+Adjunct Processor (AP) facility
+===============================
+
+
+Introduction
+============
+The Adjunct Processor (AP) facility is an IBM Z cryptographic facility comprised
+of three AP instructions and from 1 up to 256 PCIe cryptographic adapter cards.
+The AP devices provide cryptographic functions to all CPUs assigned to a
+linux system running in an IBM Z system LPAR.
+
+The AP adapter cards are exposed via the AP bus. The motivation for vfio-ap
+is to make AP cards available to KVM guests using the VFIO mediated device
+framework. This implementation relies considerably on the s390 virtualization
+facilities which do most of the hard work of providing direct access to AP
+devices.
+
+AP Architectural Overview
+=========================
+To facilitate the comprehension of the design, let's start with some
+definitions:
+
+* AP adapter
+
+  An AP adapter is an IBM Z adapter card that can perform cryptographic
+  functions. There can be from 0 to 256 adapters assigned to an LPAR. Adapters
+  assigned to the LPAR in which a linux host is running will be available to
+  the linux host. Each adapter is identified by a number from 0 to 255; however,
+  the maximum adapter number is determined by machine model and/or adapter type.
+  When installed, an AP adapter is accessed by AP instructions executed by any
+  CPU.
+
+  The AP adapter cards are assigned to a given LPAR via the system's Activation
+  Profile which can be edited via the HMC. When the linux host system is IPL'd
+  in the LPAR, the AP bus detects the AP adapter cards assigned to the LPAR and
+  creates a sysfs device for each assigned adapter. For example, if AP adapters
+  4 and 10 (0x0a) are assigned to the LPAR, the AP bus will create the following
+  sysfs device entries::
+
+    /sys/devices/ap/card04
+    /sys/devices/ap/card0a
+
+  Symbolic links to these devices will also be created in the AP bus devices
+  sub-directory::
+
+    /sys/bus/ap/devices/[card04]
+    /sys/bus/ap/devices/[card04]
+
+* AP domain
+
+  An adapter is partitioned into domains. An adapter can hold up to 256 domains
+  depending upon the adapter type and hardware configuration. A domain is
+  identified by a number from 0 to 255; however, the maximum domain number is
+  determined by machine model and/or adapter type.. A domain can be thought of
+  as a set of hardware registers and memory used for processing AP commands. A
+  domain can be configured with a secure private key used for clear key
+  encryption. A domain is classified in one of two ways depending upon how it
+  may be accessed:
+
+    * Usage domains are domains that are targeted by an AP instruction to
+      process an AP command.
+
+    * Control domains are domains that are changed by an AP command sent to a
+      usage domain; for example, to set the secure private key for the control
+      domain.
+
+  The AP usage and control domains are assigned to a given LPAR via the system's
+  Activation Profile which can be edited via the HMC. When a linux host system
+  is IPL'd in the LPAR, the AP bus module detects the AP usage and control
+  domains assigned to the LPAR. The domain number of each usage domain and
+  adapter number of each AP adapter are combined to create AP queue devices
+  (see AP Queue section below). The domain number of each control domain will be
+  represented in a bitmask and stored in a sysfs file
+  /sys/bus/ap/ap_control_domain_mask. The bits in the mask, from most to least
+  significant bit, correspond to domains 0-255.
+
+* AP Queue
+
+  An AP queue is the means by which an AP command is sent to a usage domain
+  inside a specific adapter. An AP queue is identified by a tuple
+  comprised of an AP adapter ID (APID) and an AP queue index (APQI). The
+  APQI corresponds to a given usage domain number within the adapter. This tuple
+  forms an AP Queue Number (APQN) uniquely identifying an AP queue. AP
+  instructions include a field containing the APQN to identify the AP queue to
+  which the AP command is to be sent for processing.
+
+  The AP bus will create a sysfs device for each APQN that can be derived from
+  the cross product of the AP adapter and usage domain numbers detected when the
+  AP bus module is loaded. For example, if adapters 4 and 10 (0x0a) and usage
+  domains 6 and 71 (0x47) are assigned to the LPAR, the AP bus will create the
+  following sysfs entries::
+
+    /sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0006
+    /sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0047
+    /sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0006
+    /sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0047
+
+  The following symbolic links to these devices will be created in the AP bus
+  devices subdirectory::
+
+    /sys/bus/ap/devices/[04.0006]
+    /sys/bus/ap/devices/[04.0047]
+    /sys/bus/ap/devices/[0a.0006]
+    /sys/bus/ap/devices/[0a.0047]
+
+* AP Instructions:
+
+  There are three AP instructions:
+
+  * NQAP: to enqueue an AP command-request message to a queue
+  * DQAP: to dequeue an AP command-reply message from a queue
+  * PQAP: to administer the queues
+
+  AP instructions identify the domain that is targeted to process the AP
+  command; this must be one of the usage domains. An AP command may modify a
+  domain that is not one of the usage domains, but the modified domain
+  must be one of the control domains.
+
+AP and SIE
+==========
+Let's now take a look at how AP instructions executed on a guest are interpreted
+by the hardware.
+
+A satellite control block called the Crypto Control Block (CRYCB) is attached to
+our main hardware virtualization control block. The CRYCB contains three fields
+to identify the adapters, usage domains and control domains assigned to the KVM
+guest:
+
+* The AP Mask (APM) field is a bit mask that identifies the AP adapters assigned
+  to the KVM guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from most
+  significant to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to
+  an APID from 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding adapter is valid for
+  use by the KVM guest.
+
+* The AP Queue Mask (AQM) field is a bit mask identifying the AP usage domains
+  assigned to the KVM guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from
+  most significant to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to
+  an AP queue index (APQI) from 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding queue
+  is valid for use by the KVM guest.
+
+* The AP Domain Mask field is a bit mask that identifies the AP control domains
+  assigned to the KVM guest. The ADM bit mask controls which domains can be
+  changed by an AP command-request message sent to a usage domain from the
+  guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from most significant to
+  least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to a domain from
+  0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding domain can be modified by an AP
+  command-request message sent to a usage domain.
+
+If you recall from the description of an AP Queue, AP instructions include
+an APQN to identify the AP queue to which an AP command-request message is to be
+sent (NQAP and PQAP instructions), or from which a command-reply message is to
+be received (DQAP instruction). The validity of an APQN is defined by the matrix
+calculated from the APM and AQM; it is the cross product of all assigned adapter
+numbers (APM) with all assigned queue indexes (AQM). For example, if adapters 1
+and 2 and usage domains 5 and 6 are assigned to a guest, the APQNs (1,5), (1,6),
+(2,5) and (2,6) will be valid for the guest.
+
+The APQNs can provide secure key functionality - i.e., a private key is stored
+on the adapter card for each of its domains - so each APQN must be assigned to
+at most one guest or to the linux host::
+
+   Example 1: Valid configuration:
+   ------------------------------
+   Guest1: adapters 1,2  domains 5,6
+   Guest2: adapter  1,2  domain 7
+
+   This is valid because both guests have a unique set of APQNs:
+      Guest1 has APQNs (1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6);
+      Guest2 has APQNs (1,7), (2,7)
+
+   Example 2: Valid configuration:
+   ------------------------------
+   Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6
+   Guest2: adapters 3,4 domains 5,6
+
+   This is also valid because both guests have a unique set of APQNs:
+      Guest1 has APQNs (1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6);
+      Guest2 has APQNs (3,5), (3,6), (4,5), (4,6)
+
+   Example 3: Invalid configuration:
+   --------------------------------
+   Guest1: adapters 1,2  domains 5,6
+   Guest2: adapter  1    domains 6,7
+
+   This is an invalid configuration because both guests have access to
+   APQN (1,6).
+
+The Design
+==========
+The design introduces three new objects:
+
+1. AP matrix device
+2. VFIO AP device driver (vfio_ap.ko)
+3. VFIO AP mediated matrix pass-through device
+
+The VFIO AP device driver
+-------------------------
+The VFIO AP (vfio_ap) device driver serves the following purposes:
+
+1. Provides the interfaces to secure APQNs for exclusive use of KVM guests.
+
+2. Sets up the VFIO mediated device interfaces to manage a mediated matrix
+   device and creates the sysfs interfaces for assigning adapters, usage
+   domains, and control domains comprising the matrix for a KVM guest.
+
+3. Configures the APM, AQM and ADM in the CRYCB referenced by a KVM guest's
+   SIE state description to grant the guest access to a matrix of AP devices
+
+Reserve APQNs for exclusive use of KVM guests

+The following block diagram illustrates the mechanism by which APQNs are
+reserved::

+
+The process for reserving an AP queue for use by a KVM guest is:
+
+1. The administrator loads the vfio_ap device driver
+2. The vfio-ap driver during its initialization will register a single 'matrix'
+   device with the device core. This will serve as the parent device for
+   all mediated matrix devices used to configure an AP matrix for a guest.
+3. The /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix device is created by the device core
+4. The vfio_ap device driver will register with the AP bus for AP queue devices
+   of type 10 and higher (CEX4 and newer). The driver will provide the vfio_ap
+   driver's probe and remove callback interfaces. Devices older than CEX4 queues
+   are not supported to simplify the implementation by not needlessly
+   complicating the design by supporting older devices that will go out of
+   service in the relatively near future, and for which there are few older
+   systems around on which to test.
+5. The AP bus registers the vfio_ap device driver with the device core
+6. The administrator edits the AP adapter and queue masks to reserve AP queues
+   for use by the vfio_ap device driver.
+7. The AP bus removes the AP queues reserved for the vfio_ap driver from the
+   default zcrypt cex4queue driver.
+8. The AP bus probes the vfio_ap device driver to bind the queues reserved for
+   it.
+9. The administrator creates a passthrough type mediated matrix device to be
+   used by a guest
+10. The administrator assigns the adapters, usage domains and control domains
+    to be exclusively used by a guest.
+
+Set up the VFIO mediated device interfaces
+------------------------------------------
+The VFIO AP device driver utilizes the common interface of the VFIO mediated
+device core driver to:
+
+* Register an AP mediated bus driver to add a mediated matrix device to and
+  remove it from a VFIO group.
+* Create and destroy a mediated matrix device
+* Add a mediated matrix device to and remove it from the AP mediated bus driver
+* Add a mediated matrix device to and remove it from an IOMMU group
+
+The following high-level block diagram shows the main components and interfaces
+of the VFIO AP mediated matrix device driver::
+
+   +-------------+
+   |             |
+   | +---------+ | mdev_register_driver() +--------------+
+   | |  Mdev   | +<-----------------------+              |
+   | |  bus    | |                        | vfio_mdev.ko |

+   | +---------+ |    probe()/remove()    +--------------+    APIs
+   |             |
+   |  MDEV CORE  |
+   |   MODULE    |
+   |   mdev.ko   |
+   | +---------+ | mdev_register_device() +--------------+
+   | |Physical | +<-----------------------+              |
+   | | device  | |                        |  vfio_ap.ko  |<-> matrix
+   | |interface| +----------------------->+              |    device
+   | +---------+ |       callback         +--------------+
+   +-------------+
+
+During initialization of the vfio_ap module, the matrix device is registered
+with an 'mdev_parent_ops' structure that provides the sysfs attribute
+structures, mdev functions and callback interfaces for managing the mediated
+matrix device.
+
+* sysfs attribute structures:
+
+  supported_type_groups
+    The VFIO mediated device framework supports creation of user-defined
+    mediated device types. These mediated device types are specified
+    via the 'supported_type_groups' structure when a device is registered
+    with the mediated device framework. The registration process creates the
+    sysfs structures for each mediated device type specified in the
+    'mdev_supported_types' sub-directory of the device being registered. Along
+    with the device type, the sysfs attributes of the mediated device type are
+    provided.
+
+    The VFIO AP device driver will register one mediated device type for
+    passthrough devices:
+
+      /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/mdev_supported_types/vfio_ap-passthrough
+
+    Only the read-only attributes required by the VFIO mdev framework will
+    be provided::
+
+	... name
+	... device_api
+	... available_instances
+	... device_api
+
+    Where:
+
+	* name:
+	    specifies the name of the mediated device type
+	* device_api:
+	    the mediated device type's API
+	* available_instances:
+	    the number of mediated matrix passthrough devices
+	    that can be created
+	* device_api:
+	    specifies the VFIO API
+  mdev_attr_groups
+    This attribute group identifies the user-defined sysfs attributes of the
+    mediated device. When a device is registered with the VFIO mediated device
+    framework, the sysfs attribute files identified in the 'mdev_attr_groups'
+    structure will be created in the mediated matrix device's directory. The
+    sysfs attributes for a mediated matrix device are:
+
+    assign_adapter / unassign_adapter:
+      Write-only attributes for assigning/unassigning an AP adapter to/from the
+      mediated matrix device. To assign/unassign an adapter, the APID of the
+      adapter is echoed to the respective attribute file.
+    assign_domain / unassign_domain:
+      Write-only attributes for assigning/unassigning an AP usage domain to/from
+      the mediated matrix device. To assign/unassign a domain, the domain
+      number of the usage domain is echoed to the respective attribute
+      file.
+    matrix:
+      A read-only file for displaying the APQNs derived from the cross product
+      of the adapter and domain numbers assigned to the mediated matrix device.
+    assign_control_domain / unassign_control_domain:
+      Write-only attributes for assigning/unassigning an AP control domain
+      to/from the mediated matrix device. To assign/unassign a control domain,
+      the ID of the domain to be assigned/unassigned is echoed to the respective
+      attribute file.
+    control_domains:
+      A read-only file for displaying the control domain numbers assigned to the
+      mediated matrix device.
+
+* functions:
+
+  create:
+    allocates the ap_matrix_mdev structure used by the vfio_ap driver to:
+
+    * Store the reference to the KVM structure for the guest using the mdev
+    * Store the AP matrix configuration for the adapters, domains, and control
+      domains assigned via the corresponding sysfs attributes files
+
+  remove:
+    deallocates the mediated matrix device's ap_matrix_mdev structure. This will
+    be allowed only if a running guest is not using the mdev.
+
+* callback interfaces
+
+  open:
+    The vfio_ap driver uses this callback to register a
+    VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notifier callback function for the mdev matrix
+    device. The open is invoked when QEMU connects the VFIO iommu group
+    for the mdev matrix device to the MDEV bus. Access to the KVM structure used
+    to configure the KVM guest is provided via this callback. The KVM structure,
+    is used to configure the guest's access to the AP matrix defined via the
+    mediated matrix device's sysfs attribute files.
+  release:
+    unregisters the VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notifier callback function for the
+    mdev matrix device and deconfigures the guest's AP matrix.
+
+Configure the APM, AQM and ADM in the CRYCB
+-------------------------------------------
+Configuring the AP matrix for a KVM guest will be performed when the
+VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notifier callback is invoked. The notifier
+function is called when QEMU connects to KVM. The guest's AP matrix is
+configured via it's CRYCB by:
+
+* Setting the bits in the APM corresponding to the APIDs assigned to the
+  mediated matrix device via its 'assign_adapter' interface.
+* Setting the bits in the AQM corresponding to the domains assigned to the
+  mediated matrix device via its 'assign_domain' interface.
+* Setting the bits in the ADM corresponding to the domain dIDs assigned to the
+  mediated matrix device via its 'assign_control_domains' interface.
+
+The CPU model features for AP
+-----------------------------
+The AP stack relies on the presence of the AP instructions as well as two
+facilities: The AP Facilities Test (APFT) facility; and the AP Query
+Configuration Information (QCI) facility. These features/facilities are made
+available to a KVM guest via the following CPU model features:
+
+1. ap: Indicates whether the AP instructions are installed on the guest. This
+   feature will be enabled by KVM only if the AP instructions are installed
+   on the host.
+
+2. apft: Indicates the APFT facility is available on the guest. This facility
+   can be made available to the guest only if it is available on the host (i.e.,
+   facility bit 15 is set).
+
+3. apqci: Indicates the AP QCI facility is available on the guest. This facility
+   can be made available to the guest only if it is available on the host (i.e.,
+   facility bit 12 is set).
+
+Note: If the user chooses to specify a CPU model different than the 'host'
+model to QEMU, the CPU model features and facilities need to be turned on
+explicitly; for example::
+
+     /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu z13,ap=on,apqci=on,apft=on
+
+A guest can be precluded from using AP features/facilities by turning them off
+explicitly; for example::
+
+     /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu host,ap=off,apqci=off,apft=off
+
+Note: If the APFT facility is turned off (apft=off) for the guest, the guest
+will not see any AP devices. The zcrypt device drivers that register for type 10
+and newer AP devices - i.e., the cex4card and cex4queue device drivers - need
+the APFT facility to ascertain the facilities installed on a given AP device. If
+the APFT facility is not installed on the guest, then the probe of device
+drivers will fail since only type 10 and newer devices can be configured for
+guest use.
+
+Example
+=======
+Let's now provide an example to illustrate how KVM guests may be given
+access to AP facilities. For this example, we will show how to configure
+three guests such that executing the lszcrypt command on the guests would
+look like this:

+   * vfio_mdev_device
+   * KVM
+
+   To build the vfio_ap module, the kernel build must be configured with the
+   following Kconfig elements selected:
+   * IOMMU_SUPPORT
+   * S390
+   * ZCRYPT
+   * S390_AP_IOMMU
+   * VFIO
+   * VFIO_MDEV
+   * VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE
+   * KVM
+
+   If using make menuconfig select the following to build the vfio_ap module::
+
+     -> Device Drivers
+	-> IOMMU Hardware Support
+	   select S390 AP IOMMU Support
+	-> VFIO Non-Privileged userspace driver framework
+	   -> Mediated device driver frramework
+	      -> VFIO driver for Mediated devices
+     -> I/O subsystem
+	-> VFIO support for AP devices
+
+2. Secure the AP queues to be used by the three guests so that the host can not
+   access them. To secure them, there are two sysfs files that specify
+   bitmasks marking a subset of the APQN range as 'usable by the default AP
+   queue device drivers' or 'not usable by the default device drivers' and thus
+   available for use by the vfio_ap device driver'. The location of the sysfs
+   files containing the masks are::
+
+     /sys/bus/ap/apmask
+     /sys/bus/ap/aqmask
+
+   The 'apmask' is a 256-bit mask that identifies a set of AP adapter IDs
+   (APID). Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e., from most significant
+   to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to an APID from
+   0-255. If a bit is set, the APID is marked as usable only by the default AP
+   queue device drivers; otherwise, the APID is usable by the vfio_ap
+   device driver.
+
+   The 'aqmask' is a 256-bit mask that identifies a set of AP queue indexes
+   (APQI). Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e., from most significant
+   to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to an APQI from
+   0-255. If a bit is set, the APQI is marked as usable only by the default AP
+   queue device drivers; otherwise, the APQI is usable by the vfio_ap device
+   driver.
+
+   Take, for example, the following mask::
+
+      0x7dffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
+
+    It indicates:
+
+      1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7-255 belong to the default drivers' pool, and 0 and 6
+      belong to the vfio_ap device driver's pool.
+
+   The APQN of each AP queue device assigned to the linux host is checked by the
+   AP bus against the set of APQNs derived from the cross product of APIDs
+   and APQIs marked as usable only by the default AP queue device drivers. If a
+   match is detected,  only the default AP queue device drivers will be probed;
+   otherwise, the vfio_ap device driver will be probed.
+
+   By default, the two masks are set to reserve all APQNs for use by the default
+   AP queue device drivers. There are two ways the default masks can be changed:
+
+   1. The sysfs mask files can be edited by echoing a string into the
+      respective sysfs mask file in one of two formats:
+
+      * An absolute hex string starting with 0x - like "0x12345678" - sets
+	the mask. If the given string is shorter than the mask, it is padded
+	with 0s on the right; for example, specifying a mask value of 0x41 is
+	the same as specifying::
+
+	   0x4100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
+
+	Keep in mind that the mask reads from left to right (i.e., most
+	significant to least significant bit in big endian order), so the mask
+	above identifies device numbers 1 and 7 (01000001).
+
+	If the string is longer than the mask, the operation is terminated with
+	an error (EINVAL).
+
+      * Individual bits in the mask can be switched on and off by specifying
+	each bit number to be switched in a comma separated list. Each bit
+	number string must be prepended with a ('+') or minus ('-') to indicate
+	the corresponding bit is to be switched on ('+') or off ('-'). Some
+	valid values are:
+
+	   - "+0"    switches bit 0 on
+	   - "-13"   switches bit 13 off
+	   - "+0x41" switches bit 65 on
+	   - "-0xff" switches bit 255 off
+
+	The following example:
+
+	      +0,-6,+0x47,-0xf0
+
+	Switches bits 0 and 71 (0x47) on
+
+	Switches bits 6 and 240 (0xf0) off
+
+	Note that the bits not specified in the list remain as they were before
+	the operation.
+
+   2. The masks can also be changed at boot time via parameters on the kernel
+      command line like this:
+
+	 ap.apmask=0xffff ap.aqmask=0x40
+
+	 This would create the following masks::
+
+	    apmask:
+	    0xffff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
+
+	    aqmask:
+	    0x4000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
+
+	 Resulting in these two pools::
+
+	    default drivers pool:    adapter 0-15, domain 1
+	    alternate drivers pool:  adapter 16-255, domains 0, 2-255
+
+Securing the APQNs for our example
+----------------------------------
+   To secure the AP queues 05.0004, 05.0047, 05.00ab, 05.00ff, 06.0004, 06.0047,
+   06.00ab, and 06.00ff for use by the vfio_ap device driver, the corresponding
+   APQNs can either be removed from the default masks::
+
+      echo -5,-6 > /sys/bus/ap/apmask
+
+      echo -4,-0x47,-0xab,-0xff > /sys/bus/ap/aqmask
+
+   Or the masks can be set as follows::
+
+      echo 0xf9ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff \
+      > apmask
+
+      echo 0xf7fffffffffffffffeffffffffffffffffffffffffeffffffffffffffffffffe \
+      > aqmask
+
+   This will result in AP queues 05.0004, 05.0047, 05.00ab, 05.00ff, 06.0004,
+   06.0047, 06.00ab, and 06.00ff getting bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The
+   sysfs directory for the vfio_ap device driver will now contain symbolic links
+   to the AP queue devices bound to it::
+
+     /sys/bus/ap
+     ... [drivers]
+     ...... [vfio_ap]
+     ......... [05.0004]
+     ......... [05.0047]
+     ......... [05.00ab]
+     ......... [05.00ff]
+     ......... [06.0004]
+     ......... [06.0047]
+     ......... [06.00ab]
+     ......... [06.00ff]
+
+   Keep in mind that only type 10 and newer adapters (i.e., CEX4 and later)
+   can be bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The reason for this is to
+   simplify the implementation by not needlessly complicating the design by
+   supporting older devices that will go out of service in the relatively near
+   future and for which there are few older systems on which to test.
+
+   The administrator, therefore, must take care to secure only AP queues that
+   can be bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The device type for a given AP
+   queue device can be read from the parent card's sysfs directory. For example,
+   to see the hardware type of the queue 05.0004:
+
+     cat /sys/bus/ap/devices/card05/hwtype
+
+   The hwtype must be 10 or higher (CEX4 or newer) in order to be bound to the
+   vfio_ap device driver.
+
+3. Create the mediated devices needed to configure the AP matrixes for the
+   three guests and to provide an interface to the vfio_ap driver for
+   use by the guests::
+
+     /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/
+     --- [mdev_supported_types]
+     ------ [vfio_ap-passthrough] (passthrough mediated matrix device type)
+     --------- create
+     --------- [devices]
+
+   To create the mediated devices for the three guests::
+
+	uuidgen > create
+	uuidgen > create
+	uuidgen > create
+
+	or
+
+	echo $uuid1 > create
+	echo $uuid2 > create
+	echo $uuid3 > create
+
+   This will create three mediated devices in the [devices] subdirectory named
+   after the UUID written to the create attribute file. We call them $uuid1,
+   $uuid2 and $uuid3 and this is the sysfs directory structure after creation::
+
+     /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/
+     --- [mdev_supported_types]
+     ------ [vfio_ap-passthrough]
+     --------- [devices]
+     ------------ [$uuid1]
+     --------------- assign_adapter
+     --------------- assign_control_domain
+     --------------- assign_domain
+     --------------- matrix
+     --------------- unassign_adapter
+     --------------- unassign_control_domain
+     --------------- unassign_domain
+
+     ------------ [$uuid2]
+     --------------- assign_adapter
+     --------------- assign_control_domain
+     --------------- assign_domain
+     --------------- matrix
+     --------------- unassign_adapter
+     ----------------unassign_control_domain
+     ----------------unassign_domain
+
+     ------------ [$uuid3]
+     --------------- assign_adapter
+     --------------- assign_control_domain
+     --------------- assign_domain
+     --------------- matrix
+     --------------- unassign_adapter
+     ----------------unassign_control_domain
+     ----------------unassign_domain
+
+4. The administrator now needs to configure the matrixes for the mediated
+   devices $uuid1 (for Guest1), $uuid2 (for Guest2) and $uuid3 (for Guest3).
+
+   This is how the matrix is configured for Guest1::
+
+      echo 5 > assign_adapter
+      echo 6 > assign_adapter
+      echo 4 > assign_domain
+      echo 0xab > assign_domain
+
+   Control domains can similarly be assigned using the assign_control_domain
+   sysfs file.
+
+   If a mistake is made configuring an adapter, domain or control domain,
+   you can use the unassign_xxx files to unassign the adapter, domain or
+   control domain.
+
+   To display the matrix configuration for Guest1::
+
+	 cat matrix
+
+   This is how the matrix is configured for Guest2::
+
+      echo 5 > assign_adapter
+      echo 0x47 > assign_domain
+      echo 0xff > assign_domain
+
+   This is how the matrix is configured for Guest3::
+
+      echo 6 > assign_adapter
+      echo 0x47 > assign_domain
+      echo 0xff > assign_domain
+
+   In order to successfully assign an adapter:
+
+   * The adapter number specified must represent a value from 0 up to the
+     maximum adapter number configured for the system. If an adapter number
+     higher than the maximum is specified, the operation will terminate with
+     an error (ENODEV).
+
+   * All APQNs that can be derived from the adapter ID and the IDs of
+     the previously assigned domains must be bound to the vfio_ap device
+     driver. If no domains have yet been assigned, then there must be at least
+     one APQN with the specified APID bound to the vfio_ap driver. If no such
+     APQNs are bound to the driver, the operation will terminate with an
+     error (EADDRNOTAVAIL).
+
+     No APQN that can be derived from the adapter ID and the IDs of the
+     previously assigned domains can be assigned to another mediated matrix
+     device. If an APQN is assigned to another mediated matrix device, the
+     operation will terminate with an error (EADDRINUSE).
+
+   In order to successfully assign a domain:
+
+   * The domain number specified must represent a value from 0 up to the
+     maximum domain number configured for the system. If a domain number
+     higher than the maximum is specified, the operation will terminate with
+     an error (ENODEV).
+
+   * All APQNs that can be derived from the domain ID and the IDs of
+     the previously assigned adapters must be bound to the vfio_ap device
+     driver. If no domains have yet been assigned, then there must be at least
+     one APQN with the specified APQI bound to the vfio_ap driver. If no such
+     APQNs are bound to the driver, the operation will terminate with an
+     error (EADDRNOTAVAIL).
+
+     No APQN that can be derived from the domain ID and the IDs of the
+     previously assigned adapters can be assigned to another mediated matrix
+     device. If an APQN is assigned to another mediated matrix device, the
+     operation will terminate with an error (EADDRINUSE).
+
+   In order to successfully assign a control domain, the domain number
+   specified must represent a value from 0 up to the maximum domain number
+   configured for the system. If a control domain number higher than the maximum
+   is specified, the operation will terminate with an error (ENODEV).
+
+5. Start Guest1::
+
+     /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu host,ap=on,apqci=on,apft=on \
+	-device vfio-ap,sysfsdev=/sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/$uuid1 ...
+
+7. Start Guest2::
+
+     /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu host,ap=on,apqci=on,apft=on \
+	-device vfio-ap,sysfsdev=/sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/$uuid2 ...
+
+7. Start Guest3::
+
+     /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu host,ap=on,apqci=on,apft=on \
+	-device vfio-ap,sysfsdev=/sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/$uuid3 ...
+
+When the guest is shut down, the mediated matrix devices may be removed.
+
+Using our example again, to remove the mediated matrix device $uuid1::
+
+   /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/
+      --- [mdev_supported_types]
+      ------ [vfio_ap-passthrough]
+      --------- [devices]
+      ------------ [$uuid1]
+      --------------- remove
+
+::
+
+   echo 1 > remove
+
+This will remove all of the mdev matrix device's sysfs structures including
+the mdev device itself. To recreate and reconfigure the mdev matrix device,
+all of the steps starting with step 3 will have to be performed again. Note
+that the remove will fail if a guest using the mdev is still running.
+
+It is not necessary to remove an mdev matrix device, but one may want to
+remove it if no guest will use it during the remaining lifetime of the linux
+host. If the mdev matrix device is removed, one may want to also reconfigure
+the pool of adapters and queues reserved for use by the default drivers.
+
+Limitations
+===========
+* The KVM/kernel interfaces do not provide a way to prevent restoring an APQN
+  to the default drivers pool of a queue that is still assigned to a mediated
+  device in use by a guest. It is incumbent upon the administrator to
+  ensure there is no mediated device in use by a guest to which the APQN is
+  assigned lest the host be given access to the private data of the AP queue
+  device such as a private key configured specifically for the guest.
+
+* Dynamically modifying the AP matrix for a running guest (which would amount to
+  hot(un)plug of AP devices for the guest) is currently not supported
+
+* Live guest migration is not supported for guests using AP devices.
