+VGA Arbiter
+===========
+
+Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most
+modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices
+implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as
+they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994
+Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1"
+Section 7, Legacy Devices.
+
+The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server [0] existed for
+the legacy VGA arbitration task (besides other bus management tasks) when more
+than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens
+when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients
+(e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Moreover,
+ideally, being a userspace application, it is not the role of the X server to
+control bus resources. Therefore an arbitration scheme outside of the X server
+is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document introduces
+the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for the Linux kernel.
+
+vgaarb kernel/userspace ABI
+---------------------------
+
+The vgaarb is a module of the Linux Kernel. When it is initially loaded, it
+scans all PCI devices and adds the VGA ones inside the arbitration. The
+arbiter then enables/disables the decoding on different devices of the VGA
+legacy instructions. Devices which do not want/need to use the arbiter may
+explicitly tell it by calling vga_set_legacy_decoding().
+
+The kernel exports a char device interface (/dev/vga_arbiter) to the clients,
+which has the following semantics:
+
+open
+        Opens a user instance of the arbiter. By default, it's attached to the
+        default VGA device of the system.
+
+close
+        Close a user instance. Release locks made by the user
+
+read
+        Return a string indicating the status of the target like:
+
+        "<card_ID>,decodes=<io_state>,owns=<io_state>,locks=<io_state> (ic,mc)"
+
+        An IO state string is of the form {io,mem,io+mem,none}, mc and
+        ic are respectively mem and io lock counts (for debugging/
+        diagnostic only). "decodes" indicate what the card currently
+        decodes, "owns" indicates what is currently enabled on it, and
+        "locks" indicates what is locked by this card. If the card is
+        unplugged, we get "invalid" then for card_ID and an -ENODEV
+        error is returned for any command until a new card is targeted.
+
+
+write
+        Write a command to the arbiter. List of commands:
+
+        target <card_ID>
+                switch target to card <card_ID> (see below)
+        lock <io_state>
+                acquires locks on target ("none" is an invalid io_state)
+        trylock <io_state>
+                non-blocking acquire locks on target (returns EBUSY if
+                unsuccessful)
+        unlock <io_state>
+                release locks on target
+        unlock all
+                release all locks on target held by this user (not implemented
+                yet)
+        decodes <io_state>
+                set the legacy decoding attributes for the card
+
+        poll
+                event if something changes on any card (not just the target)
+
+        card_ID is of the form "PCI:domain:bus:dev.fn". It can be set to "default"
+        to go back to the system default card (TODO: not implemented yet). Currently,
+        only PCI is supported as a prefix, but the userland API may support other bus
+        types in the future, even if the current kernel implementation doesn't.
+
+Note about locks:
+
+The driver keeps track of which user has which locks on which card. It
+supports stacking, like the kernel one. 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 is also an in-kernel API of the arbiter in case DRM, vgacon, or other
+drivers want to use it.
+
+In-kernel interface
+-------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/vgaarb.h
+   :internal:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/vga/vgaarb.c
+   :export:
+
+libpciaccess
+------------
+
+To use the vga arbiter char device it was implemented an API inside the
+libpciaccess library. One field was added to struct pci_device (each device
+on the system)::
+
+    /* the type of resource decoded by the device */
+    int vgaarb_rsrc;
+
+Besides it, in pci_system were added::
+
+    int vgaarb_fd;
+    int vga_count;
+    struct pci_device *vga_target;
+    struct pci_device *vga_default_dev;
+
+The vga_count is used to track how many cards are being arbitrated, so for
+instance, if there is only one card, then it can completely escape arbitration.
+
+These functions below acquire VGA resources for the given card and mark those
+resources as locked. 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. Then, the card is marked as locking these resources and the IO and/or
+Memory access is enabled on the card (including VGA forwarding on parent
+P2P bridges if any). In the case of vga_arb_lock(), the function will block
+if some conflicting card is already locking one of the required resources (or
+any resource on a different bus segment, since P2P bridges don't differentiate
+VGA memory and IO afaik). If the card already owns the resources, the function
+succeeds.  vga_arb_trylock() will return (-EBUSY) instead of blocking. Nested
+calls are supported (a per-resource counter is maintained).
+
+Set the target device of this client. ::
+
+    int  pci_device_vgaarb_set_target   (struct pci_device *dev);
+
+For instance, in x86 if two devices on the same bus want to lock different
+resources, both will succeed (lock). If devices are in different buses and
+trying to lock different resources, only the first who tried succeeds. ::
+
+    int  pci_device_vgaarb_lock         (void);
+    int  pci_device_vgaarb_trylock      (void);
+
+Unlock resources of device. ::
+
+    int  pci_device_vgaarb_unlock       (void);
+
+Indicates to the arbiter if the card decodes legacy VGA IOs, legacy VGA
+Memory, both, or none. All cards default to both, the card driver (fbdev for
+example) should tell the arbiter if it has disabled legacy decoding, so the
+card can be left out of the arbitration process (and can be safe to take
+interrupts at any time. ::
+
+    int  pci_device_vgaarb_decodes      (int new_vgaarb_rsrc);
+
+Connects to the arbiter device, allocates the struct ::
+
+    int  pci_device_vgaarb_init         (void);
+
+Close the connection ::

- *     This function acquires VGA resources for the given
- *     card and mark those resources locked. If the resource 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. Then, the card is marked as locking these resources and
- *     the IO and/or Memory accesse are enabled on the card (including
- *     VGA forwarding on parent P2P bridges if any).
- *     This function will block if some conflicting card is already locking
- *     one of the required resources (or any resource on a different bus
- *     segment, since P2P bridges don't differenciate VGA memory and IO
- *     afaik). You can indicate whether this blocking should be interruptible
- *     by a signal (for userland interface) or not.
- *     Must not be called at interrupt time or in atomic context.
- *     If the card already owns the resources, the function succeeds.
- *     Nested calls are supported (a per-resource counter is maintained)
