If it is cleared, the + device will never be put into D3Cold state. If it is set, the + device may be put into D3Cold state if other requirements are + satisfied too. Reading this attribute will show the current + value of d3cold_allowed bit. Writing this attribute will set + the value of d3cold_allowed bit. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_totalvfs +Date: November 2012 +Contact: Donald Dutile <ddutile@redhat.com> +Description: + This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV. + Userspace applications can read this file to determine the + maximum number of Virtual Functions (VFs) a PCIe physical + function (PF) can support. Typically, this is the value reported + in the PF's SR-IOV extended capability structure's TotalVFs + element. Drivers have the ability at probe time to reduce the + value read from this file via the pci_sriov_set_totalvfs() + function. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_numvfs +Date: November 2012 +Contact: Donald Dutile <ddutile@redhat.com> +Description: + This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV. + Userspace applications can read and write to this file to + determine and control the enablement or disablement of Virtual + Functions (VFs) on the physical function (PF). A read of this + file will return the number of VFs that are enabled on this PF. + A number written to this file will enable the specified + number of VFs. A userspace application would typically read the + file and check that the value is zero, and then write the number + of VFs that should be enabled on the PF; the value written + should be less than or equal to the value in the sriov_totalvfs + file. A userspace application wanting to disable the VFs would + write a zero to this file. The core ensures that valid values + are written to this file, and returns errors when values are not + valid. For example, writing a 2 to this file when sriov_numvfs + is not 0 and not 2 already will return an error. Writing a 10 + when the value of sriov_totalvfs is 8 will return an error. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../driver_override +Date: April 2014 +Contact: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> +Description: + This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which + will override standard static and dynamic ID matching. When + specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written + to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the + device. The override is specified by writing a string to the + driver_override file (echo pci-stub > 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/pci/devices/.../numa_node +Date: Oct 2014 +Contact: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> +Description: + This file contains the NUMA node to which the PCI device is + attached, or -1 if the node is unknown. The initial value + comes from an ACPI _PXM method or a similar firmware + source. If that is missing or incorrect, this file can be + written to override the node. In that case, please report + a firmware bug to the system vendor. Writing to this file + taints the kernel with TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, which + reduces the supportability of your system. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../revision +Date: November 2016 +Contact: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> +Description: + This file contains the revision field of the PCI device. + The value comes from device config space. The file is read only. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_drivers_autoprobe +Date: April 2017 +Contact: Bodong Wang<bodong@mellanox.com> +Description: + This file is associated with the PF of a device that + supports SR-IOV. It determines whether newly-enabled VFs + are immediately bound to a driver. It initially contains + 1, which means the kernel automatically binds VFs to a + compatible driver immediately after they are enabled. If + an application writes 0 to the file before enabling VFs, + the kernel will not bind VFs to a driver. + + A typical use case is to write 0 to this file, then enable + VFs, then assign the newly-created VFs to virtual machines. + Note that changing this file does not affect already- + enabled VFs. In this scenario, the user must first disable + the VFs, write 0 to sriov_drivers_autoprobe, then re-enable + the VFs. + + This is similar to /sys/bus/pci/drivers_autoprobe, but + affects only the VFs associated with a specific PF. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../p2pmem/size +Date: November 2017 +Contact: Logan Gunthorpe <logang@deltatee.com> +Description: + If the device has any Peer-to-Peer memory registered, this + file contains the total amount of memory that the device + provides (in decimal). + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../p2pmem/available +Date: November 2017 +Contact: Logan Gunthorpe <logang@deltatee.com> +Description: + If the device has any Peer-to-Peer memory registered, this + file contains the amount of memory that has not been + allocated (in decimal). + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../p2pmem/published +Date: November 2017 +Contact: Logan Gunthorpe <logang@deltatee.com> +Description: + If the device has any Peer-to-Peer memory registered, this + file contains a '1' if the memory has been published for + use outside the driver that owns the device. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/clkpm + /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/l0s_aspm + /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/l1_aspm + /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/l1_1_aspm + /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/l1_2_aspm + /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/l1_1_pcipm + /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../link/l1_2_pcipm +Date: October 2019 +Contact: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> +Description: If ASPM is supported for an endpoint, these files can be + used to disable or enable the individual power management + states. Write y/1/on to enable, n/0/off to disable. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../power_state +Date: November 2020 +Contact: Linux PCI developers <linux-pci@vger.kernel.org> +Description: + This file contains the current PCI power state of the device. + The value comes from the PCI kernel device state and can be one + of: "unknown", "error", "D0", D1", "D2", "D3hot", "D3cold". + The file is read only. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_vf_total_msix +Date: January 2021 +Contact: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com> +Description: + This file is associated with a SR-IOV physical function (PF). + It contains the total number of MSI-X vectors available for + assignment to all virtual functions (VFs) associated with PF. + The value will be zero if the device doesn't support this + functionality. For supported devices, the value will be + constant and won't be changed after MSI-X vectors assignment. + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_vf_msix_count +Date: January 2021 +Contact: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com> +Description: + This file is associated with a SR-IOV virtual function (VF). + It allows configuration of the number of MSI-X vectors for + the VF. This allows devices that have a global pool of MSI-X + vectors to optimally divide them between VFs based on VF usage. + + The values accepted are: + * > 0 - this number will be reported as the Table Size in the + VF's MSI-X capability + * < 0 - not valid + * = 0 - will reset to the device default value + + The file is writable if the PF is bound to a driver that + implements ->sriov_set_msix_vec_count(). + +What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../resourceN_resize +Date: September 2022 +Contact: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> +Description: + These files provide an interface to PCIe Resizable BAR support. + A file is created for each BAR resource (N) supported by the + PCIe Resizable BAR extended capability of the device. Reading + each file exposes the bitmap of available resource sizes: + + # cat resource1_resize + 00000000000001c0 + + The bitmap represents supported resource sizes for the BAR, + where bit0 = 1MB, bit1 = 2MB, bit2 = 4MB, etc. In the above + example the device supports 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB BAR sizes. + + When writing the file, the user provides the bit position of + the desired resource size, for example: + + # echo 7 > resource1_resize + + This indicates to set the size value corresponding to bit 7, + 128MB. The resulting size is 2 ^ (bit# + 20). This definition + matches the PCIe specification of this capability. + + In order to make use of resource resizing, all PCI drivers must + be unbound from the device and peer devices under the same + parent bridge may need to be soft removed. In the case of + VGA devices, writing a resize value will remove low level + console drivers from the device. Raw users of pci-sysfs + resourceN attributes must be terminated prior to resizing. + Success of the resizing operation is not guaranteed. |
