PCI BAR sysfs node permissions

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

 



need help figuring out how to make this happen. If my pci driver is
instructed to open a pci device, I want to change the mode of bar0's
sysfs node to o+rw so a user app can mmap it.

In other words, from the driver, perform this:
chmod 766 /sys/bus/pci/[slot path]/resource0
preferably without a lecture on why I shouldn't .. ;-)

If I chmod that sysfs node for bar0 as root, i can run a user process
(as regular user) that does an mmap of that and can do reads/writes to
the bar resource. I would like for my pci driver to do this
automatically when it is told to open a device.

Please help!
