The S/390 debug feature (s390dbf) generates views to hold various debug results in sysfs directories of the form:
Some views generated by the debug feature to hold various debug outputs.
* /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/pci_*/
For example:
- /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/pci_msg/sprintf
Messages from the processing of PCI events like machine check handling

Holds messages from the processing of PCI events, like machine check handling
and setting of global functionality, like UID checking.
The level of logging can be changed to be more or less verbose by piping to
/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/pci_*/level a number between 0 and 6; see the
documentation on the S/390 debug feature (Documentation/s390/s390dbf.rst)
for details.

Sysfs entries
=============
Specific entries, or entries specificities for zPCI functions.
Entries specific to zPCI functions and entries that hold zPCI information.
* /sys/bus/pci/slots/XXXXXXXX
The slot entries are setup using the FID (Function Identifier) of the
The slot entries are set up using the function identifier (FID) of the
PCI function.
- /sys/bus/pci/slots/XXXXXXXX/power
A physical function currently supporting virtual function can not be
powered-off until all virtual-function have been removed with
A physical function that currently supports a virtual function cannot be
powered off until all virtual functions are removed with:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/XXXX:XX:XX.X/sriov_numvf

- function_id
zPCI function identifier unique for the complete Z System.
It define uniquely a function in the system.
A zPCI function identifier that uniquely identifies the function in the Z server.
- function_handle
Low level identifier used for a configured PCI function.
It may be useful for debuging.
Low-level identifier used for a configured PCI function.
It might be useful for debuging.
- pchid
Model dependent location of the I/O adapter.
Model-dependent location of the I/O adapter.
- pfgid
PCI Function Group ID, functions sharing identical functionality
are using a common identifier.
A PCI group defines interrupts, IOMMU, IOTLB and DMA specifics.
PCI function group ID, functions that share identical functionality

A PCI group defines interrupts, IOMMU, IOTLB, and DMA specifics.
- vfn
The Virtual Function Number, from 1 to N for virtual functions.
The virtual function number, from 1 to N for virtual functions,
0 for physical functions.
- pft
PCI function type specifies the type of the PCI function.
The PCI function type
- port
The port correspond to the physical port the function is attached to.

The port corresponds to the physical port the function is attached to.
It also gives an indication of the physical function a virtual function
is attached to.
- uid
The UID, Unique Identifier is defined when configuring a LPAR and is
unique inside an LPAR.
The unique identifier (UID) is defined when configuring an LPAR and is
unique in the LPAR.
- pfip/segmentX
The segments are used to determine the isolation of a function.
They corresponds to the physical path to the function.
The more the segment are different the more the functions are isolated.
The segments determine the isolation of a function.
They correspond to the physical path to the function.
The more the segments are different, the more the functions are isolated.
Enumeration and hotplug
=======================
The PCI address is made of 4 parts: domain, bus, device and function,
like in DDDD:BB:dd.f
The PCI address consists of four parts: domain, bus, device and function,
and is of this form: DDDD:BB:dd.f
* When not using multi-functions (norid is set or firmware does not support
multi-functions)
* When not using multi-functions (norid is set, or the firmware does not
support multi-functions):
- There is only one function per domain.
- the domain is set from the zPCI function's UID as defined during the
- The domain is set from the zPCI function's UID as defined during the
LPAR creation.
- Addresses look like DDDD:00:00.0
* When using multi-functions (norid parameter is not set), there are some
change in the way zPCI functions are addressed:
* When using multi-functions (norid parameter is not set),
zPCI functions are addressed differently:
- There is still only one bus per domain.
- There can be up to 256 functions per bus.
- The domain part of the address of all functions of all functions for
- The domain part of the address of all functions for
a multi-Function device is set from the zPCI function's UID as defined
in the LPAR creation for the function zero.
- New functions will only be ready to be used after the function zero
- New functions will only be ready for use after the function zero
(the function with devfn 0) has been enumerated.
