Subject: [PATCH] s390/vfio_ccw: Implement a crw lock

Unlike the channel_program struct, which covers synchronous I/O
submissions and asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies
exclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware.

Implement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure
they are read cohesively.

[ Upstream commit 79c60b2c61105368dcc8444eb45847e21734f7c4 ]

The initialization of the io_work and crw_work workqueues begs the
question of whether they should be un-initialized. Add the corresponding
cleanup tags in _release_dev to ensure work isn't dispatched after
the private struct is free'd.

From: Eric Farman <farman@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 0c11f61a876ed6fcca53d442ed3f33ea8362a0f9 ]

The fsm_notoper() routine is called when the device has been
lost, and is (by definition) no longer operational. Since this
can happen asynchronously from the normal behavior of the
driver, the cleanup may happen when holding other locks
in the calling sequence (notably, the cio subchannel lock).

Push the cleanup of the private->cp resources to a workqueue,
where it can be done out from under that lock sequence and
a future patch can safely manage the locking requirements.

From: Eric Farman <farman@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 34f4feff3e90bd09308fad0974e97113b23b812a ]

The io_mutex was defined to serialize the io_regions, but then has
also sort of been associated with the I/O themselves because of
the close relationship they share.

With the handful of races that are possible, the choices are either to:
 A) expand the scope of io_mutex to close these remaining windows, or
 B) reduce the scope of io_mutex to just io_region, and introduce a new
    lock mechanism for the remaining I/O resources

This patch implements A, since B brings with it a lot more interactions
that would need to be tracked and kept in a correct hierarchy. It also
takes advantage of the workqueue element for cp_free() that now gets
called out of fsm_notoper(), which could be invoked out of an interrupt
context and thus cannot acquire a mutex itself.

From: Eric Farman <farman@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 16b0798024c0e9117e395829ddbbe70981c79d9c ]

Unlike the channel_program struct, which covers synchronous I/O
submissions and asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies
exclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware.

Implement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure
they are read cohesively.

Fixes: 3f02cb2fd9d2 ("vfio-ccw: Wire up the CRW irq and CRW region")

[ Relocated the `spin_lock_init()` and CRW drain loop from `vfio_ccw_mdev_init_dev()`/`release_dev()` in ops.c to `vfio_ccw_alloc_private()`/`vfio_ccw_free_private()` in drv.c, and kept the 2-argument `eventfd_signal()` form. ]
