+Introduction
+============
+
+Media devices increasingly handle multiple related functions. Many USB
+cameras include microphones, video capture hardware can also output
+video, or SoC camera interfaces also perform memory-to-memory operations
+similar to video codecs.
+
+Independent functions, even when implemented in the same hardware, can
+be modelled as separate devices. A USB camera with a microphone will be
+presented to userspace applications as V4L2 and ALSA capture devices.
+The devices' relationships (when using a webcam, end-users shouldn't
+have to manually select the associated USB microphone), while not made
+available directly to applications by the drivers, can usually be
+retrieved from sysfs.
+
+With more and more advanced SoC devices being introduced, the current
+approach will not scale. Device topologies are getting increasingly
+complex and can't always be represented by a tree structure. Hardware
+blocks are shared between different functions, creating dependencies
+between seemingly unrelated devices.
+
+Kernel abstraction APIs such as V4L2 and ALSA provide means for
+applications to access hardware parameters. As newer hardware expose an
+increasingly high number of those parameters, drivers need to guess what
+applications really require based on limited information, thereby
+implementing policies that belong to userspace.
+
+The media controller API aims at solving those problems.

+Media device model
+==================
+
+Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime,
+is one of the goals of the media controller API. To achieve this,
+hardware devices and Linux Kernel interfaces are modelled as graph
+objects on an oriented graph. The object types that constitute the graph
+are:
+
+- An **entity** is a basic media hardware or software building block.
+ It can correspond to a large variety of logical blocks such as
+ physical hardware devices (CMOS sensor for instance), logical
+ hardware devices (a building block in a System-on-Chip image
+ processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical connectors.
+
+- An **interface** is a graph representation of a Linux Kernel
+ userspace API interface, like a device node or a sysfs file that
+ controls one or more entities in the graph.
+
+- A **pad** is a data connection endpoint through which an entity can
+ interact with other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced
+ by an entity flows from the entity's output to one or more entity
+ inputs. Pads should not be confused with physical pins at chip
+ boundaries.
+
+- A **data link** is a point-to-point oriented connection between two
+ pads, either on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows
+ from a source pad to a sink pad.
+
+- An **interface link** is a point-to-point bidirectional control
+ connection between a Linux Kernel interface and an entity.

+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The :ref:`ioctl() <media-func-ioctl>` function manipulates media device
+parameters. The argument ``fd`` must be an open file descriptor.
+
+The ioctl ``request`` code specifies the media function to be called. It
+has encoded in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write
+parameter, and the size of the argument ``argp`` in bytes.
+
+Macros and structures definitions specifying media ioctl requests and
+their parameters are located in the media.h header file. All media ioctl
+requests, their respective function and parameters are specified in
+:ref:`media-user-func`.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+Request-specific error codes are listed in the individual requests
+descriptions.
+
+When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails, the
+parameter remains unmodified.

+
+All media devices must support the ``MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO`` ioctl. To
+query device information, applications call the ioctl with a pointer to
+a struct :c:type:`media_device_info`. The driver
+fills the structure and returns the information to the application. The
+ioctl never fails.

+ - ``driver``\ [16]
+ - Name of the driver implementing the media API as a NUL-terminated

+ the driver identity. It is also useful to work around known bugs,
+ or to identify drivers in error reports.
+

+ - Device model name as a NUL-terminated UTF-8 string. The device
+ version is stored in the ``device_version`` field and is not be

+ * - char
+ - ``serial``\ [40]
+ - Serial number as a NUL-terminated ASCII string.
+
+ * - char
+ - ``bus_info``\ [32]
+ - Location of the device in the system as a NUL-terminated ASCII
+ string. This includes the bus type name (PCI, USB, ...) and a

+ this identifies a particular driver.
+
+ * - __u32
+ - ``reserved``\ [31]
+ - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
+ this array to zero.
+
+
+The ``serial`` and ``bus_info`` fields can be used to distinguish
+between multiple instances of otherwise identical hardware. The serial
+number takes precedence when provided and can be assumed to be unique.
+If the serial number is an empty string, the ``bus_info`` field can be
+used instead. The ``bus_info`` field is guaranteed to be unique, but can
+vary across reboots or device unplug/replug.

+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set

+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY, struct media_v2_topology *argp )

+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The typical usage of this ioctl is to call it twice. On the first call,
+the structure defined at struct
+:c:type:`media_v2_topology` should be zeroed. At
+return, if no errors happen, this ioctl will return the
+``topology_version`` and the total number of entities, interfaces, pads
+and links.
+
+Before the second call, the userspace should allocate arrays to store
+the graph elements that are desired, putting the pointers to them at the
+ptr_entities, ptr_interfaces, ptr_links and/or ptr_pads, keeping the
+other values untouched.
+
+If the ``topology_version`` remains the same, the ioctl should fill the
+desired arrays with the media graph elements.

+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK, struct media_link_desc *argp )
+ :name: MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To change link properties applications fill a struct
+:c:type:`media_link_desc` with link identification
+information (source and sink pad) and the new requested link flags. They
+then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to that
+structure.
+
+The only configurable property is the ``ENABLED`` link flag to
+enable/disable a link. Links marked with the ``IMMUTABLE`` link flag can
+not be enabled or disabled.
+
+Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled link
+at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver returns
+with an ``EBUSY`` error code.
+
+Only links marked with the ``DYNAMIC`` link flag can be enabled/disabled
+while streaming media data. Attempting to enable or disable a streaming
+non-dynamic link will return an ``EBUSY`` error code.
+
+If the specified link can't be found the driver returns with an ``EINVAL``
+error code.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EINVAL
+ The struct :c:type:`media_link_desc` references a
+ non-existing link, or the link is immutable and an attempt to modify
+ its configuration was made.

+
+ * - ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_MUST_CONNECT``
+ - If this flag is set and the pad is linked to any other pad, then
+ at least one of those links must be enabled for the entity to be
+ able to stream. There could be temporary reasons (e.g. device
+ configuration dependent) for the pad to need enabled links even

+ * - ``MEDIA_LNK_FL_ENABLED``
+ - The link is enabled and can be used to transfer media data. When

+
+ * - ``MEDIA_LNK_FL_IMMUTABLE``
+ - The link enabled state can't be modified at runtime. An immutable

+ - The link enabled state can be modified during streaming. This flag
+ is set by drivers and is read-only for applications.
+
+ * - ``MEDIA_LNK_FL_LINK_TYPE``
