Selective purging of guest entries of structures associated with address translation

A computer system for facilitating processing in a computing environment, said computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, said method comprising:
• obtaining a request to purge entries of a structure associated with address translation;
• determining, based on obtaining the request, whether selective purging of the structure associated with address translation is to be performed;
• and
• selectively purging one or more entries of the structure associated with address translation, based on determining that selective purging is to be performed, the selectively purging clearing the one or more entries of the structure associated with address translation for a selected guest operating system of the computing environment and leaving one or more other entries of one or more other guest operating systems in the structure associated with address translation, the selected guest operating system and the one or more other guest operating systems being managed by a host of the computing environment.

A computer-implemented method of facilitating processing in a computing environment, said computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, a request to purge entries of a structure associated with address translation;
• determining, based on obtaining the request, whether selective purging of the structure associated with address translation is to be performed;
• and
• selectively purging one or more entries of the structure associated with address translation, based on determining that selective purging is to be performed, the selectively purging clearing the one or more entries of the structure associated with address translation for a selected guest operating system of the computing environment and leaving one or more other entries of one or more other guest operating systems in the structure associated with address translation, the selected guest operating system and the one or more other guest operating systems being managed by a host of the computing environment.
