2021-01-21driver core: Fix device link device name collisionSaravana Kannan1-2/+2
The device link device's name was of the form: <supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-dev-name> 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: <supplier-bus-name>:<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-bus-name>:<consumer-dev-name> [1] - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ Fixes: 287905e68dd2 ("driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs") Cc: [email protected] Reported-by: Michael Walle <[email protected]> Tested-by: Michael Walle <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
2020-10-30docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documentsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-13/+17
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.

2020-07-24driver core: Change delimiter in devlink device's name to "--"Saravana Kannan1-1/+1
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 <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
2020-07-10driver core: Expose device link details in sysfsSaravana Kannan1-0/+126
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 <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
