Calling pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root enables AtomicOp requests to pci root port. AtomicOp requests will be enabled only if the completer and all intermediate pci bridges support PCI atomic operations. This, together with appropriate settings in the NVCONFIG should enable PCI atomic operations on the device. PCI atomic operations were first introduced in PCI Express Base Specification 2.1. The Supported operations are Swap (Unconditional Swap), CAS (Compare and Swap) and FetchAdd (Fetch and Add). Unlike other atomic operation modes PCI atomic operations gives the user the option to do atomic operations on local memory, without involving verbs api, without it compromising the operation's atomicity.

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.
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.
