From d96a094c987f5409f0037aa4964eab989f6f4ea8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 12:57:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] uio_hv_generic: check that host supports monitor page [ Upstream commit 06028d15177a1b406b7b075ea47c6a352732f23a ] In order for userspace application to signal host, it needs the host to support the monitor page property. Check for the flag and fail if this is not supported.
