ap_config:
|
||||||
|
A read/write file that, when written to, allows all three of the
|
||||||
|
vfio_ap mediated device's ap matrix masks to be replaced in one shot.
|
||||||
|
Three masks are given, one for adapters, one for domains, and one for
|
||||||
|
control domains. If the given state cannot be set then no changes are
|
||||||
|
made to the vfio-ap mediated device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The format of the data written to ap_config is as follows:
|
||||||
|
{amask},{dmask},{cmask}\n
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\n is a newline character.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
amask, dmask, and cmask are masks identifying which adapters, domains,
|
||||||
|
and control domains should be assigned to the mediated device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The format of a mask is as follows:
|
||||||
|
0xNN..NN
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Where NN..NN is 64 hexadecimal characters representing a 256-bit value.
|
||||||
|
The leftmost (highest order) bit represents adapter/domain 0.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For an example set of masks that represent your mdev's current
|
||||||
|
configuration, simply cat ap_config.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Setting an adapter or domain number greater than the maximum allowed for
|
||||||
|
the system will result in an error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This attribute is intended to be used by automation. End users would be
|
||||||
|
better served using the respective assign/unassign attributes for
|
||||||
|
adapters, domains, and control domains.
