 Once configured, the device can then be made ready for use by calling the
 ``rte_rawdev_start()`` API.
 
+Performing Data Copies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To perform data copies using IOAT rawdev devices, the functions
+``rte_ioat_enqueue_copy()`` and ``rte_ioat_do_copies()`` should be used.
+Once copies have been completed, the completion will be reported back when
+the application calls ``rte_ioat_completed_copies()``.
+
+The ``rte_ioat_enqueue_copy()`` function enqueues a single copy to the
+device ring for copying at a later point. The parameters to that function
+include the physical addresses of both the source and destination buffers,
+as well as two "handles" to be returned to the user when the copy is
+completed. These handles can be arbitrary values, but two are provided so
+that the library can track handles for both source and destination on
+behalf of the user, e.g. virtual addresses for the buffers, or mbuf
+pointers if packet data is being copied.
+
+While the ``rte_ioat_enqueue_copy()`` function enqueues a copy operation on
+the device ring, the copy will not actually be performed until after the
+application calls the ``rte_ioat_do_copies()`` function. This function
+informs the device hardware of the elements enqueued on the ring, and the
+device will begin to process them. It is expected that, for efficiency
+reasons, a burst of operations will be enqueued to the device via multiple
+enqueue calls between calls to the ``rte_ioat_do_copies()`` function.
+
+The following code from ``test_ioat_rawdev.c`` demonstrates how to enqueue
+a burst of copies to the device and start the hardware processing of them:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+        struct rte_mbuf *srcs[32], *dsts[32];
+        unsigned int j;
+
+        for (i = 0; i < RTE_DIM(srcs); i++) {
+                char *src_data;
+
+                srcs[i] = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(pool);
+                dsts[i] = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(pool);
+                srcs[i]->data_len = srcs[i]->pkt_len = length;
+                dsts[i]->data_len = dsts[i]->pkt_len = length;
+                src_data = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(srcs[i], char *);
+
+                for (j = 0; j < length; j++)
+                        src_data[j] = rand() & 0xFF;
+
+                if (rte_ioat_enqueue_copy(dev_id,
+                                srcs[i]->buf_iova + srcs[i]->data_off,
+                                dsts[i]->buf_iova + dsts[i]->data_off,
+                                length,
+                                (uintptr_t)srcs[i],
+                                (uintptr_t)dsts[i],
+                                0 /* nofence */) != 1) {
+                        printf("Error with rte_ioat_enqueue_copy for buffer %u\n",
+                                        i);
+                        return -1;
+                }
+        }
+        rte_ioat_do_copies(dev_id);
+
+To retrieve information about completed copies, the API
+``rte_ioat_completed_copies()`` should be used. This API will return to the
+application a set of completion handles passed in when the relevant copies
+were enqueued.
+
+The following code from ``test_ioat_rawdev.c`` shows the test code
+retrieving information about the completed copies and validating the data
+is correct before freeing the data buffers using the returned handles:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+        if (rte_ioat_completed_copies(dev_id, 64, (void *)completed_src,
+                        (void *)completed_dst) != RTE_DIM(srcs)) {
+                printf("Error with rte_ioat_completed_copies\n");
+                return -1;
+        }
+        for (i = 0; i < RTE_DIM(srcs); i++) {
+                char *src_data, *dst_data;
+
+                if (completed_src[i] != srcs[i]) {
+                        printf("Error with source pointer %u\n", i);
+                        return -1;
+                }
+                if (completed_dst[i] != dsts[i]) {
+                        printf("Error with dest pointer %u\n", i);
+                        return -1;
+                }
+
+                src_data = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(srcs[i], char *);
+                dst_data = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(dsts[i], char *);
+                for (j = 0; j < length; j++)
+                        if (src_data[j] != dst_data[j]) {
+                                printf("Error with copy of packet %u, byte %u\n",
