Return Value

Information about exits caused by the virtual processor executing an I/O port instruction (IN, OUT, INS, and OUTS) is provided in the WHV_X64_IO_PORT_ACCESS_CONTEXT structure. The context information includes the I/O port address, which allows the virtualization stack to forward the exit to the device emulation logic of the device that uses the I/O port accessed by the virtual processor.
