20 Description: Contains the ids of the channel paths used by this
21 subchannel, as reported by the channel subsystem
22 during subchannel recognition.
24 Note: This is an I/O-subchannel specific attribute.

30 linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
31 Description: Contains the PIM/PAM/POM values, as reported by the
32 channel subsystem when last queried by the common I/O
33 layer (this implies that this attribute is not necessarily
34 in sync with the values current in the channel subsystem).
36 Note: This is an I/O-subchannel specific attribute.

39 What: /sys/bus/css/devices/.../driver_override
41 Contact: Cornelia Huck <cohuck@redhat.com>
42 linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
43 Description: This file allows the driver for a device to be specified. When
44 specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
45 to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
46 device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
47 driver_override file (echo vfio-ccw > driver_override) and
48 may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
49 This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
50 Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
51 device from its current driver or make any attempt to
52 automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
53 matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
54 will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
55 opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
56 "none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
57 there is no support for parsing delimiters.
59 Note that unlike the mechanism of the same name for pci, this
60 file does not allow to override basic matching rules. I.e.,
61 the driver must still match the subchannel type of the device.
