[PATCH] docs: kvm: Fix KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL API doc

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

 



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.
