s390/pci: Improve function measurement state management
This commit decouples the user's desired function measurement state in
zdev->statistics_on from the firmware enablement state via
zpci_fmb_request_on(), zpci_fmb_request_off(), zpci_fmb_enable(), and
zpci_fmb_disable(). It also preserves and restores function measurement
across device enable, disable, and re-enable paths.

[Severity: Medium]
In arch/s390/pci/pci.c, zpci_fmb_enable() allocates (or reuses and zeroes)
zdev->fmb via kmem_cache_zalloc() before calling zpci_mod_fc(), and leaves
zdev->fmb non-NULL if zpci_mod_fc() fails and returns -EIO:
if (!zdev->fmb) {
zdev->fmb = kmem_cache_zalloc(zdev_fmb_cache, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!zdev->fmb)
return -ENOMEM;
} else {
/* reuse the same FMB buffer for as long as the zdev lives */
memset(zdev->fmb, 0, sizeof(*zdev->fmb));
}
...
cc = zpci_mod_fc(req, &fib, &status);
if (cc)
return -EIO;
If zpci_fmb_enable() fails in zpci_mod_fc() during pcibios_enable_device(),
zpci_reenable_device(), or pci_perf_seq_write() -> zpci_fmb_request_on(),
both zdev->statistics_on and zdev->fmb remain set while function
measurement is disabled in firmware.
When that happens, won't the (zdev->statistics_on && zdev->fmb) check in
zpci_fmb_request_on() reject any subsequent retry from pci_perf_seq_write()
with -EINVAL instead of calling zpci_fmb_enable()?
Also, in arch/s390/pci/pci_debug.c, pci_perf_show() only checks
zdev->statistics_on and zdev->fmb:
mutex_lock(&zdev->fmb_lock);
if (!zdev->statistics_on || !zdev->fmb) {
mutex_unlock(&zdev->fmb_lock);
seq_puts(m, "FMB statistics disabled\n");
return 0;
}
Wouldn't pci_perf_show() report zeroed or stale counters instead of
"FMB statistics disabled" when zpci_mod_fc() fails after zdev->fmb has been
allocated?

[Severity: Medium]
What happens in zpci_fmb_request_off() in arch/s390/pci/pci.c if
zpci_fmb_disable(zdev) fails with -EIO when zpci_mod_fc() returns cc == 1?
Because zdev->statistics_on is set to false before zpci_fmb_disable(zdev)
succeeds, a failed disable leaves function measurement active in firmware
while zdev->statistics_on is false. A subsequent retry via
pci_perf_seq_write() -> zpci_fmb_request_off() will then fail with -EINVAL
at the (!zdev->statistics_on) check, and pcibios_disable_device() will also
skip calling zpci_fmb_disable(zdev).

[Severity: Medium]
Could zpci_reenable_device() in arch/s390/pci/pci.c enable function
measurement while the upper-layer pci_dev is disabled or removed?
In zpci_create_device(), zdev->statistics_on is initialized to true, and
pcibios_disable_device() preserves zdev->statistics_on = true when disabling
measurement.
In arch/s390/pci/pci_sysfs.c, recover_store() -> _do_recover() removes the
pci_dev before calling zpci_reenable_device():
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(pdev);
if (zdev_enabled(zdev)) {
ret = zpci_disable_device(zdev);
if (ret == -EINVAL)
ret = 0;
if (ret)
return ret;
}
ret = zpci_reenable_device(zdev);
Here pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(pdev) unbinds the driver and calls
pcibios_disable_device(pdev), leaving zdev->statistics_on set to true.
_do_recover() then calls zpci_reenable_device(zdev) (and similarly
reset_slot() -> zpci_hot_reset_device() -> zpci_reenable_device() can run
when no driver has enabled the pci_dev), which immediately starts firmware
measurement updates to zdev->fmb while the pci_dev is not enabled.
When recover_store() subsequently calls pci_rescan_bus() and a driver probes
and enables the device via pci_enable_device() -> pcibios_enable_device(),
pcibios_enable_device() sees zdev->statistics_on is true and calls
zpci_fmb_enable(zdev) again, executing memset() on zdev->fmb while firmware
measurement updates to zdev->fmb are already active.
