driver core: Fix device link device name collision

2021-01-21T19:12:40+00:00

The device link device's name was of the form: -- This can cause name collision as reported here [1] as device names are not globally unique. Since device names have to be unique within the bus/class, add the bus/class name as a prefix to the device names used to construct the device link device name. So the devuce link device's name will be of the form: :--: [1] - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201229033440.32142-1-michael@walle.cc/ Fixes: 287905e68dd2 ("driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Michael Walle Tested-by: Michael Walle Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210110175408.1465657-1-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents

2020-10-30T12:14:29+00:00

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script on its output result. Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

driver core: Change delimiter in devlink device's name to "--"

2020-07-24T18:55:25+00:00

The devlink device name is of the form "supplier:consumer". But ":" is fairly common in device names and makes it visually hard to distinguish supplier and consumer. So, replace it with "--" to make it easier. Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200724180523.1393383-1-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs

2020-07-10T13:24:56+00:00

It's helpful to be able to look at device link details from sysfs. So, expose it in sysfs. Say device-A is supplier of device-B. These are the additional files this patch would create: /sys/class/devlink/device-A:device-B/ auto_remove_on consumer/ -> .../device-B/ runtime_pm status supplier/ -> .../device-A/ sync_state_only /sys/devices/.../device-A/ consumer:device-B/ -> /sys/class/devlink/device-A:device-B/ /sys/devices/.../device-B/ supplier:device-A/ -> /sys/class/devlink/device-A:device-B/ That way: To get a list of all the device link in the system: ls /sys/class/devlink/ To get the consumer names and links of a device: ls -d /sys/devices/.../device-X/consumer:* To get the supplier names and links of a device: ls -d /sys/devices/.../device-X/supplier:* Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200521191800.136035-2-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
