From 9df2d660c7f37aed7244ec0b920c0749dbb69167 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2019 13:28:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Clarify capability requirements for KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE Userspace is only supposed to use KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE when there is some vcpu feature that can actually be finalized. This means that documenting KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE as available or not depending on the capabilities present is not helpful. This patch amends the documentation to describe availability in terms of which capability is required for each finalizable feature instead. In any case, userspace sees the same error (EINVAL) regardless of whether the given feature is not present or KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE is not implemented at all. No functional change.
