linux.git/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-devlink, branch v5.9 Linux kernel source tree driver core: Change delimiter in devlink device's name to "--" 2020-07-24T18:55:25+00:00 Saravana Kannan saravanak@google.com 2020-07-24T18:05:22+00:00 90b109d50da09ddaa179732c01ccba7f759c125d 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.

driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs 2020-07-10T13:24:56+00:00 Saravana Kannan saravanak@google.com 2020-05-21T19:17:58+00:00 287905e68dd29873bcb7986a8290cd1e4cfde600 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 <saravanak@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200521191800.136035-2-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> 
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:*
