The UFS host software uses a combination of a host register set and
Transfer Request Descriptors in system memory to communicate with host
controller hardware. In its mmio space, a separate places are assigned
to UTP Transfer Request Descriptor ("utrd") list, and to UTP Task
Management Request Descriptor ("utmrd") list.
The provided API supports utrd-typed requests: nop out and device
management commands. It also supports utmrd-type requests:
task management requests. Other UPIU types are not supported for now.
We utilize the already existing code for tag and task work queues.
That is, all utrd-typed UPIUs are "disguised" as device management
commands. Similarly, the utmrd-typed UPUIs uses the task management
infrastructure.
It is up to the caller to fill the upiu request properly, as it will be
copied without any further input validations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
