This patch fixes a lockdep splat introduced by commit f21916ec4826
("s390/vfio-ap: clean up vfio_ap resources when KVM pointer invalidated").
The lockdep splat only occurs when starting a Secure Execution guest.
Crypto virtualization (vfio_ap) is not yet supported for SE guests;
however, in order to avoid this problem when support becomes available,
this fix is being provided.

This ain't no good. kvm_busy will remain true if we take this exit. The
wake_up_all() is not needed, because we hold the lock, so nobody can
observe it if we don't forget kvm_busy set.

I suggest moving matrix_mdev->kvm_busy = true; after this loop, maybe right
before the unlock, and removing the wake_up_all().

I don't think rejecting the reset is a good idea. I have you a more detailed
explanation of the list, where we initially discussed this question.

How do you exect userspace to react to this -ENODEV?
After reading your more detailed explanation, I have come to the
conclusion that the test for matrix_mdev->kvm should not be
performed here and the the vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queues() function
should be called regardless. Each queue assigned to the mdev
that is also bound to the vfio_ap driver will get reset and its
IRQ resources cleaned up if they haven't already been and the
other required conditions are met (i.e., see
vfio_ap_mdev_free_irq_resources()).
My point is if !->kvm the other required conditions are not met. But
yes we can go back to unconditional vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queues(mdev),
and think about the necessity of performing a
vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queues() if !->kvm later as I proposed in the other
mail.

The other conditions may or may not have been met depending
upon whether ->kvm is NULL because the VFIO_DEVICE_RESET
ioctl was invoked while the matrix_dev->lock was released
in the vfio_ap_mdev_unset_kvm() function. If that was the case,
then there is no need to clean up the IRQ resources because it
will already have been done.

On the other hand, if we don't have ->kvm because something broke,
then we may be out of luck anyway. There will certainly be no
way to unregister the GISC; however, it may still be possible
to unpin the pages if we still have q->saved_pfn.

The point is, if the queue is bound to vfio_ap, it can be reset. If we can't
clean up the IRQ resources because something is broken, then there
is nothing we can do about that.

Halil
