Annotated Snippet
The cxl driver was removed in 6.15.
Please note that attributes that are shared between devices are stored in
the directory pointed to by the symlink device/.
For example, the real path of the attribute /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0s/irqs_max is
/sys/class/cxl/afu0.0s/device/irqs_max, i.e. /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/irqs_max.
Slave contexts (eg. /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0s):

Description: read only
AFU Error Buffer contents. The contents of this file are
application specific and depends on the AFU being used.
Applications interacting with the AFU can use this attribute
to know about the current error condition and take appropriate
action like logging the event etc.
What: /sys/class/cxl/<afu>/irqs_max
Date: September 2014, removed February 2025
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: read/write
Decimal value of maximum number of interrupts that can be
requested by userspace. The default on probe is the maximum
that hardware can support (eg. 2037). Write values will limit
userspace applications to that many userspace interrupts. Must
be >= irqs_min.

What: /sys/class/cxl/<afu>/irqs_min
Date: September 2014, removed February 2025
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: read only
Decimal value of the minimum number of interrupts that
userspace must request on a CXL_START_WORK ioctl. Userspace may
omit the num_interrupts field in the START_WORK IOCTL to get
this minimum automatically.

What: /sys/class/cxl/<afu>/mmio_size
Date: September 2014, removed February 2025
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: read only
Decimal value of the size of the MMIO space that may be mmapped
by userspace.

What: /sys/class/cxl/<afu>/modes_supported
Date: September 2014, removed February 2025
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: read only
List of the modes this AFU supports. One per line.
Valid entries are: "dedicated_process" and "afu_directed"

What: /sys/class/cxl/<afu>/mode
Date: September 2014, removed February 2025
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: read/write
The current mode the AFU is using. Will be one of the modes
given in modes_supported. Writing will change the mode
provided that no user contexts are attached.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
