* Unassign adapter from mdev's matrix:

* Assign a control domain:

    The control domain will be hot plugged into the KVM guest if it is not
    assigned to the guest's APCB. The AP architecture ensures a guest will
    only get access to the control domain if it is in the host's AP
    configuration, so there is no risk in hot plugging it; however, it will
    become automatically available to the guest when it is added to the host
    configuration.

* Unassign a control domain:

    The control domain will be hot unplugged from the KVM guest if it is
    assigned to the guest's APCB.
This is where things start getting tricky. E.g. do we need to revise
filtering after an unassign? (For example an assign_adapter X didn't
change the shadow, because queue XY was missing, but now we unplug domain
Y. Should the adapter X pop up? I guess it should.)
I suppose that makes sense at the expense of making the code
more complex. It is essentially what we had in the prior version
which used the same filtering code for assignment as well as
host AP configuration changes.

Will have to think about it some more. Making the user unplug and
replug an adapter because at some point it got filtered, but there
is no need to filter it does not feel right. On the other hand, I'm
afraid I'm complaining in circles.


Note: Now that hot plug/unplug is implemented, there is the possibility
        that an assignment/unassignment of an adapter, domain or control
        domain could be initiated while the guest is starting, so the
        matrix device lock will be taken for the group notification callback
        that initializes the guest's APCB when the KVM pointer is made
        available to the vfio_ap device driver.

What is the rationale behind the shadow aqm empty special handling?
The rationale was to avoid taking the VCPUs
out of SIE in order to make an update to the guest's APCB
unnecessarily. For example, suppose the guest is started
without access to any APQNs (i.e., all matrix and shadow_apcb
masks are zeros). Now suppose the administrator proceeds to
start assigning AP resources to the mdev. Let's say he starts
by assigning adapters 1 through 100. The code below will return
true indicating the shadow_apcb was updated. Consequently,
the calling code will commit the changes to the guest's
APCB. The problem there is that in order to update the guest's
VCPUs, they will have to be taken out of SIE, yet the guest will
not get access to the adapter since no domains have yet been
assigned to the APCB. Doing this 100 times - once for each
adapter 1-100 - is probably a bad idea.

Not yanking the VCPUs out of SIE does make a lot of sense. At least
I understand your motivation now. I will think some more about this,
but in the meanwhile, please try to answer one more question (see
below).
   I.e.
why not simply:


static bool vfio_ap_assign_apid_to_apcb(struct ap_matrix_mdev *matrix_mdev,
                                          unsigned long apid)
{
          unsigned long apqi, apqn;
          unsigned long *aqm = matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb.aqm;
/*
           * If the APID is already assigned to the guest's shadow APCB, there is
           * no need to assign it.
           */
          if (test_bit_inv(apid, matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb.apm))
                  return false;
/* Make sure all APQNs are bound to the vfio_ap driver */
          for_each_set_bit_inv(apqi, aqm, AP_DOMAINS) {
                  apqn = AP_MKQID(apid, apqi);
if (vfio_ap_mdev_get_queue(matrix_mdev, apqn) == NULL)
                          return false;
          }
set_bit_inv(apid, matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb.apm); return true;
Would
s/return true/return !bitmap_empty(matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb.aqm,
AP_DOMAINS)/
do the trick?

I mean if empty, then we would not commit the APCB, so we would
not take the vCPUs out of SIE -- see below.

At first glance I'd say yes, it does the trick; but, I need to consider
all possible scenarios. For example, that will work fine when someone
either assigns all of the adapters or all of the domains first, then assigns
the other.
