====================
Support for driver override on AP queues.
Add a new sysfs attribute driver_override the AP queue's directory. Writing
in a string overrides the default driver determination and the drivers are
matched against this string instead. This overrules the driver binding
determined by the apmask/aqmask bitmask fields. With the write to the
attribute a check is done if the queue is in use by an mdev device.
If this is true, the write is aborted and EBUSY is returned.
As there exists some tooling for this kind of driver_override
(see package driverctl) the AP bus behavior for re-binding
should be compatible to this. The steps for a driver_override are:
1) unbind the current driver from the device. For example
echo "17.0005" > /sys/devices/ap/card17/17.0005/driver/unbind
2) set the new driver for this device in the sysfs
driver_override attribute. For example
echo "vfio_ap" > /sys//devices/ap/card17/17.0005/driver_override
3) trigger a bus reprobe of this device. For example
echo "17.0005" > /sys/bus/ap/drivers_probe
With the driverctl package this is more comfortable and
the settings get persisted:
driverctl -b ap set-override 17.0005 vfio_ap
and unset with
driverctl -b ap unset-override 17.0005

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
