PowerVM introduces two different type of credits: Default and Quality of service (QoS). The total number of default credits available on each LPAR depends on CPU resources configured. But these credits can be shared or over-committed across LPARs in shared mode which can result in paste command failure (RMA_busy). To avoid NX HW contention, the hypervisor ntroduces QoS credit type which makes sure guaranteed access to NX esources. The system admins can assign QoS credits or each LPAR via HMC. Default credit type is used to allocate a VAS window by default as on PowerVM implementation. But the process can pass VAS_TX_WIN_FLAG_QOS_CREDIT flag with VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl to open QoS type window.
