The RUNNING_P2P state is designed to support multiple devices in the same VM that are doing P2P transactions between themselves. When in RUNNING_P2P the device must be able to accept incoming P2P transactions but should not generate outgoing P2P transactions. As an optional extension to the mandatory states it is defined as in between STOP and RUNNING: STOP -> RUNNING_P2P -> RUNNING -> RUNNING_P2P -> STOP For drivers that are unable to support RUNNING_P2P the core code silently merges RUNNING_P2P and RUNNING together. Unless driver support is present, the new state cannot be used in SET_STATE. Drivers that support this will be required to implement 4 FSM arcs beyond the basic FSM. 2 of the basic FSM arcs become combination transitions. Compared to the v1 clarification, NDMA is redefined into FSM states and is described in terms of the desired P2P quiescent behavior, noting that halting all DMA is an acceptable implementation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
