linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
|
Description: Contains the PIM/PAM/POM values, as reported by the
|
channel subsystem when last queried by the common I/O
|
layer (this implies that this attribute is not necessarily
|
in sync with the values current in the channel subsystem).

|
Description: This file allows the driver for a device to be specified. 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 vfio-ccw > 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.
|
|
Note that unlike the mechanism of the same name for pci, this
|
file does not allow to override basic matching rules. I.e.,
|
the driver must still match the subchannel type of the device.
