5Description: The FCoE bus. Attributes in this directory are control interfaces.
6Attributes:
7
8 ctlr_create: 'FCoE Controller' instance creation interface. Writing an
9 <ifname> to this file will allocate and populate sysfs with a
10 fcoe_ctlr_device (ctlr_X). The user can then configure any
11 per-port settings and finally write to the fcoe_ctlr_device's
12 'start' attribute to begin the kernel's discovery and login
13 process.
14
15 ctlr_destroy: 'FCoE Controller' instance removal interface. Writing a
16 fcoe_ctlr_device's sysfs name to this file will log the
17 fcoe_ctlr_device out of the fabric or otherwise connected
18 FCoE devices. It will also free all kernel memory allocated
19 for this fcoe_ctlr_device and any structures associated
20 with it, this includes the scsi_host.

5Description: 'FCoE Controller' instances on the fcoe bus 26Description: 'FCoE Controller' instances on the fcoe bus.
27 The FCoE Controller now has a three stage creation process.
28 1) Write interface name to ctlr_create 2) Configure the FCoE
29 Controller (ctlr_X) 3) Enable the FCoE Controller to begin
30 discovery and login. The FCoE Controller is destroyed by
31 writing it's name, i.e. ctlr_X to the ctlr_delete file.

39 mode: Display or change the FCoE Controller's mode. Possible
40 modes are 'Fabric' and 'VN2VN'. If a FCoE Controller
41 is started in 'Fabric' mode then FIP FCF discovery is
42 initiated and ultimately a fabric login is attempted.
43 If a FCoE Controller is started in 'VN2VN' mode then
44 FIP VN2VN discovery and login is performed. A FCoE
45 Controller only supports one mode at a time.
46
47 enabled: Whether an FCoE controller is enabled or disabled.
48 0 if disabled, 1 if enabled. Writing either 0 or 1
49 to this file will enable or disable the FCoE controller.
