The "config" sysfs attribute allows access to either the legacy (PCI and
PCI-X Mode 1) or the extended (PCI-X Mode 2 and PCIe) device configuration
space. Previously it was dynamically created either when a device was
added (for hot-added devices) or via a late_initcall (for devices present
at boot):
pci_bus_add_devices
pci_bus_add_device
pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
if (!sysfs_initialized)
return
sysfs_create_bin_file # for hot-added devices
pci_sysfs_init # late_initcall
sysfs_initialized = 1
for_each_pci_dev(pdev)
pci_create_sysfs_dev_files(pdev) # for devices present at boot
And dynamically removed when the PCI device is stopped and removed:
pci_stop_bus_device
pci_stop_dev
pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files
sysfs_remove_bin_file
This attribute does not need to be created or removed dynamically, so we
can use a static attribute so the device model takes care of addition and
removal automatically.
Convert "config" to a static attribute and use the .is_bin_visible()
callback to set the correct object size (either 256 bytes or 4 KiB) at
runtime.
The pci_sysfs_init() scheme was added in the pre-git era by

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
