  2Date:		June 2022
  3KernelVersion:	6.0
  4Contact:	qat-linux@intel.com
  5Description:	(RW) Reports the current state of the QAT device. Write to
  6		the file to start or stop the device.
  7
  8		The values are:
  9
 10		* up: the device is up and running
 11		* down: the device is down
 12
 13
 14		It is possible to transition the device from up to down only
 15		if the device is up and vice versa.
 16
 17		This attribute is only available for qat_4xxx devices.

 23Description:	(RW) Reports the current configuration of the QAT device.
 24		Write to the file to change the configured services.
 25
 26		The values are:
 27
 28		* sym;asym: the device is configured for running crypto
 29		  services
 30		* asym;sym: identical to sym;asym
 31		* dc: the device is configured for running compression services
 32		* dcc: identical to dc but enables the dc chaining feature,
 33		  hash then compression. If this is not required chose dc
 34		* sym: the device is configured for running symmetric crypto
 35		  services
 36		* asym: the device is configured for running asymmetric crypto
 37		  services
 38		* asym;dc: the device is configured for running asymmetric
 39		  crypto services and compression services
 40		* dc;asym: identical to asym;dc
 41		* sym;dc: the device is configured for running symmetric crypto
 42		  services and compression services
 43		* dc;sym: identical to sym;dc
 44
 45		It is possible to set the configuration only if the device
 46		is in the `down` state (see /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state)
 47
 48		The following example shows how to change the configuration of
 49		a device configured for running crypto services in order to
 50		run data compression::
 51
 52			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
 53			up
 54			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/cfg_services
 55			sym;asym
 56			# echo down > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
 57			# echo dc > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/cfg_services
 58			# echo up > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
 59			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/cfg_services
 60			dc

 64What:		/sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/pm_idle_enabled
 65Date:		June 2023
 66KernelVersion:	6.5
 67Contact:	qat-linux@intel.com
 68Description:	(RW) This configuration option provides a way to force the device into remaining in
 69		the MAX power state.
 70		If idle support is enabled the device will transition to the `MIN` power state when
 71		idle, otherwise will stay in the MAX power state.
 72		Write to the file to enable or disable idle support.
 73
 74		The values are:
 75
 76		* 0: idle support is disabled
 77		* 1: idle support is enabled
 78
 79		Default value is 1.
 80
 81		It is possible to set the pm_idle_enabled value only if the device
 82		is in the `down` state (see /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state)
 83
 84		The following example shows how to change the pm_idle_enabled of
 85		a device::
 86
 87			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
 88			up
 89			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/pm_idle_enabled
 90			1
 91			# echo down > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
 92			# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/pm_idle_enabled
 93			# echo up > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
 94			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/pm_idle_enabled
 95			0

101KernelVersion:	6.7
102Contact:	qat-linux@intel.com
103Description:
104		(RW) This attribute provides a way for a user to query a
105		specific ring pair for the type of service that it is currently
106		configured for.
107
108		When written to, the value is cached and used to perform the
109		read operation. Allowed values are in the range 0 to N-1, where
110		N is the max number of ring pairs supported by a device. This
111		can be queried using the attribute qat/num_rps.
112
113		A read returns the service associated to the ring pair queried.
114
115		The values are:
116
117		* dc: the ring pair is configured for running compression services
118		* sym: the ring pair is configured for running symmetric crypto
119		  services
120		* asym: the ring pair is configured for running asymmetric crypto
121		  services
122
123		Example usage::
124
125			# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/rp2srv
126			# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/rp2srv
127			sym

135Description:
136		(RO) Returns the number of ring pairs that a single device has.

149Description:	(RW) Reports the current state of the autoreset feature
150		for a QAT device
151
152		Write to the attribute to enable or disable device auto reset.
153
154		Device auto reset is disabled by default.
155
156		The values are:
157
158		* 1/Yy/on: auto reset enabled. If the device encounters an
159		  unrecoverable error, it will be reset automatically.
160		* 0/Nn/off: auto reset disabled. If the device encounters an
161		  unrecoverable error, it will not be reset.
162
163		This attribute is only available for qat_4xxx devices.
