What: /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/.../driver_override Date: August 2019 Contact: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.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 uio_hv_generic > 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. |
