The Sub channel event callback is threaded using workqueues.
The work uses the FSM introducing the VFIO_CCW_EVENT_SCH_EVENT
event.
The update of the SCHIB is now done inside the FSM function.

Just realized that this has a bug in the orignal implementation. For
error out this should return -EAGAIN. We'd need a separated fix on
this.
Indeed. Will you send a patch, or should I hack something up?

This hunk was toatally removed, and this is fine because?
The first part is moved to fsm_sch_event()
The second part disapear per design as state changes are done inside the FSM.

-1 is not a valid code.
-ENODEV looks more fitting, if we decide to go with this rework.
:) yes, forgot the -1 from the first tests.

I'm wondering why this should always be done via a workqueue. It seems
the other subchannel types try to do as much as possible immediately?

Doing things inside the top half is not very friendly with the system.
The goal of the patch is to build a clean atomic state machine.
Allowing the use of mutexes insures atomicity.

I notice that I forgot to point this out in the cover letter although it is
one of the design key.
I will update the cover letter.

(And returning -EAGAIN already triggers the css code to schedule
another call later.)

Yes, if(work_pending()) return -EAGAIN

Thanks for the review

Pierre
