Channel I/O honors storage keys and is performed on absolute memory. For I/O emulation user space therefore needs to be able to do key checked accesses. The vm IOCTL supports read/write accesses, as well as checking if an access would succeed. Unlike relying on KVM_S390_GET_SKEYS for key checking would, the vm IOCTL performs the check in lockstep with the read or write, by, ultimately, mapping the access to move instructions that support key protection checking with a supplied key. Fetch and storage protection override are not applicable to absolute accesses and so are not applied as they are when using the vcpu memop.

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.
