2022-07-13 15:56:28 +07:00
* up: the device is up and running
* down: the device is down
2022-06-27 09:36:49 +01:00
It is possible to transition the device from up to down only
if the device is up and vice versa.
This attribute is only available for qat_4xxx devices.

Description: (RW) Reports the current configuration of the QAT device.
Write to the file to change the configured services.
The values are:
* sym;asym: the device is configured for running crypto
services
crypto: qat - extend configuration for 4xxx
A QAT GEN4 device can be currently configured for crypto (sym;asym) or
compression (dc).
This patch extends the configuration to support more variations of these
services, download the correct FW images on the device and report the
correct capabilities on the device based on the configured service.
The device can now be configured with the following services:
"sym", "asym", "dc", "sym;asym", "asym;sym", "sym;dc", "dc;sym",
"asym;dc", "dc;asym".
With this change, the configuration "sym", "asym", "sym;dc", "dc;sym",
"asym;dc", "dc;asym" will be accessible only via userspace, i.e. the driver
for those configurations will not register into the crypto framework.
Support for such configurations in kernel will be enabled in a later
patch.
The pairs "sym;asym" and "asym;sym" result in identical device config.
As do "sym;dc", "dc;sym", and "asym;dc", "dc;asym".

It is possible to set the configuration only if the device
is in the `down` state (see /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state)
The following example shows how to change the configuration of
a device configured for running crypto services in order to
