==========
Introduce auxiliary bus IRQs sysfs
Today, PCI PFs and VFs, which are anchored on the PCI bus, display their
IRQ information in the <pci_device>/msi_irqs/<irq_num> sysfs files. PCI
subfunctions (SFs) are similar to PFs and VFs and these SFs are anchored
on the auxiliary bus. However, these PCI SFs lack such IRQ information
on the auxiliary bus, leaving users without visibility into which IRQs
are used by the SFs. This absence makes it impossible to debug
situations and to understand the source of interrupts/SFs for
performance tuning and debug.
Additionally, the SFs are multifunctional devices supporting RDMA,
network devices, clocks, and more, similar to their peer PCI PFs and
VFs. Therefore, it is desirable to have SFs' IRQ information available
at the bus/device level.
To overcome the above limitations, this short series extends the
auxiliary bus to display IRQ information in sysfs, similar to that of
PFs and VFs.
It adds an 'irqs' directory under the auxiliary device and includes an
<irq_num> sysfs file within it.
For example:
$ ls /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/mlx5_core.sf.1/irqs/
50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58
Patch summary:
patch-1 adds auxiliary bus to support irqs used by auxiliary device
patch-2 mlx5 driver using exposing irqs for PCI SF devices via auxiliary
bus

============
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 reStructuredText 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.
