newline character.
+
+ amask, dmask, and cmask are masks identifying which adapters, domains,
+ and control domains should be assigned to the mediated device.
+
+ The format of a mask is as follows:
+ 0xNN..NN
+
+ Where NN..NN is 64 hexadecimal characters representing a 256-bit value.
+ The leftmost (highest order) bit represents adapter/domain 0.
+
+ For an example set of masks that represent your mdev's current
+ configuration, simply cat ap_config.
+
+ Setting an adapter or domain number greater than the maximum allowed for
+ the system will result in an error.
+
+ This attribute is intended to be used by automation. End users would be
+ better served using the respective assign/unassign attributes for
+ adapters, domains, and control domains.
