Hi Christian, Janosch, Heiko, Here is a pair of patches to replace the RFC I recently sent [1]. Patch 1 performs the host/guest access register swap that Christian suggested (instead of a full sync_reg/store_reg process). Patch 2 provides a selftest patch that exercises this scenario. Applying patch 2 without patch 1 fails in the following way: [eric@host linux]# ./tools/testing/selftests/kvm/s390x/memop TAP version 13 1..16 ok 1 simple copy ok 2 generic error checks ok 3 copy with storage keys ok 4 cmpxchg with storage keys ok 5 concurrently cmpxchg with storage keys ok 6 copy with key storage protection override ok 7 copy with key fetch protection ok 8 copy with key fetch protection override ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== s390x/memop.c:186: !r pid=5720 tid=5720 errno=4 - Interrupted system call 1 0x00000000010042af: memop_ioctl at memop.c:186 (discriminator 3) 2 0x0000000001006697: test_copy_access_register at memop.c:400 (discriminator 2) 3 0x0000000001002aaf: main at memop.c:1181 4 0x000003ffaec33a5b: ?? ??:0 5 0x000003ffaec33b5d: ?? ??:0 6 0x0000000001002ba9: _start at ??:? KVM_S390_MEM_OP failed, rc: 40 errno: 4 (Interrupted system call) Thoughts on this approach?
