  • Publication number: 20240069980
    Abstract: Method, computer program product, and computer system are provided. A first migration of a running logical partition (LPAR) is performed from a first-generation computer to a second-generation computer. Availability of a facility differs between the first- and second-generation computers. Upon completion of the first migration, an operating system of the running LPAR detects whether a required facility in use on the first-generation computer is available on the second-generation computer. Operating system takes an action to continue an orderly execution of the LPAR, the operating system, and threads of an application in the LPAR depending on the availability of the required facility. A second migration is performed of the running LPAR from the second-generation computer back to the first-generation computer. The required facility is available on the first-generation computer. The operating system restores access to threads of the application to the required facility.

  • Publication number: 20230237145
    Abstract: Accelerator access control whereby an application's access to an accelerator is revoked in order to allow the system to perform a system function. In one or more embodiments, when an application is executing, a credit system is utilized to provide credits for controlled access to the accelerator. When request information is received to remove access to a credit associated with the application's access to the accelerator, the credit is marked to fail with operating system interfaces. Also, in one or more embodiments, if the credit is in use for accessing the accelerator, an effective address associated with the credit is unmapped from the accelerator.

  • Publication number: 20230052672
    Abstract: Within an interrupt routing structure, an interrupt handler is registered, the registering comprising storing a pointer to the interrupt handler in the interrupt routing structure. Responsive to determining that a received interrupt comprises a queuing bypass flag in a set state, the interrupt handler is executed, the executing bypassing an interrupt queueing mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8949798
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for returning a return code to an error hook in an application using a framework. An identifier and a pass-through are received from the error hook. The error hook is software code in the application. The pass-through is a set of parameters. If the identifier has an active status, a set of framework conditions is retrieved using the identifier. If the set of framework conditions is met, an inject callback is retrieved using the error identifier. The inject callback is called with the error identifier and the pass-through. An inject callback return code is received. If the inject callback return code is an execute return code, the execute return code is returned to the error hook.
