Contact: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com>, devel@open-fcoe.org
Description: The FCoE bus. Attributes in this directory are control interfaces.
Attributes:
ctlr_create: 'FCoE Controller' instance creation interface. Writing an
<ifname> to this file will allocate and populate sysfs with a
fcoe_ctlr_device (ctlr_X). The user can then configure any
per-port settings and finally write to the fcoe_ctlr_device's
'start' attribute to begin the kernel's discovery and login
process.
ctlr_destroy: 'FCoE Controller' instance removal interface. Writing a
fcoe_ctlr_device's sysfs name to this file will log the
fcoe_ctlr_device out of the fabric or otherwise connected
FCoE devices. It will also free all kernel memory allocated
for this fcoe_ctlr_device and any structures associated
with it, this includes the scsi_host.

Description: 'FCoE Controller' instances on the fcoe bus.
The FCoE Controller now has a three stage creation process.
1) Write interface name to ctlr_create 2) Configure the FCoE
Controller (ctlr_X) 3) Enable the FCoE Controller to begin
discovery and login. The FCoE Controller is destroyed by
writing it's name, i.e. ctlr_X to the ctlr_delete file.
Attributes:
fcf_dev_loss_tmo: Device loss timeout peroid (see below). Changing
this value will change the dev_loss_tmo for all
FCFs discovered by this controller.
mode: Display or change the FCoE Controller's mode. Possible
modes are 'Fabric' and 'VN2VN'. If a FCoE Controller
is started in 'Fabric' mode then FIP FCF discovery is
initiated and ultimately a fabric login is attempted.
If a FCoE Controller is started in 'VN2VN' mode then
FIP VN2VN discovery and login is performed. A FCoE
Controller only supports one mode at a time.
enabled: Whether an FCoE controller is enabled or disabled.
0 if disabled, 1 if enabled. Writing either 0 or 1
to this file will enable or disable the FCoE controller.

<para>
Beside some lookup structures with their own locking (which is hidden
behind the interface functions) most of the modeset state is protected
by the <code>dev-&lt;mode_config.lock</code> mutex and additionally
per-crtc locks to allow cursor updates, pageflips and similar operations
to occur concurrently with background tasks like output detection.
Operations which cross domains like a full modeset always grab all
locks. Drivers there need to protect resources shared between crtcs with
additional locking. They also need to be careful to always grab the
relevant crtc locks if a modset functions touches crtc state, e.g. for
load detection (which does only grab the <code>mode_config.lock</code>
to allow concurrent screen updates on live crtcs).
