Subject: [GIT PULL 11/15] Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst: Explain rc/rrc delivery
Date: Wed,  1 Jun 2022 17:36:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220601153646.6791-12-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220601153646.6791-1-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com>

From: Janosch Frank <frankja@linux.ibm.com>

Let's explain in which situations the rc/rrc will set in struct
kvm_pv_cmd so it's clear that the struct members should be set to
0. rc/rrc are independent of the IOCTL return code.

+**Ultravisor return codes**
+The Ultravisor return (reason) codes are provided by the kernel if a
+Ultravisor call has been executed to achieve the results expected by
+the command. Therefore they are independent of the IOCTL return
+code. If KVM changes `rc`, its value will always be greater than 0
+hence setting it to 0 before issuing a PV command is advised to be
+able to detect a change of `rc`.

 **cmd values:**
