H_SVM_PAGE_IN hcall takes a flag parameter. This parameter specifies the way in which a page will be treated. H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED indicates that the page will be shared with the Secure VM, and H_PAGE_IN_SHARED indicates that the page will not be shared but its contents will be copied.Looks like you got the definitions of shared and non-shared interchanged.
Yes. Realized it after sending the patch. Will fix it.

However H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED is not defined in the header file, though it is defined and documented in the API captured in Documentation/powerpc/ultravisor.rst Define H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED in the header file.What is the use of defining this? Is this used directly in any place? Or, are youp planning to introduce such a usage?
I know the Hypervisor code currently has no use for that define. It assumes H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED to be !H_PAGE_IN_SHARED. But H_PAGE_IN_NONSHARED is defined in the Ultravisor API, and hence has to be captured in the header, to stay consistent. RP
