This does not belong here. Function code 3 is one of 7 function codes
that can be sent with the PQAP instruction. This belongs in the PQAP
hook code.

On one hand, effectively I would prefer to put the code in the VFIO
driver code.
On the other hand, doing this would lead to export the code for
test_kvm_facility() and kvm_s390_inject_program_int() from the kvm-s390.h

I choose not to export these functions from the KVM code.

Would like opinion from KVM maintainers?

Looking at this (and without access to the specification...), I think
the check for problem state makes sense in here (if this applies to all
PQAP functions equally, which seems likely). The check for the facility
makes more sense in the handler. You can probably still inject the
specification exception here if you use a clever return code.


If there is no objection on exporting the KVM functions... I can do this.

I do not understand why you would have to export KVM functions to place
the check for FC 0x03 in the pqap hook? What am I missing here? Maybe
you misunderstood my comment? The following is the only code I suggested
you move:

+ fc = vcpu->run->s.regs.gprs[0] >> 24;
+ if (fc != 0x03)
+ return -EOPNOTSUPP;

What does that have to do with test_kvm_facility() and
kvm_s390_inject_program_int()? Please explain.


Another option: Provide a way to register a callback per function code;
this allows you to still do the check here and extend it later for
other function codes (which will probably be indicated by another
facility).

I like this option even better.
