Subject: [PATCH] virtio-ccw: diag 500 may return a negative cookie
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 14:20:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181218132034.14863-1-cohuck@redhat.com> (raw)
If something goes wrong in the kvm io bus handling, the virtio-ccw
diagnose may return a negative error value in the cookie gpr.
Document this.
Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck <cohuck@redhat.com>

Even if the virtio spec is the correct place to specify what diag 500
subcode 3 does, we also should mention here that the cookie may be
an error.
