Yes, I think that would be useful. I might not be able to fill in the descriptions completely for all attributes but I can create a documentation skeleton for them.

It would be good, but I fear all the documentation files are variously out of date, so it would be harder to do this task reliably without having various rdma devices to inspect? But if you want to take it on, I could probably get you some sysfs dumps from some systems to help?

Documentation: infiniband: move sysfs interface to ABI
Hi In Documentation/infiniband/sysfs.txt, there is a description of the infiniband sysfs interface and there also exists Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-infiniband which is out of date. Would it be useful to move out the interface completely from Documentation/infiniband/sysfs.txt to the ABI? The ABI documentation format looks like the following: What: (the full sysfs path of the attribute) Date: (date of creation) KernelVersion: (kernel version it first showed up in) Contact: (primary contact) Description: (long description on usage) I am doing this in an exercise to move sysfs ABI interfaces (which are documented) to their right place i.e. in Documentation/ABI along with the rest.
