'needs_freset' initialization added in 6e19314cc ("PCI/powerpc: support
PCIe fundamental reset") is now in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_of_scan.c.

This complexifies the implementation +a bit, but makes the arbiter more tolerant to user space problems and able +to properly cleanup in all cases when a process dies. +Currently, a max of 16 cards can have locks simultaneously issued from +user space for a given user (file descriptor instance) of the arbiter. + +In the case of devices hot-{un,}plugged, there is a hook - pci_notify() - to +notify them being added/removed in the system and automatically added/removed +in the arbiter. + +There's also a in-kernel API of the arbiter in the case of DRM, vgacon and +others which may use the arbiter. + + +I.2 libpciaccess +---------------- + +To use the vga arbiter char device it was implemented an API inside the +libpciaccess library.

If the resources requested are "normal" (and not legacy) +resources, the arbiter will first check whether the card is doing legacy +decoding for that type of resource. If yes, the lock is "converted" into a +legacy resource lock. The arbiter will first look for all VGA cards that +might conflict and disable their IOs and/or Memory access, including VGA +forwarding on P2P bridges if necessary, so that the requested resources can +be used.
