Devlink Info
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The ``devlink-info`` mechanism enables device drivers to report device
|
|
information in a generic fashion. It is extensible, and enables exporting
|
|
even device or driver specific information.
|
|
|
|
devlink supports representing the following types of versions
|
|
|
|
.. list-table:: List of version types
|
|
:widths: 5 95
|
|
|
|
* - Type
|
|
- Description
|
|
* - ``fixed``
|
|
- Represents fixed versions, which cannot change. For example,
|
|
component identifiers or the board version reported in the PCI VPD.
|
|
* - ``running``
|
|
- Represents the version of the currently running component. For
|
|
example the running version of firmware. These versions generally
|
|
only update after a reboot.
|
|
* - ``stored``
|
|
- Represents the version of a component as stored, such as after a
|
|
flash update. Stored values should update to reflect changes in the
|
|
flash even if a reboot has not yet occurred.
|
|
|
|
Generic Versions
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
It is expected that drivers use the following generic names for exporting
|
|
version information. Other information may be exposed using driver-specific
|
|
names, but these should be documented in the driver-specific file.
|
|
|
|

|
