- What: /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/.../driver_override
- Date: August 2019
- Contact: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>
- Description:
- This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
- will override standard static and dynamic ID matching. When
- specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
- to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
- device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
- driver_override file (echo uio_hv_generic > driver_override) and
- may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
- This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
- Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
- device from its current driver or make any attempt to
- automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
- matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
- will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
- opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
- "none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
- there is no support for parsing delimiters.
