Subject: [PATCH v4 2/9] Documentation: KVM: s390: Describe KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2022 17:53:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221213165405.2953539-3-scgl@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221213165405.2953539-1-scgl@linux.ibm.com>

Describe the semantics of the new KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG flag for
absolute vm write memops which allows user space to perform (storage key
checked) cmpxchg operations on guest memory.

+In this case, instead of doing an unconditional write, the access occurs
+only if the target location contains the value pointed to by "old_addr".
+This is performed as an atomic cmpxchg with the length specified by the "size"
+parameter. "size" must be a power of two up to and including 16.
+If the exchange did not take place because the target value doesn't match the
+old value, KVM_S390_MEMOP_R_NO_XCHG is returned.
+In this case the value "old_addr" points to is replaced by the target value.
