Description:
|
This directory contains list of directories of currently
|
supported mediated device types and their details for
|
<device>. Supported type attributes are defined by the
|
vendor driver who registers with Mediated device framework.
|
Each supported type is a directory whose name is created
|
by adding the device driver string as a prefix to the
|
string provided by the vendor driver.

|
Description:
|
This directory gives details of supported type, like name,
|
description, available_instances, device_api etc.
|
'device_api' and 'available_instances' are mandatory
|
attributes to be provided by vendor driver. 'name',
|
'description' and other vendor driver specific attributes
|
are optional.

|
Description:
|
Writing UUID to this file will create mediated device of
|
type <type-id> for parent device <device>. This is a
|
write-only file.
|
For example::
|
|
# echo "83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001" > \
|
/sys/devices/foo/mdev_supported_types/foo-1/create

|
Description:
|
This directory contains symbolic links pointing to mdev
|
devices sysfs entries which are created of this <type-id>.
|

Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
|
Description:
|
Reading this attribute will show the number of mediated
|
devices of type <type-id> that can be created. This is a
|
readonly file.
|
Users:
|
Userspace applications interested in creating mediated
|
device of that type. Userspace application should check
|
the number of available instances could be created before
|
creating mediated device of this type.

|
Description:
|
Reading this attribute will show VFIO device API supported
|
by this type. For example, "vfio-pci" for a PCI device,
|
"vfio-platform" for platform device.
|
|
What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/name
|

Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
|
Description:
|
Reading this attribute will show human readable name of the
|
mediated device that will get created of type <type-id>.
|
This is optional attribute. For example: "Grid M60-0Q"
|
Users:
|
Userspace applications interested in knowing the name of
|
a particular <type-id> that can help in understanding the
|
type of mediated device.
|

Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
|
Description:
|
Reading this attribute will show description of the type of
|
mediated device that will get created of type <type-id>.
|
This is optional attribute. For example:
|
"2 heads, 512M FB, 2560x1600 maximum resolution"
|
Users:
|
Userspace applications interested in knowing the details of
|
a particular <type-id> that can help in understanding the
|
features provided by that type of mediated device.

Description:
|
This directory represents device directory of mediated
|
device. It contains all the attributes related to mediated
|
device.

Description:
|
This is symbolic link pointing to supported type, <type-id>
|
directory of which this mediated device is created.

What: /sys/.../<device>/<UUID>/remove
|
Date: October 2016
|
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
|
Description:
|
Writing '1' to this file destroys the mediated device. The
|
vendor driver can fail the remove() callback if that device
|
is active and the vendor driver doesn't support hot unplug.
|
Example::
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/mdev/devices/<UUID>/remove
|
