[PATCH v7 3/9] PCI: endpoint: Add auxiliary resource query API

Koichiro Den den at valinux.co.jp
Sun Feb 15 08:38:41 PST 2026


Endpoint controller drivers may integrate auxiliary blocks (e.g. DMA
engines) whose register windows and descriptor memories metadata need to
be exposed to a remote peer. Endpoint function drivers need a generic
way to discover such resources without hard-coding controller-specific
helpers.

Add pci_epc_get_aux_resources() and the corresponding pci_epc_ops
get_aux_resources() callback. The API returns a list of resources
described by type, physical address and size, plus type-specific
metadata.

Passing resources == NULL (or num_resources == 0) returns the required
number of entries.
