23 Description:    (RW) Reports the current configuration of the QAT device.
24                 Write to the file to change the configured services.
25
26                 The values are:
27
28                 * sym;asym: the device is configured for running crypto
29                   services
30                 * asym;sym: identical to sym;asym
31                 * dc: the device is configured for running compression services
32                 * dcc: identical to dc but enables the dc chaining feature,
33                   hash then compression. If this is not required chose dc
34                 * sym: the device is configured for running symmetric crypto
35                   services
36                 * asym: the device is configured for running asymmetric crypto
37                   services
38                 * asym;dc: the device is configured for running asymmetric
39                   crypto services and compression services
40                 * dc;asym: identical to asym;dc
41                 * sym;dc: the device is configured for running symmetric crypto
42                   services and compression services
43                 * dc;sym: identical to sym;dc
44
45                 It is possible to set the configuration only if the device
46                 is in the `down` state (see /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state)
47
48                 The following example shows how to change the configuration of
49                 a device configured for running crypto services in order to
50                 run data compression::
51
52                         # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
53                         up
54                         # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/cfg_services
55                         sym;asym
56                         # echo down > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
57                         # echo dc > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/cfg_services
58                         # echo up > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state

65 Date:           June 2023
66 KernelVersion:  6.5
67 Contact:        qat-linux@intel.com
68 Description:    (RW) This configuration option provides a way to force the device into remaining in
69                 the MAX power state.
70                 If idle support is enabled the device will transition to the `MIN` power state when
71                 idle, otherwise will stay in the MAX power state.
72                 Write to the file to enable or disable idle support.
73
74                 The values are:
75
76                 * 0: idle support is disabled
77                 * 1: idle support is enabled
78
79                 Default value is 1.
80
81                 It is possible to set the pm_idle_enabled value only if the device
82                 is in the `down` state (see /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state)
83
84                 The following example shows how to change the pm_idle_enabled of
85                 a device::
86
87                         # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
88                         up
89                         # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/pm_idle_enabled
90                         1
91                         # echo down > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state
92                         # echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/pm_idle_enabled
93                         # echo up > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/state

103 Description:
104                 (RW) This attribute provides a way for a user to query a
105                 specific ring pair for the type of service that it is currently
106                 configured for.
107
108                 When written to, the value is cached and used to perform the
109                 read operation. Allowed values are in the range 0 to N-1, where
110                 N is the max number of ring pairs supported by a device. This
111                 can be queried using the attribute qat/num_rps.
112
113                 A read returns the service associated to the ring pair queried.
114
115                 The values are:
116
117                 * dc: the ring pair is configured for running compression services
118                 * sym: the ring pair is configured for running symmetric crypto
119                   services
120                 * asym: the ring pair is configured for running asymmetric crypto
121                   services
122
123                 Example usage::
124
125                         # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/rp2srv
126                         # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat/rp2srv
