pciconfig_write (2)

#include <pci.h>

int pciconfig_read(unsigned long bus, unsigned long dfn,
          unsigned long off, unsigned long len, void *buf);
int pciconfig_write(unsigned long bus, unsigned long dfn,
          unsigned long off, unsigned long len, void *buf);
int pciconfig_iobase(long which, unsigned long bus,
          unsigned long devfn);

Most of the interaction with PCI devices is already handled by the kernel PCI layer, and thus these calls should not normally need to be accessed from user space.

pciconfig_read()

Reads to buf from device dev at offset off value.

pciconfig_write()

Writes from buf to device dev at offset off value.

pciconfig_iobase()

You pass it a bus/devfn pair and get a physical address for either the memory offset (for things like prep, this is 0xc0000000), the IO base for PIO cycles, or the ISA holes if any.

pciconfig_read()

On success zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.

pciconfig_write()

On success zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.

pciconfig_iobase()

Returns information on locations of various I/O regions in physical memory according to the which value. Values for which are: IOBASE_BRIDGE_NUMBER, IOBASE_MEMORY, IOBASE_IO, IOBASE_ISA_IO, IOBASE_ISA_MEM.

EINVAL

len value is invalid. This does not apply to pciconfig_iobase().

EIO

I/O error.

ENODEV

For pciconfig_iobase(), "hose" value is NULL. For the other calls, could not find a slot.

ENOSYS

The system has not implemented these calls (CONFIG_PCI not defined).

EOPNOTSUPP

This return value is valid only for pciconfig_iobase(). It is returned if the value for which is invalid.

EPERM

User does not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. This does not apply to pciconfig_iobase().

These calls are Linux-specific, available since Linux 2.0.26/2.1.11.
