The override is specified by writing a string + to the driver_override file (echo vfio-platform > \ + 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. diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl b/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl index cc63f30de16..dd3f278faa8 100644 --- a/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl @@ -128,8 +128,12 @@ X!Edrivers/base/interface.c !Edrivers/base/bus.c </sect1> <sect1><title>Device Drivers DMA Management</title> -!Edrivers/base/dma-buf.c -!Edrivers/base/reservation.c +!Edrivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c +!Edrivers/dma-buf/fence.c +!Edrivers/dma-buf/seqno-fence.c +!Iinclude/linux/fence.h +!Iinclude/linux/seqno-fence.h +!Edrivers/dma-buf/reservation.c !Iinclude/linux/reservation.h !Edrivers/base/dma-coherent.c !Edrivers/base/dma-mapping.c diff --git a/Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt b/Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt index 1525e30483f..d14710b0443 100644 --- a/Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt +++ b/Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt @@ -233,66 +233,78 @@ certainly invest a bit more effort into libata core layer). 6.
