Patches 2/5 and 5/5 in this series were previously posted as individual
fixes upstream. During review of those patches, the reviewer identified
several pre-existing problems in the same code paths that are addressed
by the remaining three patches. All five patches are fixes for
pre-existing bugs and are tagged for stable.
Patches 1/5, 3/5 and 4/5 fix bugs in the call trees of the two
callback functions implemented by the vfio_ap device
driver -- vfio_ap_on_cfg_changed and vfio_ap_on_scan_complete:
* Patch 1/5 fixes a stale do_remove flag in vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_remove
that causes spurious hot-unplug operations on mdevs that have no
assigned adapters, domains or control domains in common with those
removed from the host AP configuration.
* Patch 3/5 fixes the use of the wrong lock to protect the addition of
a newly created ap_matrix_mdev object to the mdev_list in the
vfio_ap_mdev_probe function.
* Patch 4/5 fixes the missing mdevs_lock while updating the apm_add,
aqm_add and adm_add fields of an ap_matrix_mdev object in
vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_add.

The do_remove flag in vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_remove() is initialised to zero
before the loop that iterates over the list of matrix mdevs, but is
never reset at the start of each iteration. Since do_remove is
OR-accumulated across iterations, a positive result from one mdev
carries over to subsequent mdevs.
The fix is to set the do_remove flag with the first call to bitmap_and;
for example: do_remove = bitmap_an rather than do_remove |= bitmap_and.

The ap_driver structure has two fields which are function pointers to
callbacks:
* .on_config_changed: called at the start of the AP bus scan function to
notify the device driver that the host AP
configuration has changed and the associated AP
devices will be added or removed accordingly. This
gives the implementor a chance to evaluate the
configuration changes and respond to them before
the associated devices are added or removed.
* .on_scan_complete: Called at the end of the AP bus scan function to
notify the device driver that the host AP
configuration has changed and the AP devices have
been added or removed accordingly. This gives the
implementor the opportunity to respond to the
changes after the associated devices are added or
removed.
These two callbacks are implemented in the vfio_ap device driver via the
vfio_ap_on_cfg_changed and vfio_ap_on_scan_complete functions respectively.
Within the call stack of these two callback functions the
matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex is taken without checking whether
matrix_mdev->kvm is NULL or not. If matrix_mdev->kvm has never been set,
trying to take the lock will trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This patch
adds checks for matrix_mdev->kvm == NULL before taking the
matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex.
Note that the matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex taken in the
vfio_ap_mdev_hot_plug_config function is moved to the calling function
along with the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock which is needed there to access
the fields of the matrix_mdev. It makes little sense to make the change
the check for matrix_mdev->kvm there before taking the kvm->lock
mutex only to have to move it out via another patch, so it is done in
this patch.
It is important to make note of the following:
1. The matrix_dev->guests_lock is acquired at the start of both callback
functions. This ensures that matrix_mdev will not be removed via the
vfio_ap_mdev_remove function because it too takes matrix_dev_guests_lock
before removing the object; so, matrix_mdev will be available for the
duration of the callback functions.
2. The matrix_dev->mdevs_lock mutex must be taken in order to access
fields within the matrix_mdev structure
3. matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex must be taken before the
matrix_dev->mdevs_lock to prevent a lockdep splat.
4: The kvm->lock must be held while plugging the guest's AP configuration
into its SIE state description via the vfio_ap_mdev_update_guest_apcb
function.
5. The vfio_ap_mdev_update_guest_apcb checks matrix_mdev->kvm to verify it
is not NULL before doing the hot plug of the guest's AP configuration.

The vfio_ap_mdev_probe function uses the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock
mutex to guard the add of a newly created ap_matrix_mdev object to the
matrix_dev->mdev_list. This mutex does not protect against traversal
of the list; its purpose is to guard against concurrent access to fields
contained in an ap_matrix_mdev object. This could lead to kernel memory
corruption or use-after-free if another mdev is created concurrently.
The adding of an ap_matrix_mdev object to matrix_dev->mdev_list
is now guarded by the matrix_dev->guests_lock which is the correct
way to protect against concurrent mdev_list access.
See the vfio-ap-locking.rst in the linux kernel tree.

In the vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_add function, the apm_add, aqm_add and adm_add
fields of an ap_matrix_mdev object fields are modified while not holding
the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock. This lock must be held while making these

concurrently modifying these fields or any of the fields in the

The vfio_ap_config_remove function uses the bitmap_andnot function to clear
bits from the matrix_mdev->matrix.adm bitmap (specifies the control domains
assigned to the mdev). This prevents the explicitly unplugged control
domains from being removed the KVM guest. The bitmap_and function is used
instead.
