What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../bind
Date: December 2003
Contact: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device location to this file will cause
the driver to attempt to bind to the device found at
this location. This is useful for overriding default
bindings. The format for the location is: DDDD:BB:DD.F.
That is Domain:Bus:Device.Function and is the same as
found in /sys/bus/pci/devices/. For example:
# echo 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/bind
(Note: kernels before 2.6.28 may require echo -n).
What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../unbind
Date: December 2003
Contact: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device location to this file will cause the
driver to attempt to unbind from the device found at
this location. This may be useful when overriding default
bindings. The format for the location is: DDDD:BB:DD.F.
That is Domain:Bus:Device.Function and is the same as
found in /sys/bus/pci/devices/. For example:
# echo 0000:00:19.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/unbind
(Note: kernels before 2.6.28 may require echo -n).
What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../new_id
Date: December 2003
Contact: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
dynamically add a new device ID to a PCI device driver.
This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM PPPP. That is Vendor ID,
Device ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID,
Class, Class Mask, and Private Driver Data. The Vendor ID
and Device ID fields are required, the rest are optional.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/new_id
What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.../remove_id
Date: February 2009
Contact: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
The format for the device ID is:
VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM. That is Vendor ID, Device
ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, Class,
and Class Mask. The Vendor ID and Device ID fields are
required, the rest are optional. After successfully
removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
match the driver to the device. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/remove_id
What: /sys/bus/pci/rescan
Date: January 2009
Contact: Linux PCI developers <linux-pci@vger.kernel.org>
Description:
Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will
force a rescan of all PCI buses in the system, and
re-discover previously removed devices.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../msi_bus
Date: September 2014
Contact: Linux PCI developers <linux-pci@vger.kernel.org>
Description:
Writing a zero value to this attribute disallows MSI and
MSI-X for any future drivers of the device. If the device
is a bridge, MSI and MSI-X will be disallowed for future
drivers of all child devices under the bridge. Drivers
must be reloaded for the new setting to take effect.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../msi_irqs/
Date: September, 2011
Contact: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../msi_irqs directory contains a variable set
of files, with each file being named after a corresponding msi
irq vector allocated to that device.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../msi_irqs/<N>
Date: September 2011
Contact: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>

Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will
force a rescan of the bus and all child buses,
and re-discover devices removed earlier from this
part of the device tree.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
Date: January 2009
Contact: Linux PCI developers <linux-pci@vger.kernel.org>
Description:
Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will
force a rescan of the device's parent bus and all
child buses, and re-discover devices removed earlier
from this part of the device tree.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../reset
Date: July 2009
Contact: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
Description:
Some devices allow an individual function to be reset
without affecting other functions in the same device.
For devices that have this support, a file named reset
will be present in sysfs. Writing 1 to this file
will perform reset.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../vpd
Date: February 2008
Contact: Ben Hutchings <bwh@kernel.org>
Description:
A file named vpd in a device directory will be a
binary file containing the Vital Product Data for the
device. It should follow the VPD format defined in
PCI Specification 2.1 or 2.2, but users should consider
that some devices may have malformatted data. If the
underlying VPD has a writable section then the
corresponding section of this file will be writable.

Description:
Reading this attribute will provide the firmware
given name (SMBIOS type 41 string or ACPI _DSM string) of
the PCI device. The attribute will be created only
if the firmware has given a name to the PCI device.
ACPI _DSM string name will be given priority if the
system firmware provides SMBIOS type 41 string also.
Users:
Userspace applications interested in knowing the
firmware assigned name of the PCI device.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../index
Date: July 2010
Contact: Narendra K <narendra_k@dell.com>, linux-bugs@dell.com

What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../d3cold_allowed
Date: July 2012
Contact: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>
Description:
d3cold_allowed is bit to control whether the corresponding PCI
device can be put into D3Cold state. If it is cleared, the
device will never be put into D3Cold state. If it is set, the
device may be put into D3Cold state if other requirements are
satisfied too. Reading this attribute will show the current
value of d3cold_allowed bit. Writing this attribute will set
the value of d3cold_allowed bit.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_totalvfs
Date: November 2012
Contact: Donald Dutile <ddutile@redhat.com>
Description:
This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV.
Userspace applications can read this file to determine the
maximum number of Virtual Functions (VFs) a PCIe physical
function (PF) can support. Typically, this is the value reported
in the PF's SR-IOV extended capability structure's TotalVFs
element. Drivers have the ability at probe time to reduce the
value read from this file via the pci_sriov_set_totalvfs()
function.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_numvfs
Date: November 2012
Contact: Donald Dutile <ddutile@redhat.com>
Description:
This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV.
Userspace applications can read and write to this file to
determine and control the enablement or disablement of Virtual
Functions (VFs) on the physical function (PF). A read of this
file will return the number of VFs that are enabled on this PF.
A number written to this file will enable the specified
number of VFs. A userspace application would typically read the
file and check that the value is zero, and then write the number
of VFs that should be enabled on the PF; the value written
should be less than or equal to the value in the sriov_totalvfs
file. A userspace application wanting to disable the VFs would
write a zero to this file. The core ensures that valid values
are written to this file, and returns errors when values are not
valid. For example, writing a 2 to this file when sriov_numvfs
is not 0 and not 2 already will return an error. Writing a 10
when the value of sriov_totalvfs is 8 will return an error.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../driver_override
Date: April 2014
Contact: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
Description:
This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
will override standard static and dynamic ID matching. When
specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
driver_override file (echo pci-stub > driver_override) and
may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
device from its current driver or make any attempt to
automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
"none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
there is no support for parsing delimiters.
