The Atomic Operations feature (PCIe r4.0, sec 6.15) allows atomic transctions to be requested by, routed through and completed by PCIe components. Routing and completion do not require software support. Component support for each is detectable via the DEVCAP2 register. A Requester may use AtomicOps only if its PCI_EXP_DEVCTL2_ATOMIC_REQ is set. This should be set only if the Completer and all intermediate routing elements support AtomicOps. A concrete example is the AMD Fiji-class GPU (which is capable of making AtomicOp requests), below a PLX 8747 switch (advertising AtomicOp routing) with a Haswell host bridge (advertising AtomicOp completion support). Add pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root() for per-device control over AtomicOp requests. This checks to be sure the Root Port supports completion of the desired AtomicOp sizes and the path to the Root Port supports routing the AtomicOps.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
