s390_pci_mmio_write(2) System Calls Manuals390_pci_mmio_write(2)s390_pci_mmio_write, s390_pci_mmio_read - transfer data to/from PCI MMIO memory page
Standard C library (libc,-lc)
#include <sys/syscall.h>/* Definition ofSYS_*constants */#include <unistd.h>int syscall(size_t length;SYS_s390_pci_mmio_write, unsigned longmmio_addr,const voiduser_buffer[length], size_tlength);int syscall(size_t length;SYS_s390_pci_mmio_read, unsigned longmmio_addr,voiduser_buffer[length], size_tlength);Note: glibc provides no wrappers for these system calls, necessitating the use ofsyscall(2).
Thes390_pci_mmio_write() system call writeslength bytes of data from the user-space bufferuser_buffer to the PCI MMIO memory location specified bymmio_addr. Thes390_pci_mmio_read() system call readslength bytes of data from the PCI MMIO memory location specified bymmio_addr to the user-space bufferuser_buffer. These system calls must be used instead of the simple assignment or data-transfer operations that are used to access the PCI MMIO memory areas mapped to user space on the Linux System z platform. The address specified bymmio_addr must belong to a PCI MMIO memory page mapping in the caller's address space, and the data being written or read must not cross a page boundary. Thelength value cannot be greater than the system page size.
On success,s390_pci_mmio_write() ands390_pci_mmio_read() return 0. On failure, -1 is returned anderrno is set to indicate the error.
EFAULTThe address inmmio_addr is invalid.EFAULTuser_buffer does not point to a valid location in the caller's address space.EINVALInvalidlength argument.ENODEVPCI support is not enabled.ENOMEMInsufficient memory.
