VAS windows can be closed in the hypervisor due to lost credits when the core is removed and the kernel gets fault for NX requests on these inactive windows. If the NX requests are issued on these inactive windows, OS gets page faults and the paste failure will be returned to the user space. If the lost credits are available later with core add, reopen these windows and set them active. Later when the OS sees page faults on these active windows, it creates mapping on the new paste address. Then the user space can continue to use these windows and send HW compression requests to NX successfully.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
