the KVM_CAP_MULTI_ADDRESS_SPACE capability.
The bits in the dirty bitmap are cleared before the ioctl returns, unless
-KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT is enabled. For more information,
+KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 is enabled. For more information,
see the description of the capability.
4.9 KVM_SET_MEMORY_ALIAS
4.117 KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG (vm ioctl)
-Capability: KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT
+Capability: KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2
Architectures: x86
Type: vm ioctl
Parameters: struct kvm_dirty_log (in)
They must be less than the value that KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION returns for
the KVM_CAP_MULTI_ADDRESS_SPACE capability.
-This ioctl is mostly useful when KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT
+This ioctl is mostly useful when KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2
is enabled; for more information, see the description of the capability.
However, it can always be used as long as KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION confirms
-that KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT is present.
+that KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 is present.
4.118 KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID
* For the new DR6 bits, note that bit 16 is set iff the #DB exception
will clear DR6.RTM.
-7.18 KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT
+7.18 KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2
Architectures: all
Parameters: args[0] whether feature should be enabled or not
helps reducing this time, improving guest performance and reducing the
number of dirty log false positives.
+KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 was previously available under the name
+KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT, but the implementation had bugs that make
+it hard or impossible to use it correctly. The availability of
+KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 signals that those bugs are fixed.
+Userspace should not try to use KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT.
