The file Documentation/powerpc/ultravisor.rst contains:

    Only valid value(s) in ``flags`` are:

        * H_PAGE_IN_SHARED which indicates that the page is to be shared
	  with the Ultravisor.

        * H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED indicates that the UV is not anymore
          interested in the page. Applicable if the page is a shared page.

The flag H_PAGE_IN_SHARED exists in the Linux kernel
(arch/powerpc/include/asm/hvcall.h), but the flag H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED does
not.  Should the documentation be changed in some way?

Currently the code assumes H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED as !H_PAGE_IN_SHARED.

We need to patch the kernel to explicitly define the flag.
I will submit a patch towards this.

Thanks,

H_SVM_PAGE_IN hcall takes a flag parameter. This parameter specifies the
way in which a page will be treated.  H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED indicates
that the page will be shared with the Secure VM, and H_PAGE_IN_SHARED
indicates that the page will not be shared but its contents will
be copied.

However H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED is not defined in the header file, though
it is defined and documented in the API captured in
Documentation/powerpc/ultravisor.rst

Define H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED in the header file.

Looks like you got the definitions of shared and non-shared interchanged.

What is the use of defining this? Is this used directly in any place?
Or, are youp planning to introduce such a usage?

Bharata.

Yes. Realized it after sending the patch. Will fix it.

I know the Hypervisor code currently has no use for that define.
It assumes  H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED to be !H_PAGE_IN_SHARED.

But H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED is defined in the Ultravisor API, and hence has
to be captured in the header, to stay consistent.
