MEMBERS
name
The name of the bus.
dev_name
Used for subsystems to enumerate devices like ("foou", dev->id).
dev_root
Default device to use as the parent.
bus_attrs
Default attributes of the bus.
dev_attrs
Default attributes of the devices on the bus.
drv_attrs
Default attributes of the device drivers on the bus.
match
Called, perhaps multiple times, whenever a new device or driver is
added for this bus. It should return a nonzero value if the given
device can be handled by the given driver.
uevent
Called when a device is added, removed, or a few other things that
generate uevents to add the environment variables.
probe
Called when a new device or driver add to this bus, and callback
the specific driver's probe to initial the matched device.
remove
Called when a device removed from this bus.
shutdown
Called at shut-down time to quiesce the device.
online
Called to put the device back online (after offlining it).
offline
Called to put the device offline for hot-removal. May fail.
suspend
Called when a device on this bus wants to go to sleep mode.
resume
Called to bring a device on this bus out of sleep mode.
pm
Power management operations of this bus, callback the specific
device driver's pm-ops.
iommu_ops
IOMMU specific operations for this bus, used to attach IOMMU driver
implementations to a bus and allow the driver to do bus-specific
setup
p
The private data of the driver core, only the driver core can touch
this.
lock_key
Lock class key for use by the lock validator
DESCRIPTION
A bus is a channel between the processor and one or more devices. For
the purposes of the device model, all devices are connected via a bus,
even if it is an internal, virtual, “platform” bus. Buses can plug into
each other. A USB controller is usually a PCI device, for example. The
device model represents the actual connections between buses and the
devices they control. A bus is represented by the bus_type structure.
It contains the name, the default attributes, the bus' methods, PM
operations, and the driver core's private data.
