Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/5] ibmvnic: Include documentation for ibmvnic sysfs files
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 11:58:10 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1598893093-14280-3-git-send-email-tlfalcon@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1598893093-14280-1-git-send-email-tlfalcon@linux.ibm.com>
Include documentation for existing ibmvnic sysfs files,
currently only for "failover," which is used to swap
the active hardware port to a backup port in redundant
backing hardware or failover configurations.

+Description: If the ibmvnic device has been configured with redundant
+ physical NIC ports, the user may write "1" to the failover
+ file to trigger a device failover, which will reset the
+ ibmvnic device and swap to a backup physical port. If no
+ redundant physical port has been configured for the device,
+ the device will not reset and -EINVAL is returned. If anything
+ other than "1" is written to the file, -EINVAL will also be
+ returned.
+Users: Any users of the ibmvnic driver which use redundant hardware
+ configurations.
