iommu_debugfs_setup(9)
β¨ iommu_debugfs_setup π
okay so bestie, welcome to the iommu_debugfs_setup(9) page β it's from the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly a little one-function wonder, so let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
iommu_debugfs_setup β literally just creates the top-level iommu directory in debugfs, that's the whole job π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void iommu_debugfs_setup (void );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
voidβ no arguments, bestie. zero. none. it takes nothing and it slays π
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the vibe: this function gives you the base enablement for using debugfs to expose internal data of an IOMMU driver. When you call it, it creates the /sys/kernel/debug/iommu directory β that's it, that's the moment β¨
Also, and this is important, it will emit a strong warning at boot time to indicate that this feature is enabled. So yeah, expect to be loudly informed π
This function is called from iommu_init. After that, drivers may then use iommu_debugfs_dir to instantiate a vendor-specific directory, and that's the one they use to expose internal data. iykyk π§
