+Overview
+========
+TPH (TLP Processing Hints) is a PCIe feature that allows endpoint devices
+to provide optimization hints, such as desired caching behavior, for
+requests that target memory space. These hints, in a format called steering
+tags, are provided in the requester's TLP headers and can empower the system
+hardware, including the Root Complex, to optimize the utilization of platform
+resources for the requests.
+
+User Guide
+==========
+
+Kernel Options
+--------------
+There are two kernel command line options available to control TPH feature
+
+   * "notph": TPH will be disabled for all endpoint devices.
+   * "nostmode": TPH will be enabled but the ST Mode will be forced to "No ST Mode".
+
+Device Driver API
+-----------------
+In brief, an endpoint device driver using the TPH interface to configure
+Interrupt Vector Mode will call pcie_tph_set_st() when setting up MSI-X
+interrupts as shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    for (i = 0, j = 0; i < nr_rings; i++) {
+        ...
+        rc = request_irq(irq->vector, irq->handler, flags, irq->name, NULL);
+        ...
+        if (!pcie_tph_set_st(pdev, i, cpumask_first(irq->cpu_mask),
+                             TPH_MEM_TYPE_VM, PCI_TPH_REQ_TPH_ONLY))
+               pr_err("Error in configuring steering tag\n");
+        ...
+    }
+
+If a device only supports TPH vendor specific mode, its driver can call
+pcie_tph_get_st() to retrieve the steering tag for a specific CPU and uses
+the tag to control TPH behavior.
