s390/vfio-ap: File ops called to resume the vfio device migration
This commit implements the write callback for the resuming migration file
stream in drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_migration.c, accumulating the source
guest's AP configuration into a pre-allocated vfio_ap_config buffer and
validating compatibility against the destination mdev's shadow_apcb and
hardware capabilities.

[Severity: High]
Will this memcpy() in vfio_ap_resuming_write() trigger a fortify_panic() when
built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY=y?
In drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_migration.c, struct vfio_ap_config declares its
flexible array member with __counted_by(num_queues):
struct vfio_ap_config {
u32 magic;
u32 version;
u32 num_queues;
u8 reserved[4];
u64 adm[DIV_ROUND_UP(AP_DOMAINS, 64)];
struct vfio_ap_queue_info qinfo[] __counted_by(num_queues);
};
When vfio_ap_resuming_init() allocates ap_config via kvzalloc(),
ap_config->num_queues is zero-initialized. In vfio_ap_resuming_write(),
fortified memcpy() evaluates __builtin_dynamic_object_size() on
(char *)ap_config + *pos before copying the bytes from kbuf. Because
qinfo[] is annotated with __counted_by(num_queues), the compiler computes the
remaining object size from the current value of ap_config->num_queues:
sizeof(struct vfio_ap_config) +
ap_config->num_queues * sizeof(struct vfio_ap_queue_info) - *pos
When userspace writes a configuration containing one or more queues in a
single write() call (or a chunk spanning across num_queues into qinfo[]),
ap_config->num_queues is still 0 when the bounds check runs, so p_size is
at most sizeof(struct vfio_ap_config) while len is larger, causing
fortify_memcpy_chk() to call fortify_panic().
Similarly, even if an earlier chunk already populated ap_config->num_queues,
memcpy() runs before the *pos > (loff_t)expected_sz check below, so a write
that exceeds expected_sz will also trigger fortify_panic() instead of
returning -EINVAL.

[Severity: Medium]
Can advancing *pos and writing into ap_config before validating num_queues
and expected_sz leave filp->f_pos, ap_config, and resuming_mig_data_complete
in an inconsistent state on error?
In vfio_ap_resuming_write(), memcpy() and *pos += len execute unconditionally
before checking ap_config->num_queues > MAX_AP_QUEUES and
*pos > (loff_t)expected_sz. If either check fails, or if
do_post_copy_processing() fails, vfio_ap_resuming_write() returns a negative
errno while leaving filp->f_pos advanced and the invalid data in ap_config.
In addition, if a valid configuration is written completely such that
*pos == (loff_t)expected_sz and do_post_copy_processing() succeeds,
matrix_mdev->mig_data->resuming_mig_data_complete is set to true. If a
subsequent write arrives with extra trailing bytes before the device
transitions out of VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_RESUMING, vfio_ap_resuming_write()
returns -EINVAL (or -EIO in validate_resuming_write_parms()) without clearing
resuming_mig_data_complete, leaving the stream marked complete after a failed
write.
