1What:		/sys/class/ata_...
2Description:
3		Provide a place in sysfs for storing the ATA topology of the
4		system. This allows retrieving various information about ATA
5		objects.

7Files under /sys/class/ata_port
8-------------------------------
9
10For each port, a directory ataX is created where X is the ata_port_id of the
11port. The device parent is the ata host device.

19Description:
20		nr_pmp_links:	(RO) If a SATA Port Multiplier (PM) is
21				connected, the number of links behind it.
22
23		idle_irq:	(RO) Number of IRQ received by the port while
24				idle [some ata HBA only].

31Description:
32		(RO) Host local port number. While registering host controller,
33		port numbers are tracked based upon number of ports available on
34		the controller. This attribute is needed by udev for composing
35		persistent links in /dev/disk/by-path.

38-------------------------------
39
40Behind each port, there is a ata_link. If there is a SATA PM in the topology, 15
41ata_link objects are created.
42
43If a link is behind a port, the directory name is linkX, where X is ata_port_id
44of the port. If a link is behind a PM, its name is linkX.Y where X is
45ata_port_id of the parent port and Y the PM port.

54Description:
55		hw_sata_spd_limit:	(RO) Maximum speed supported by the
56					connected SATA device.
57
58		sata_spd_limit:		(RO) Maximum speed imposed by libata.
59
60		sata_spd:		(RO) Current speed of the link
61					eg. 1.5, 3 Gbps etc.
62
63
64Files under /sys/class/ata_device
65---------------------------------
66
67Behind each link, up to two ata devices are created.
68The name of the directory is devX[.Y].Z where:
69- X is ata_port_id of the port where the device is connected,
70- Y the port of the PM if any, and
71- Z the device id: for PATA, there is usually 2 devices [0,1], only 1 for SATA.

87				speed of link due to errors.
88
