The override is specified by writing a string + to the driver_override file (echo vfio-platform > \ + driver_override) and may be cleared with an empty string + (echo > driver_override). This returns the device to standard + matching rules binding. Writing to driver_override does not + automatically unbind the device from its current driver or make + any attempt to automatically load the specified driver. If no + driver with a matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, + the device will not bind to any driver. This also allows + devices to opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override + name such as "none". Only a single driver may be specified in + the override, there is no support for parsing delimiters. + +What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../numa_node +Date: June 2020 +Contact: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com> +Description: + This file contains the NUMA node to which the platform device + is attached. It won't be visible if the node is unknown. The + value comes from an ACPI _PXM method or a similar firmware + source. Initial users for this file would be devices like + arm smmu which are populated by arm64 acpi_iort. |
