s390x/vfio-ap: Implement hot plug/unplug of vfio-ap device
Introduces hot plug/unplug support for the vfio-ap device. To hot plug a vfio-ap device using the QEMU device_add command: (qemu) device_add vfio-ap,sysfsdev=$path-to-mdev Where $path-to-mdev is the absolute path to the mediated matrix device to which AP resources to be used by the guest have been assigned. A vfio-ap device can be hot plugged only if: 1. A vfio-ap device has not been attached to the virtual machine's ap-bus via the QEMU command line or a prior hot plug action. 2. The guest was started with the CPU model feature for AP enabled (e.g., -cpu host,ap=on) To hot unplug a vfio-ap device using the QEMU device_del command: (qemu) device_del vfio-ap,sysfsdev=$path-to-mdev Where $path-to-mdev is the absolute path to the mediated matrix device specified when the vfio-ap device was attached to the virtual machine's ap-bus. A vfio-ap device can be hot unplugged only if: 1. A vfio-ap device has been attached to the virtual machine's ap-bus via the QEMU command line or a prior hot plug action. 2. The guest was started with the CPU model feature for AP enabled (e.g., -cpu host,ap=on) Please note that a hot plug handler is not necessary for the vfio-ap device because the AP matrix configuration for the guest is performed by the kernel device driver when the vfio-ap device is realized. The vfio-ap device represents a VFIO mediated device created in the host sysfs for use by a guest. The mdev device is configured with an AP matrix (i.e., adapters and domains) via its sysfs attribute interfaces prior to starting the guest or plugging a vfio-ap device in. When the device is realized, a file descriptor is opened on the mdev device which results in a callback to the vfio_ap kernel device driver. The device driver then configures the AP matrix in the guest's SIE state description from the AP matrix assigned via the mdev device's sysfs interfaces. The AP devices will be created for the guest when the AP bus running on the guest subsequently performs its periodic scan for AP devices. The qdev_simple_device_unplug_cb() callback function is used for the same reaons; namely, the vfio_ap kernel device driver will perform the AP resource de-configuration for the guest when the vfio-ap device is unplugged. When the vfio-ap device is unrealized, the mdev device file descriptor is closed which results in a callback to the vfio_ap kernel device driver. The device driver then clears the AP matrix configuration in the guest's SIE state description and resets all of the affected queues. The AP devices created for the guest will be removed when the AP bus running on the guest subsequently performs its periodic scan and finds there are no longer any AP resources assigned to the guest.
