Prologue ======== This is series #3 in part of a larger work that arose from the minor remark that the mdev_parent_ops indirection shim is useless and complicates things. It applies on top of Alex's current tree and requires the prior two series. This series achieves the removal of vfio_mdev.c. The future patches are all focused on leveraging the changes made in the prior series to simplify the API and device operation. A preview of the future series's is here: https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/pull/3/commits ======== The mdev bus's core part for managing the lifecycle of devices is mostly as one would expect for a driver core bus subsystem. However instead of having a normal 'struct device_driver' and binding the actual mdev drivers through the standard driver core mechanisms it open codes this with the struct mdev_parent_ops and provides a single driver that shims between the VFIO core and the actual device driver. Make every one of the mdev drivers implement an actual struct mdev_driver and directly call vfio_register_group_dev() in the probe() function for the mdev. Squash what is left of the mdev_parent_ops into the mdev_driver and remap create(), remove() and mdev_attr_groups to their driver core equivalents. Arrange to bind the created mdev_device to the mdev_driver that is provided by the end driver. The actual execution flow doesn't change much, eg what was parent_ops->create is now device_driver->probe and it is called at almost the exact same time - except under the normal control of the driver core. This allows deleting the entire mdev_drvdata, and tidying some of the sysfs. Many places in the drivers start using container_of() This cleanly splits the mdev sysfs GUID lifecycle management stuff from the vfio_device implementation part, the only VFIO special part of mdev that remains is the mdev specific iommu intervention.
