This exception is also raised directly at the corresponding VCPU if the flag KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION is set. +On protection exceptions, unless specified otherwise, the injected +translation-exception identifier (TEID) indicates suppression. If the KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION flag is set, storage key protection is also in effect and may cause exceptions if accesses are prohibited given the access key designated by "key"; the valid range is 0..15. KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION is available if KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION is > 0. +Since the accessed memory may span multiple pages and those pages might have +different storage keys, it is possible that a protection exception occurs +after memory has been modified. In this case, if the exception is injected, +the TEID does not indicate suppression. Absolute read/write: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
