Subject: [PATCH v7 0/1] PCI/sysfs: Expose PCIe device serial number
Hi Bjorn,
It looks like this missed the cutoff for 6.17; do you have any objections for the patch
or do you think including it in 6.18 is feasible?
----
Add a single sysfs read-only, admin-only interface for reading PCIe device
serial numbers from userspace, using the same hexadecimal 1-byte dashed
formatting as lspci serial number capability output:
sudo cat /sys/devices/pci0000:c0/0000:c0:01.1/0000:c1:00.0/0000:c2:1f.0/0000:ef:00.0/serial_number
00-80-ee-00-00-00-41-80
If a device doesn't support the serial number capability, the
serial_number sysfs attribute will not be visible.
Comparing serial number format to lspci output:
sudo lspci -vvv -s ef:00.0
ef:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI PCIe Switch management endpoint (rev b0)
Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI Device 0144
...
Capabilities: [100 v1] Device Serial Number 00-80-ee-00-00-00-41-80
...
This PCIe device sysfs attribute eliminates the need for parsing lspci
output (e.g. regexp) for userspace applications that utilize serial
numbers.

Updated docs to change kernel introduction date to December 2025 (6.18)
