From dad7eefbd048a2f44c990303751159671e988d13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Halil Pasic Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 13:26:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: document FLIC behavior on unsupported FLIC behavior deviates from the API documentation in reporting EINVAL instead of ENXIO for KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR when the group or attribute is unknown/unsupported. Unfortunately this can not be fixed for historical reasons. Let us at least have it documented.
