      1sysfs interface
      2---------------
      3The pktcdvd module (packet writing driver) creates the following files in the
      4sysfs: (<devid> is in the format major:minor)

     15		add		(WO) Write a block device id (major:minor) to
     16				create a new pktcdvd device and map it to the
     17				block device.
     18
     19		remove		(WO) Write the pktcdvd device id (major:minor)
     20				to remove the pktcdvd device.
     21
     22		device_map	(RO) Shows the device mapping in format:
     23				pktcdvd[0-7] <pktdevid> <blkdevid>

     69Description:
     70		==============	================================================
     71		size		(RO) Contains the size of the bio write queue.
     72
     73		congestion_off	(RW) If bio write queue size is below this mark,
     74				accept new bio requests from the block layer.
     75
     76		congestion_on	(RW) If bio write queue size is higher as this
     77				mark, do no longer accept bio write requests
     78				from the block layer and wait till the pktcdvd
     79				device has processed enough bio's so that bio
     80				write queue size is below congestion off mark.
     81				A value of <= 0 disables congestion control.

     85Example:
     86--------
     87To use the pktcdvd sysfs interface directly, you can do::
     88
     89    # create a new pktcdvd device mapped to /dev/hdc
     90    echo "22:0" >/sys/class/pktcdvd/add
     91    cat /sys/class/pktcdvd/device_map
     92    # assuming device pktcdvd0 was created, look at stat's
     93    cat /sys/class/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0/stat/kb_written
     94    # print the device id of the mapped block device
     95    fgrep pktcdvd0 /sys/class/pktcdvd/device_map
     96    # remove device, using pktcdvd0 device id   253:0
     97    echo "253:0" >/sys/class/pktcdvd/remove
