The current code allows the guest to start channel programs via START SUBCHANNEL, and to issue HALT SUBCHANNEL and CLEAR SUBCHANNEL. +Currently all channel programs are prefetched, regardless of the +p-bit setting in the ORB. As a result, self modifying channel +programs are not supported. For this reason, IPL has to be handled as +a special case by a userspace/guest program; this has been implemented +in QEMU's s390-ccw bios as of QEMU 4.1. + vfio-ccw supports classic (command mode) channel I/O only. Transport mode (HPF) is not supported. |
