[PATCH v16 4/6] KVM: s390: pv: avoid export before import if possible

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

 



If the appropriate UV feature bit is set, there is no need to perform
an export before import.

The misc feature indicates, among other things, that importing a shared
page from a different protected VM will automatically also transfer its
ownership.
