Dcoumentation has been added by parsing through git commit history and reading code. This might be useful for scripting and tracking changes in the ABI. I do not have complete descriptions for the following 3 attributes; they have been annotated with the comment [to be documented] - /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/ahci_port_cmd /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/ahci_host_caps /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/ahci_host_cap2 Signed-off-by: Aishwarya Pant <aishpant@xxxxxxxxx> --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device | 58 ++++++++++++++++ Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-scsi_host | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 147 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..82ef6eab042d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ +What: /sys/block/*/device/sw_activity +Date: Jun, 2008 +KernelVersion: v2.6.27 +Contact: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +Description: + (RW) Used by drivers which support software controlled activity + LEDs. + + It has the following valid values: + + 0 OFF - the LED is not activated on activity + 1 BLINK_ON - the LED blinks on every 10ms when activity is + detected. + 2 BLINK_OFF - the LED is on when idle, and blinks off + every 10ms when activity is detected. + + Note that the user must turn sw_activity OFF it they wish to + control the activity LED via the em_message file. + + +What: /sys/block/*/device/unload_heads +Date: Sep, 2008 +KernelVersion: v2.6.28 +Contact: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +Description: + (RW) Hard disk shock protection + + Writing an integer value to this file will take the heads of the + respective drive off the platter and block all I/O operations + for the specified number of milliseconds. + + - If the device does not support the unload heads feature, + access is denied with -EOPNOTSUPP. + - The maximal value accepted for a timeout is 30000 + milliseconds. + - A previously set timeout can be cancelled and disk can resume + normal operation immediately by specifying a timeout of 0. + - Some hard drives only comply with an earlier version of the + ATA standard, but support the unload feature nonetheless. + There is no safe way Linux can detect these devices, so this + is not enabled by default.
