What:		/sys/devices/.../supplier:<supplier>
Date:		May 2020
Contact:	Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>
Description:
		The /sys/devices/.../supplier:<supplier> are symlinks to device
		links where this device is the consumer. <supplier> denotes the
		name of the supplier in that device link and is of the form
		bus:device name. There can be zero or more of these symlinks
		for a given device.
driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs 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> 2020-05-21 19:17:58 +00:00			`What: /sys/devices/.../supplier:<supplier>`

driver core: Fix device link device name collision 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/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 <michael@walle.cc> Tested-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210110175408.1465657-1-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> 2021-01-10 17:54:07 +00:00			`name of the supplier in that device link and is of the form`
