What about the situation when vfio_ap_mdev_group_notifier() is called to
tell us that our pointer to KVM is about to become invalid? Do we
need to
clean up the IRQ stuff there?
After reading this question, I decided to do some tracing using
printk's and learned that the vfio_ap_mdev_group_notifier()
function does not get called when the guest is shutdown. The reason
for this is because the vfio_ap_mdev_release() function, which is called
before the KVM pointer is invalidated, unregisters the group notifier.
I took a look at some of the other drivers that register a group
notifier in the mdev_parent_ops.open callback and each unregistered
the notifier in the mdev_parent_ops.release callback.
So, to answer your question, there is no need to cleanup the IRQ
stuff in the vfio_ap_mdev_group_notifier() function since it will
not get called when the KVM pointer is invalidated. The cleanup
should be done in the vfio_ap_mdev_release() function that gets
called when the mdev fd is closed.
Immediately after the reset of a queue, a call is made to disable
interrupts for the queue. This is entirely unnecessary because the
reset of
a queue disables interrupts, so this will be removed.
Makes sense.
Since interrupt processing may have been enabled by the guest, it
may also
be necessary to clean up the resources used for interrupt
processing. Part
of the cleanup operation requires a reference to KVM, so a check is
also
being added to ensure the reference to KVM exists. The reason is
because
the release callback - invoked when userspace closes the mdev fd -
removes
the reference to KVM. When the remove callback - called when the
mdev is
removed from sysfs - is subsequently invoked, there will be no
reference to
KVM when the cleanup is performed.
Please see below in the code.
This patch will also do a bit of refactoring due to the fact that the
remove callback, implemented in vfio_ap_drv.c, disables the queue after
resetting it. Instead of the remove callback making a call into the
vfio_ap_ops.c to clean up the resources used for interrupt processing,
let's move the probe and remove callbacks into the vfio_ap_ops.c
file keep all code related to managing queues in a single file.
It would have been helpful to split out the refactoring as a separate
patch. This way it is harder to review the code that got moved, because
it is intermingled with the changes that intend to change behavior.
I suppose I can do that.

Here is the check that the kvm reference exists, you mentioned in the
cover letter. You make only the gisc_unregister depend on it, because
that's what is going to explode.
But I'm actually wondering if "KVM is gone but we still haven't cleaned
up our aqic resources" is valid. I argue that it is not. The two
resources we manage are the gisc registration and the pinned page. I
argue that it makes on sense to keep what was the guests page pinned,
if here is no guest associated (we don't have KVM).
I assume the cleanup is supposed to be atomic from the perspective of
other threads/contexts, so I expect the cleanup either to be fully done
or not not entered the critical section.
So !kvm && (q->saved_isc != VFIO_AP_ISC_INVALID || q->saved_pfn) is a
bug. Isn't it?
In that sense this change would only hide the actual problem.
Is the scenario we are talking about something that can happen, or is
this just about programming defensively?
In any case, I don't think this is a good idea. We can be defensive
about it, but we have to do it differently.

Is it safe to do vfio_ap_free_aqic_resources() at this point? I don't
think so. I mean does the current code (and vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue()
in particular guarantee that the reset is actually done when we arrive
here)? BTW, I think we have a similar problem with the current code as
well.
If the return code from the vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue() function
is zero, then yes, we are guaranteed the reset was done and the
queue is empty. The function returns a non-zero return code if
the reset fails or the queue the reset did not complete within a given
amount of time, so maybe we shouldn't free AQIC resources when
we get a non-zero return code from the reset function?
There are three occasions when the vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queues()
is called:
1. When the VFIO_DEVICE_RESET ioctl is invoked from userspace
(i.e., when the guest is started)
2. When the mdev fd is closed (vfio_ap_mdev_release())
3. When the mdev is removed (vfio_ap_mdev_remove())
The IRQ resources are initialized when the PQAP(AQIC)
is intercepted to enable interrupts. This would occur after
the guest boots and the AP bus initializes. So, 1 would
presumably occur before that happens. I couldn't find
anywhere in the AP bus or zcrypt code where a PQAP(AQIC)
is executed to disable interrupts, so my assumption is
that IRQ disablement is accomplished by a reset on
the guest. I'll have to ask Harald about that. So, 2 would
occur when the guest is about to terminate and 3
would occur only after the guest is terminated. In any
case, it seems that IRQ resources should be cleaned up.
Maybe it would be more appropriate to do that in the
vfio_ap_mdev_release() and vfio_ap_mdev_remove()
functions themselves?
After further review, I've come to the conclusion it makes
sense to cleanup the IRQ resources only in the vfio_ap_mdev_release()
function for the following reasons:
1. The KVM pointer should still be available because it is not invalidated
until after the release callback is invoked.
2. The release callback is part of normal guest termination, so interrupt
processing will presumably no longer be necessary for the guest.
3. The zcrypt drivers on the guest do not disable interrupt processing
via the PQAP(AQIC) instruction (I verified this with Harald), so
there is
no opportunity to clean up IRQ on interception of IRQ disable.
4. It makes no sense to clean up IRQ resources in the vfio_ap_mdev_remove()
function because the function disallows removal of the mdev when
the KVM
pointer is still valid because it is assumed the guest is still
running at that point
Under what circumstances do we expect !q? If we don't, then we need to
complain one way or another.
In the current code (i.e., prior to introducing the subsequent hot
plug patches), an APQN can not be assigned to an mdev unless it
references a queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver; however,
there is nothing preventing a queue device from getting unbound
while the guest is running (one of the problems mostly resolved by this
series). In that case, q would be NULL.
I believe that each time we call vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue(), we will
also want to call vfio_ap_free_aqic_resources(q) to clean up our aqic
resources associated with the queue -- if any. So I would really prefer
having a function that does both.
As stated above, I don't believe PQAP(AQIC) is ever called by
the AP bus or zcrypt to disable IRQs, but I could be wrong about
that so I'll verify with Harald. If that is the case, then it would
make sense to free IRQ resources when a queue completes.
I can either add a function that does both and call it instead of
vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue(). What say you?

What is the benefit of rewriting this? You introduced
queue just to do queue->ap_dev to get to the apdev you
have in hand in the first place.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking. This function is
the callback function specified via the function pointer
specified via the remove field of the struct ap_driver
when the vfio_ap device driver is registered with the
AP bus. That callback function takes a struct ap_device
as a parameter. What am I missing here?
