REFBK Prolog

 NAME       : HCPREFBK
 DESCRIPTION: Page References Services Parameter Block
 DSECT      : REFBK
 FUNCTION   : The REFBK is used to pass parameters for
              diagnose X'258'.
 LOCATED BY : Guest Rx register.
 CREATED BY : Created in the guest virtual machine's storage and
              copied to VMDVOBUF for CP to use.
 DELETED BY : Deleted by the guest virtual machine.
 SERIALIZED : Guest Virtual Machine is responsible.
 COMMENTS   : Changes to this control block may require macros
              PFAULT and REFPAGE to also change.

The page list is a set of ALET/page numbers. ****************----------- For function code 03, BLOCK form of INFORM function, this field contains the starting absolute page address of a range of pages. 000C 12 Bitstring 3 * First part of address. 000F 15 Bitstring 1 REFADDR3 Used to check last byte. 0010 16 Signed 4 REFCOUNT For function code 02, LIST form of INFORM function, this field contains the count of ALET/page number pairs in the list pointed to by REFADDR. 00000002 REFCTMIN 2 Minimum number of entries for list form. 00004000 REFCTMAX 16384 Maximum number of entries for list form. ****************----------- 00000010 REFGROUP REFCOUNT For function code 03, BLOCK form of INFORM function, this field contains the count of the number of span of pages that are about to be referenced. 00040000 REFGRPMX 262144 Maximum number of groups for block form. 0014 20 Signed 4 REFSBGRP For function code 03, BLOCK form of INFORM function, this field contains the count of the number of subgroup that are about to be referenced. 00040000 REFSGPMX REFGRPMX Maximum number of subgroups for block form. 0018 24 Signed 4 REFSPAN For function code 03, BLOCK form of INFORM function, this field contains the number of consecutive pages that should be condisered as a single span of pages within the range of pages. 00040000 REFSPNMX REFGRPMX Maximum number of spans for block form. 001C 28 Signed 4 REFSKIP For function code 03, BLOCK form of INFORM function, this field contains the number of pages that should be considered as a gap between each block. This value is number of pages calculated by subtracting any block ending address (plus one) from the next block starting address. 00020000 REFSKPMX 131072 Maximum number of skips for block form. 0020 32 Bitstring 1 REFDIREC Byte used to indicate ascending and descending order. It also indicates whether REFADDR is the lowest address or the highest. This should be 1 (ascending) or descending (-1), but the value is not validated. Bit 0 is check to see if it is ascending (0) or descending (1). 1111 1111 REFDESCD X'FF' Minus one to indicate descending order. 0021 33 Bitstring 1 * (3) Reserved for IBM use. 0024 36 Signed 4 * Reserved for IBM use. 00000028 REFLEN *-REFBK REFBK length in bytes. 00000005 REFSIZE (REFLEN+7)/8 REFBK size in doublewords This will cause an assembly error if this control block gets too large to fit into VMDVOBUF. 0028 40 Address 4 * (0) IEV075 will resu lt if REFSIZE*8 GT 256 @P3714FM This DSECT used to reference the list form of REFPAGE.
