KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE
:Capability: KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED_ASYNC_DISABLE
Prepare the current protected VM for asynchronous teardown. Most
resources used by the current protected VM will be set aside for a
subsequent asynchronous teardown. The current protected VM will then
resume execution immediately as non-protected. There can be at most
one protected VM prepared for asynchronous teardown at any time. If
a protected VM had already been prepared for teardown without
subsequently calling KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM, this call will
fail. In that case, the userspace process should issue a normal
KVM_PV_DISABLE. The resources set aside with this call will need to
be cleaned up with a subsequent call to KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM
or KVM_PV_DISABLE, otherwise they will be cleaned up when KVM
terminates. KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE can be called again as soon
as cleanup starts, i.e. before KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM finishes.
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM
:Capability: KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED_ASYNC_DISABLE
Tear down the protected VM previously prepared for teardown with
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE. The resources that had been set aside
will be freed during the execution of this command. This PV command
should ideally be issued by userspace from a separate thread. If a
fatal signal is received (or the process terminates naturally), the
command will terminate immediately without completing, and the normal
KVM shutdown procedure will take care of cleaning up all remaining
protected VMs, including the ones whose teardown was interrupted by
process termination.
