1What: /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/.../driver_override2Date: August 20193Contact: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>4Description:5 This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which6 will override standard static and dynamic ID matching. When7 specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written8 to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the9 device. The override is specified by writing a string to the10 driver_override file (echo uio_hv_generic > driver_override) and11 may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).12 This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.13 Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the14 device from its current driver or make any attempt to15 automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a16 matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device17 will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to18 opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as19 "none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,20 there is no support for parsing delimiters.21 22
