256 | What: fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ | ||
257 | When: 2011 | ||
258 | Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to | ||
259 | represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics | ||
260 | had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed | ||
261 | drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required | ||
262 | for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's | ||
263 | tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that | ||
264 | there were some users of the fakephp interface. | ||
265 | |||
266 | In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same | ||
267 | time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely | ||
268 | function-level hot-remove and hot-add. | ||
269 | |||
270 | Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in: | ||
271 | |||
272 | /sys/bus/pci/rescan | ||
273 | /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove | ||
274 | /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan | ||
275 | |||
276 | there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well. | ||
277 | |||
278 | We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will | ||
279 | present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility, | ||
280 | but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above. | ||
281 | |||
282 | After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy | ||
283 | fakephp interface. | ||
