+Bus Types
+=========
+
+Definition
+~~~~~~~~~~
+See the kerneldoc for the struct bus_type.
+
+int bus_register(struct bus_type * bus);
+
+
+Declaration
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each bus type in the kernel (PCI, USB, etc) should declare one static
+object of this type. They must initialize the name field, and may
+optionally initialize the match callback::
+
+ struct bus_type pci_bus_type = {
+ .name = "pci",
+ .match = pci_bus_match,
+ };
+
+The structure should be exported to drivers in a header file:
+
+extern struct bus_type pci_bus_type;
+
+
+Registration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When a bus driver is initialized, it calls bus_register. This
+initializes the rest of the fields in the bus object and inserts it
+into a global list of bus types. Once the bus object is registered,
+the fields in it are usable by the bus driver.
+
+
+Callbacks
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+match(): Attaching Drivers to Devices
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The format of device ID structures and the semantics for comparing
+them are inherently bus-specific. Drivers typically declare an array
+of device IDs of devices they support that reside in a bus-specific
+driver structure.
+
+The purpose of the match callback is to give the bus an opportunity to
+determine if a particular driver supports a particular device by
+comparing the device IDs the driver supports with the device ID of a
+particular device, without sacrificing bus-specific functionality or
+type-safety.
+
+When a driver is registered with the bus, the bus's list of devices is
+iterated over, and the match callback is called for each device that
+does not have a driver associated with it.
+
+
+
+Device and Driver Lists
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The lists of devices and drivers are intended to replace the local
+lists that many buses keep. They are lists of struct devices and
+struct device_drivers, respectively. Bus drivers are free to use the
+lists as they please, but conversion to the bus-specific type may be
+necessary.
+
+The LDM core provides helper functions for iterating over each list::
+
+ int bus_for_each_dev(struct bus_type * bus, struct device * start,
+ void * data,
+ int (*fn)(struct device *, void *));
+
+ int bus_for_each_drv(struct bus_type * bus, struct device_driver * start,
+ void * data, int (*fn)(struct device_driver *, void *));
+
+These helpers iterate over the respective list, and call the callback
+for each device or driver in the list. All list accesses are
+synchronized by taking the bus's lock (read currently). The reference
+count on each object in the list is incremented before the callback is
+called; it is decremented after the next object has been obtained. The
+lock is not held when calling the callback.
+
+
+sysfs
+~~~~~~~~
+There is a top-level directory named 'bus'.
+
+Each bus gets a directory in the bus directory, along with two default
+directories::
+
+ /sys/bus/pci/
+ |-- devices
+ `-- drivers
+
+Drivers registered with the bus get a directory in the bus's drivers
+directory::
+
+ /sys/bus/pci/
+ |-- devices
+ `-- drivers
+ |-- Intel ICH
+ |-- Intel ICH Joystick
+ |-- agpgart
+ `-- e100
+
+Each device that is discovered on a bus of that type gets a symlink in
+the bus's devices directory to the device's directory in the physical
+hierarchy::
+
+ /sys/bus/pci/
+ |-- devices
+ | |-- 00:00.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:00.0
+ | |-- 00:01.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:01.0
+ | `-- 00:02.0 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:02.0
+ `-- drivers
+
+
+Exporting Attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ struct bus_attribute {
+ struct attribute attr;
+ ssize_t (*show)(const struct bus_type *, char * buf);
+ ssize_t (*store)(const struct bus_type *, const char * buf, size_t count);
+ };
+
+Bus drivers can export attributes using the BUS_ATTR_RW macro that works
+similarly to the DEVICE_ATTR_RW macro for devices. For example, a
+definition like this::
+
+ static BUS_ATTR_RW(debug);
+
+is equivalent to declaring::
+
+ static bus_attribute bus_attr_debug;
+
+This can then be used to add and remove the attribute from the bus's
+sysfs directory using::
+
+ int bus_create_file(struct bus_type *, struct bus_attribute *);
+ void bus_remove_file(struct bus_type *, struct bus_attribute *);
