The VFIO AP device model exploits interpretive execution of AP

Unlock mutex before returning?
Maybe flip conditions (don't allow manipulating apie if feature not
there).
Clearing the anyways clear apie if feature not there ain't too bad,
but
rejecting the operation appears nicer to me.

I wonder how the loop after this switch works for
KVM_S390_VM_CRYPTO_INTERPRET_AP:
kvm_for_each_vcpu(i, vcpu, kvm) {
kvm_s390_vcpu_crypto_setup(vcpu);
exit_sie(vcpu);
}
From not doing something like for KVM_S390_VM_CRYPTO_INTERPRET_AP
if (kvm->created_vcpus) {
mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);
return -EBUSY;
and from the aforementioned loop I guess ECA.28 can be changed
for a running guest.
If there are running vcpus when KVM_S390_VM_CRYPTO_INTERPRET_AP is
changed (set) these will be taken out of SIE by exit_sie(). Then
for the
corresponding threads the control probably goes to QEMU (the
emulator in
the userspace). And it puts that vcpu back into the SIE, and then that
cpu starts acting according to the new ECA.28 value. While other
vcpus
may still work with the old value of ECA.28.
I'm not saying what I describe above is necessarily something broken.
But I would like to have it explained, why is it OK -- provided I
did not
make any errors in my reasoning (assumptions included).
Can you help me understand this code?

I have the same concerns as Halil.
We do not need to change the virtulization type
(hardware/software) on the fly for the current use case.
Couldn't we delay this until we have one and in between only make
the vCPU hotplug clean?
We only need to let the door open for the day we have such a use case.
Are you suggesting this code be removed? If so, then where and under
what conditions would
you suggest setting ECA.28 given you objected to setting it based on
whether the
AP feature is installed?
I would only call kvm_s390_vcpu_crypto_setup() from inside
kvm_arch_vcpu_init()
as it is already.
It is not called from kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), it is called from
kvm_arch_vcpu_setup(). Also,
this loop was already here, I did not put it in. Assuming whomever put
it there did so
for a reason, it is not my place to remove it. According to a trace I
ran, the calls to this
function occur after the vcpus are created. Consequently, the
kvm_s390_vcpu_crypto_setup()
function would not be called without the loop and neither the key
wrapping support nor the
ECA_APIE would be configured in the vcpu's SIE descriptor.
If you have a better idea for where/how to set this flag, I'm all
ears. It would be nice if it could be set before the vcpus are created,
but I haven't
found a good candidate. I suspect that the loop was put in to make sure
that all vcpus
get updated regardless of whether they are running or not, but I don't
know what happens
after a vcpu is kicked out of SIE. I suspect, as Halil surmised, that QEMU
restores the vcpus to SIE. This would seemingly cause the
kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() to get
called at which time the ECA_APIE value as well as the key wrapping
values will get set.
If somebody has knowledge of the flow here, please feel free to pitch in.
