+.TH S390_PCI_MMIO_WRITE 2 2015-01-15 "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+s390_pci_mmio_write, s390_pci_mmio_read \- transfer data to/from PCI
+MMIO memory page
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <asm/unistd.h>
+
+.BI "int s390_pci_mmio_write(unsigned long " mmio_addr ",
+.BI "                     void *" user_buffer ",
+.BI "                     size_t " length ");
+.br
+.BI "int s390_pci_mmio_read(unsigned long " mmio_addr ",
+.BI "                    void *" user_buffer ",
+.BI "                    size_t " length ");
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR s390_pci_mmio_write ()
+system call writes data of length
+.IR length
+from the user space buffer
+.IR user_buffer
+to a PCI MMIO memory location.
+The
+.BR s390_pci_mmio_read ()
+system call reads data from a PCI MMIO memory location
+to the user space buffer
+.IR user_buffer
+of
+.IR length
+bytes size.
+
+These system calls must be used instead of the simple assignment
+or data transfer operations that are used to access the PCI MMIO
+memory areas mapped to the user space on the Linux on System z
+platform.
+The address specified by the
+.IR mmio_addr
+parameter must belong to a PCI MMIO memory page mapping in the user
+address space, and the data being written or read must not cross a
+page boundary. The
+.IR length
+parameter value cannot be greater than the page size.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR s390_pci_mmio_write ()
+and
+.BR s390_pci_mmio_read ()
+return 0.
+On error, \-1 is returned and 
+.IR errno
+is set to one of the error codes listed below.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B ENODEV
+PCI support is not enabled.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory.
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+Invalid address was specified.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+Invalid parameter value.
+.SH VERSIONS
+These system calls are available since Linux 3.19.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This Linux-specific system call is available only on the s390
+architecture. The required PCI support is available beginning with
+System z EC12.
+.SH NOTES
+Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call, use
+.BR syscall (2)
+to call it.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR syscall (2)
