+Description:
+ These files provide an interface to PCIe Resizable BAR support.
+ A file is created for each BAR resource (N) supported by the
+ PCIe Resizable BAR extended capability of the device. Reading
+ each file exposes the bitmap of available resource sizes:
+
+ # cat resource1_resize
+ 00000000000001c0
+
+ The bitmap represents supported resource sizes for the BAR,
+ where bit0 = 1MB, bit1 = 2MB, bit2 = 4MB, etc. In the above
+ example the device supports 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB BAR sizes.
+
+ When writing the file, the user provides the bit position of
+ the desired resource size, for example:
+
+ # echo 7 > resource1_resize
+
+ This indicates to set the size value corresponding to bit 7,
+ 128MB. The resulting size is 2 ^ (bit# + 20). This definition
+ matches the PCIe specification of this capability.
+
+ In order to make use of resource resizing, all PCI drivers must
+ be unbound from the device and peer devices under the same
+ parent bridge may need to be soft removed. In the case of
+ VGA devices, writing a resize value will remove low level
+ console drivers from the device. Raw users of pci-sysfs
+ resourceN attributes must be terminated prior to resizing.
+ Success of the resizing operation is not guaranteed.

+Date: August 2024
+KernelVersion: 6.12
+Description:
+ LED indications on PCIe storage enclosures which are controlled
+ through the NPEM interface (Native PCIe Enclosure Management,
+ PCIe r6.1 sec 6.28) are accessible as led class devices, both
+ below /sys/class/leds and below NPEM-capable PCI devices.
+
+ Although these led class devices could be manipulated manually,
+ in practice they are typically manipulated automatically by an
+ application such as ledmon(8).
+
+ The name of a led class device is as follows:
+ <bdf>:enclosure:<indication>
+ where:
+
+ - <bdf> is the domain, bus, device and function number
+ (e.g. 10000:02:05.0)
+ - <indication> is a short description of the LED indication
+
+ Valid indications per PCIe r6.1 table 6-27 are:
+
+ - ok (drive is functioning normally)
+ - locate (drive is being identified by an admin)
+ - fail (drive is not functioning properly)
+ - rebuild (drive is part of an array that is rebuilding)
+ - pfa (drive is predicted to fail soon)
+ - hotspare (drive is marked to be used as a replacement)
+ - ica (drive is part of an array that is degraded)
+ - ifa (drive is part of an array that is failed)
+ - idt (drive is not the right type for the connector)
+ - disabled (drive is disabled, removal is safe)
+ - specific0 to specific7 (enclosure-specific indications)
+
+ Broadly, the indications fall into one of these categories:
+
+ - to signify drive state (ok, locate, fail, idt, disabled)
+ - to signify drive role or state in a software RAID array
+ (rebuild, pfa, hotspare, ica, ifa)
+ - to signify any other role or state (specific0 to specific7)
+
+ Mandatory indications per PCIe r6.1 sec 7.9.19.2 comprise:
+ ok, locate, fail, rebuild. All others are optional.
+ A led class device is only visible if the corresponding
+ indication is supported by the device.
+
+ To manipulate the indications, write 0 (LED_OFF) or 1 (LED_ON)
+ to the "brightness" file. Note that manipulating an indication
+ may implicitly manipulate other indications at the vendor's
+ discretion. E.g. when the user lights up the "ok" indication,
+ the vendor may choose to automatically turn off the "fail"
+ indication. The current state of an indication can be
+ retrieved by reading its "brightness" file.
+
+ The PCIe Base Specification allows vendors leeway to choose
+ different colors or blinking patterns for the indications,
+ but they typically follow the IBPI standard. E.g. the "locate"
+ indication is usually presented as one or two LEDs blinking at
+ 4 Hz frequency:
+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Blinking_Pattern_Interpretation
+
+ PCI Firmware Specification r3.3 sec 4.7 defines a DSM interface
+ to facilitate shared access by operating system and platform
+ firmware to a device's NPEM registers. The kernel will use
+ this DSM interface where available, instead of accessing NPEM
+ registers directly. The DSM interface does not support the
+ enclosure-specific indications "specific0" to "specific7",
+ hence the corresponding led class devices are unavailable if
+ the DSM interface is used.

+Description:
+ This directory contains a list of the supported Data Object
+ Exchange (DOE) features. The features are the file name.
+ The contents of each file is the raw Vendor ID and data
+ object feature values.
+
+ The value comes from the device and specifies the vendor and
+ data object type supported. The lower (RHS of the colon) is
+ the data object type in hex. The upper (LHS of the colon)
+ is the vendor ID.
+
+ As all DOE devices must support the DOE discovery feature,
+ if DOE is supported you will at least see the doe_discovery
+ file, with this contents:
+
+ # cat doe_features/doe_discovery
+ 0001:00
+
+ If the device supports other features you will see other
+ files as well. For example if CMA/SPDM and secure CMA/SPDM
+ are supported the doe_features directory will look like
+ this:
+
+ # ls doe_features
+ 0001:01 0001:02 doe_discovery
