This document is a guide to use the PCI Endpoint Framework in order to create
endpoint controller driver, endpoint function driver, and using configfs
interface to bind the function driver to the controller driver.

2. PCI Endpoint Core
+====================

The PCI Endpoint Core layer comprises 3 components: the Endpoint Controller
library, the Endpoint Function library, and the configfs layer to bind the
endpoint function with the endpoint controller.

2.1 PCI Endpoint Controller(EPC) Library
+----------------------------------------

The EPC library provides APIs to be used by the controller that can operate
in endpoint mode. It also provides APIs to be used by function driver/library
in order to implement a particular endpoint function.

2.1.1 APIs for the PCI controller Driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This section lists the APIs that the PCI Endpoint core provides to be used
by the PCI controller driver.

-*) devm_pci_epc_create()/pci_epc_create()
+* devm_pci_epc_create()/pci_epc_create()

The PCI controller driver should implement the following ops:
* write_header: ops to populate configuration space header

devm_pci_epc_create()/pci_epc_create().

-*) devm_pci_epc_destroy()/pci_epc_destroy()
+* devm_pci_epc_destroy()/pci_epc_destroy()

The PCI controller driver can destroy the EPC device created by either
devm_pci_epc_create() or pci_epc_create() using devm_pci_epc_destroy() or
pci_epc_destroy().

-*) pci_epc_linkup()
+* pci_epc_linkup()

In order to notify all the function devices that the EPC device to which
they are linked has established a link with the host, the PCI controller
driver should invoke pci_epc_linkup().

-*) pci_epc_mem_init()
+* pci_epc_mem_init()

Initialize the pci_epc_mem structure used for allocating EPC addr space.

-*) pci_epc_mem_exit()
+* pci_epc_mem_exit()

Cleanup the pci_epc_mem structure allocated during pci_epc_mem_init().

-*) pci_epc_write_header()
+* pci_epc_write_header()

The PCI endpoint function driver should use pci_epc_write_header() to
write the standard configuration header to the endpoint controller.

-*) pci_epc_set_bar()
+* pci_epc_set_bar()

The PCI endpoint function driver should use pci_epc_set_bar() to configure
the Base Address Register in order for the host to assign PCI addr space.
Register space of the function driver is usually configured
using this API.

-*) pci_epc_clear_bar()
+* pci_epc_clear_bar()

The PCI endpoint function driver should use pci_epc_clear_bar() to reset
the BAR.

-*) pci_epc_raise_irq()
+* pci_epc_raise_irq()

The PCI endpoint function driver should use pci_epc_raise_irq() to raise
Legacy Interrupt, MSI or MSI-X Interrupt.

-*) pci_epc_mem_alloc_addr()
+* pci_epc_mem_alloc_addr()

The PCI endpoint function driver should use pci_epc_mem_alloc_addr(), to
allocate memory address from EPC addr space which is required to access
RC's buffer

-*) pci_epc_mem_free_addr()
+* pci_epc_mem_free_addr()

The PCI endpoint function driver should use pci_epc_mem_free_addr() to
free the memory space allocated using pci_epc_mem_alloc_addr().

2.1.3 Other APIs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are other APIs provided by the EPC library. These are used for binding
the EPF device with EPC device. pci-ep-cfs.c can be used as reference for
using these APIs.

-*) pci_epc_get()
+* pci_epc_get()

Get a reference to the PCI endpoint controller based on the device name of
the controller.

-*) pci_epc_put()
+* pci_epc_put()

Release the reference to the PCI endpoint controller obtained using
pci_epc_get()

-*) pci_epc_add_epf()
+* pci_epc_add_epf()

Add a PCI endpoint function to a PCI endpoint controller. A PCIe device
can have up to 8 functions according to the specification.

-*) pci_epc_remove_epf()
+* pci_epc_remove_epf()

Remove the PCI endpoint function from PCI endpoint controller.

-*) pci_epc_start()
+* pci_epc_start()

The PCI endpoint function driver should invoke pci_epc_start() once it
has configured the endpoint function and wants to start the PCI link.

-*) pci_epc_stop()
+* pci_epc_stop()

The PCI endpoint function driver should invoke pci_epc_stop() to stop
the PCI LINK.

2.2 PCI Endpoint Function(EPF) Library
+--------------------------------------

The EPF library provides APIs to be used by the function driver and the EPC
library to provide endpoint mode functionality.

pci_epf_unregister_driver().

and EPF device is lost.
