This is v3 of the patch series. v2 is now obsolete.

Changes since v2:
- Rebased onto latest upstream
- Patch 3 ("Reject short event buffers") has been dropped as it was
  independently submitted by Xu Rao
- As suggested by Will Deacon, modified viommu_init_vqs() to take vdev
  instead of viommu, since they are now linked via vdev->priv

Sorry, I'm going to ignore this until you figure out your mail setup. This
is a cover letter with no patches in reply to it but meanwhile you've also
sent some new v2 patches at [1], one of which has already been rejected by
Jean-Philippe in a previous (identical) posting [2].

The event virtqueue callback retrieves the driver state through
vq->vdev->priv. viommu_probe() currently initializes that pointer only
after virtio_device_ready() and after the event queue is populated.

Store the driver data before creating the virtqueues so callbacks always
see initialized driver state once the device is made ready. Clear the
pointer again on probe failure.

As suggested by Will Deacon, pass vdev instead of viommu to
viommu_init_vqs(), since we already linked them together.

[PATCH] iommu/virtio: Fix probe error handling and driver state initialization

[Xiong Weimin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3793 bytes --]

Hi Will,

Thank you for your patience and I'm really sorry for the email mess earlier.

The previous emails had issues with my sending script, which caused:
1. Cover letter sent without patch content
2. Duplicate v2 patches that should have been marked obsolete

I've now fixed the script and combined the two probe fixes into a single
patch. Here's what the new patch does:

1. Store vdev->priv before creating virtqueues so the event callback
   always sees initialized driver state

2. Check the return value of iommu_device_register() and clean up sysfs
   entries on failure

3. As you suggested, pass vdev instead of viommu to viommu_init_vqs()

I've also dropped the "Reject short event buffers" patch since Xu Rao
independently submitted an identical fix.

The patch is attached below. Could you please take another look?

Sorry again for the confusion.

Best regards,
Xiong Weimin

Two more things here:

1. Please don't send patches as attachments. Go and read
   Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst to understand how this
   it supposed to work.

2. You shouldn't add random Reviewed-by tags if they haven't been
   explicitly provided by the individual. For example:

Hi Will,

Thank you for your patience and I'm really sorry for the issues you raised.

Please note: I sent a combined patch earlier (around 10:42 on July 24) that supersedes this v3 series. Your reply below may have been based on the earlier version. The combined patch addressed all the issues mentioned below.

1. About sending patches as attachments:
I apologize. I will read Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and make sure to send patches as inline text in the email body from now on.

2. About the incorrect Reviewed-by and Suggested-by tags:
I sincerely apologize for including incorrect Reviewed-by and Suggested-by tags in my previous patches. These tags were added without your explicit consent and should not have been included. I take full responsibility for this mistake and will be more careful in the future.

---

Regarding the combined patch:

I've combined the two probe fixes into a single patch. Here's what it does:

1. Store vdev->priv before creating virtqueues so the event callback always sees initialized driver state

2. Check the return value of iommu_device_register() and clean up sysfs entries on failure

3. Changed viommu_init_vqs() to take vdev instead of viommu, since we already have a link between them

I've also dropped the "Reject short event buffers" patch since Xu Rao independently submitted an identical fix.

The event virtqueue callback retrieves the driver state through

Store the driver data before creating the virtqueues so callbacks always

Change viommu_init_vqs() to take a struct virtio_device * instead of
struct viommu_dev *, since we already have a link between them.
