s390/vfio-ap: Set up for vfio-ap device migration
This commit wires up VFIO migration operations and sets the
VFIO_MIGRATION_STOP_COPY flag on the vfio-ap mdev during device probe to
enable live migration support.

[Severity: High]
Does calling ap_is_se_guest() here and in vfio_ap_init_migration_data()
actually detect a Secure Execution guest on the KVM host?
In drivers/s390/crypto/ap_bus.c, ap_is_se_guest() checks whether the
currently running kernel is itself a Protected Virtualization guest:
bool ap_is_se_guest(void)
{
return is_prot_virt_guest() && ap_sb_available();
}
Since vfio_ap runs in the KVM host kernel where is_prot_virt_guest() is
always false, ap_is_se_guest() will always evaluate to false on the host.
Furthermore, at vfio_ap_mdev_probe() -> vfio_ap_setup_vfio_device_migration()
time, matrix_mdev->kvm is still NULL, and a guest only enters Protected
Virtualization mode at runtime via KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND. Should the SE guest
check instead be performed dynamically against matrix_mdev->kvm via
kvm_s390_pv_is_protected() when handling migration state transitions in
vfio_ap_set_state() or vfio_ap_transition_to_state()?

[Severity: Medium]
Now that vfio_ap_migration_ops is wired up and exposes the migration stream
and state transitions to userspace, can vfio_ap_resuming_write() leave
resuming_mig_data_complete set to true or leave filp->f_pos advanced when a
write fails?
In drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_migration.c:vfio_ap_resuming_write():
memcpy((char *)ap_config + *pos, kbuf, len);
*pos += len;
if (*pos >= offsetofend(struct vfio_ap_config, num_queues)) {
size_t expected_sz;
if (ap_config->num_queues > MAX_AP_QUEUES) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_unlock;
}
expected_sz = sizeof(struct vfio_ap_config) +
ap_config->num_queues *
sizeof(struct vfio_ap_queue_info);
if (*pos > (loff_t)expected_sz) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_unlock;
}
if (*pos == (loff_t)expected_sz) {
ret = do_post_copy_validation(matrix_mdev, ap_config);
matrix_mdev->mig_data->resuming_mig_data_complete = !ret;
}
}
If userspace writes a valid payload where *pos == expected_sz,
resuming_mig_data_complete is set to true. If userspace then issues an extra
write to the resuming FD before transitioning to VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_STOP, the
extra bytes are copied into ap_config, *pos is incremented past expected_sz,
and the function returns -EINVAL without clearing resuming_mig_data_complete.
A subsequent transition from VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_RESUMING to
VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_STOP in vfio_ap_transition_to_state() only checks
mig_data->resuming_mig_data_complete and will still succeed.
Also, when any of the checks on num_queues, expected_sz, or
do_post_copy_validation() fail, *pos has already been incremented even though
vfio_ap_resuming_write() returns an error. Should the validation happen
before advancing *pos and clear resuming_mig_data_complete on error?
