Abstract
Processing within a computing environment is facilitated by filtering requests of the computing environment. A processing unit that receives a request determines whether it is to perform the request. This determination is made by, for instance, comparing an identifier of the request with an identifier of the processing unit making the determination. If there is a mismatch, then the request is blocked. Other processing within the computing environment is also facilitated by selectively using buffer entries. The selection criteria is based, for instance, on identifier information.

18. A method of processing requests of a computing environment, said method comprising:
-
determining whether a request associated with one processing unit of a logically partitioned computing environment is to be blocked by another processing unit of the logically partitioned computing environment, wherein the determining comprises comparing a logical partition identifier of the request with a logical partition identifier of the another processing unit; and
blocking the request by the another processing unit, in response to the comparing indicating a mismatch. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
