The vfio_ap device driver registers a group notifier with VFIO when the
file descriptor for a VFIO mediated device for a KVM guest is opened to
receive notification that the KVM pointer is set (VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM
event). When the KVM pointer is set, the vfio_ap driver stashes the pointer
and calls the kvm_get_kvm() function to increment its reference counter.
When the notifier is called to make notification that the KVM pointer has
been set to NULL, the driver should clean up any resources associated with
the KVM pointer and decrement its reference counter. The current
implementation does not take care of this clean up.

This reset probably does not belong here since there is no
reason to reset the queues in the group notifier (see below).
What about kvm_s390_gisc_unregister()? That needs a valid kvm
pointer, or? Or is it OK to not pair a kvm_s390_gisc_register()
with an kvm_s390_gisc_unregister()?

I probably should have been more specific about what I meant.
I was thinking that the reset should not be dependent upon
whether there is a KVM pointer or not since this function is
also called from the release callback. On the other hand,
the vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queues function calls the
vfio_ap_irq_disable (AQIC) function after each queue is reset.
The vfio_ap_irq_disable function also cleans up the AQIC
resources which requires that the KVM point is valid, so if
the vfio_ap_reset_queues function is not called with a
valid KVM pointer, that could result in an exception.

The thing is, it is unnecessary to disable interrupts after
resetting a queue because the reset disables interrupts,
so I think I should include a patch for this fix that does the
following:

1. Removes the disabling of interrupts subsequent to resetting
    a queue.
2. Includes the cleanup of AQIC resources when a queue is
    reset if a KVM pointer is present.

This will allow us to keep the reset in the function above as well
as the other places from which reset is executed.

Halil

The reset should be done in the release callback only regardless
of whether the KVM pointer exists or not.
