[PATCH v2 20/23] docs: kvm: Add KVM_GET_XSAVE2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wei Wang <wei.w.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

Update the api doc with the new KVM_GET_XSAVE2 ioctl, which is used
when KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 is negotiated with the userspace. KVM_SET_XSAVE
ioctl is re-used when KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 is used. The kvm_xsave struct
is updated to support data size larger that the legacy hardcoded 4KB.
