Hi Eric,

Thanks for the following of this patch series.

For your question about quiece during remove I do not think it should be a NOP, we must make sure the channel is disabled at that time.

The subchannel enablement and the according setting to the
VFIO_CCW_STATE_STANDBY state should only be done when all
parts of the VFIO mediated device have been initialized
i.e. after the mediated device has been successfully opened.

Let's stay in VFIO_CCW_STATE_NOT_OPER until the mediated
device has been opened and set the VFIO_CCW_STATE_STANDBY
on a successful open.

On release the state is set back to VFIO_CCW_STATE_NOT_OPER
by vfio_ccw_sch_quiesce().

When the mediated device is closed,  disable the sub channel
by calling vfio_ccw_sch_quiesce().

Ah, this series is built on Connie's async changes.  Okay.  [1]

Yes, and after reflections I think the timing is bad so I prefer to wait for the series from Connie on hsch/csch to be finished before going on with this series.
Otherwise I fear to only add noise to the current discussions.

[1] If Connie's async patches go in first, then the stuff in your "vfio_ccw_unregister_async_dev_regions" is also added here.  That could be removed and replaced with a call to your new function, yes?

certainly.
Thanks for your comments.

Regards,
Pierre
