This series corrects two issues related to enablement of interrupts in

1. Returning a status response code 06 (Invalid address of AP-queue

sense.
2. The pages containing the interrupt notification-indicator byte are not
freed after a failure to register the guest ISC fails.
Hi Tony,
3. Since you're already making changes related to gisc registration, you might consider a 3rd patch that looks at the return code for kvm_s390_gisc_unregister and tags the unexpected error rc somehow. This came up in a recent conversation I had with Michael, see this conversation towards the bottom:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-s390/0ddf808c-e929-c975-1b39-5ebc1f2fab62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
When we receive a non-zero return code from kvm_s390_gisc_register, we
log a DBF warning message. We can do the same for a non-zero rc from
kvm_s390_gisc_unregister.
4. While looking at patch 1 I also had a question re: the AP_RESPONSE_OTHERWISE_CHANGED path in vfio_ap_irq_enable. Here's a snippet of the current code:
case AP_RESPONSE_OTHERWISE_CHANGED:
/* We could not modify IRQ settings: clear new configuration */
vfio_unpin_pages(&q->matrix_mdev->vdev, nib, 1);
kvm_s390_gisc_unregister(kvm, isc);
break;
Is it safe to unpin the page before unregistering the gisc in this case? Or shouldn't the unpin happen after we have unregistered the gisc / set the IAM?
I don't know the answer to the question, but it makes logical sense; so,
I'll go ahead and create a third patch as you suggested.
