[PATCH v7 0/6] s390/vfio-ap: Fix pre-existing bugs in vfio_ap device driver
From: Anthony Krowiak
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 18:35:52 EST
The sashiko AI reported several pre-existing bugs in the vfio_ap device
driver code while reviewing unrelated patches. This series fixes four
such bugs.
Change log v6 => v7:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Patch: s390/vfio-ap: fix queue state leakage to guest and host
apq_reset_check()
- Fixed missing closing brace on -EIO early-return block that
made the AP_RESET_MAX_WAIT timeout check unreachable.
- Introduced apq_reset_finalize() helper to copy the final
TAPQ status word to q->reset_status and set
q->reset_status.response_code to AP_RESPONSE_NORMAL only
when zeroization is confirmed (ret == 0). Replaces the
done: label and goto.
- Both pre-timeout and within-timeout completion paths now
call apq_reset_finalize() directly.
apq_status_check()
- Signature changed from (int apqn, ...) to
(struct vfio_ap_queue *q, ...) to support ratelimited
warning reporting.
vfio_ap_mdev_remove_queue()
- Removed post-lock fallback unbounded reset block that had
a use-after-free risk on q->matrix_mdev after
release_update_locks_for_mdev().
Patch: s390/vfio-ap: replace guest-reachable WARNs with
ratelimited warnings and add dmesg visibility to DBF_WARNs
This is a new patch created in response to review comments of the
v6 series.
vfio_ap_wait_for_irqclear()
- Signature changed from (int apqn) to
(struct vfio_ap_queue *q).
- Replaced WARN_ONCE calls with report_tapq_rc() and
report_irqclear_timeout().
vfio_ap_irq_disable()
- Replaced three WARN_ONCE calls with
report_aqic_disable_error().
- Added AP_RESPONSE_STATE_CHANGE_IN_PROGRESS to retry case.
- Added AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_GISA,
AP_RESPONSE_ASSOC_SECRET_NOT_UNIQUE and
AP_RESPONSE_ASSOC_FAILED as explicit end_fail cases.
vfio_ap_irq_enable()
- Added dev_warn_ratelimited() alongside each
VFIO_AP_DBF_WARN() call for dmesg visibility.
handle_pqap()
- Added pr_warn_ratelimited() for AIV facility not installed
and hook not registered cases.
- Added dev_warn_ratelimited() for mdev not in use and queue
not bound cases.
apq_status_check()
- Replaced WARN with report_tapq_rc().
vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue()
- Replaced WARN with report_zapq_rc().
- Removed AP_RESPONSE_BUSY from async-reset case (not a
valid ZAPQ response code).
New functions introduced:
- apq_reset_finalize()
- report_tapq_rc()
- report_irqclear_timeout()
- report_aqic_disable_error()
- report_zapq_rc()
