Subject: [PATCH] docs: kvm: Fix KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL API doc
Date: Fri, 1 May 2020 15:34:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200501193404.GA19745@josh-ZenBook> (raw)
The KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL ioctl signals to supported KVM guests
that the hypervisor has paused it. This updates the documentation
to reflect that the guest, not the host is notified by this API.
