[PATCH v2 7/7] PCI: Add parameter to disable attaching external devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Introduce a PCI parameter that disables the automatic attachment of
external devices to their drivers.

This is needed to allow an admin to control which drivers he wants to
allow on external ports. For more context, see threads at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20200609210400.GA1461839@bjorn-Precision-5520/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/CACK8Z6H-DZQYBMqtU5_H5TTwwn35Q7Yysm9a7Wj0twfQP8QBzA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

drivers_autoprobe can only be disabled after userspace comes up. So
any external devices that were plugged in before boot may still bind
to drivers before userspace gets a chance to clear drivers_autoprobe.
Another problem is that even with drivers_autoprobe=0, the hot-added
PCI devices are bound to drivers because PCI explicitly calls
device_attach() asking driver core to find and attach a driver. This
patch helps with both of these problems.
