+
+1. Overview
+
+1.1 What is SR-IOV
+
+Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended
+capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual
+devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF)
+while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF).
+Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via
+registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is
+not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's
+turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own
+Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI
+Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver
+operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a
+real existing PCI device.
+
+2. User Guide
+
+2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
+
+The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
+of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
+has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
+VFs associated with the PF.
+
+2.2 How can I use the Virtual Functions
+
+The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
+should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
+requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.
+
+3. Developer Guide
+
+3.1 SR-IOV API
+
+To enable SR-IOV capability:
+	int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
+	'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
+
+To disable SR-IOV capability:
+	void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
+
+To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
+	irqreturn_t pci_sriov_migration(struct pci_dev *dev);
+
+3.2 Usage example
+
+Following piece of code illustrates the usage of the SR-IOV API.
+
+static int __devinit dev_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
+{
+	pci_enable_sriov(dev, NR_VIRTFN);
+
+	...
+
+	return 0;
+}
+
+static void __devexit dev_remove(struct pci_dev *dev)
+{
+	pci_disable_sriov(dev);
+
+	...
+}
+
+static int dev_suspend(struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state)
+{
+	...
+
+	return 0;
+}
+
+static int dev_resume(struct pci_dev *dev)
+{
+	...
+
+	return 0;
+}
+
+static void dev_shutdown(struct pci_dev *dev)
+{
+	...
+}
+
+static struct pci_driver dev_driver = {
+	.name =		"SR-IOV Physical Function driver",
+	.id_table =	dev_id_table,
+	.probe =	dev_probe,
+	.remove =	__devexit_p(dev_remove),
+	.suspend =	dev_suspend,
+	.resume =	dev_resume,
+	.shutdown =	dev_shutdown,
+};
