    s390/ap: driver callback to indicate resource in use · 4f8206b8
    Tony Krowiak authored
    Introduces a new driver callback to prevent a root user from re-assigning
    the APQN of a queue that is in use by a non-default host device driver to
    a default host device driver and vice versa. The callback will be invoked
    whenever a change to the AP bus's sysfs apmask or aqmask attributes would
    result in one or more APQNs being re-assigned. If the callback responds
    in the affirmative for any driver queried, the change to the apmask or
    aqmask will be rejected with a device busy error.
    
    For this patch, only non-default drivers will be queried. Currently,
    there is only one non-default driver, the vfio_ap device driver. The
    vfio_ap device driver facilitates pass-through of an AP queue to a
    guest. The idea here is that a guest may be administered by a different
    sysadmin than the host and we don't want AP resources to unexpectedly
    disappear from a guest's AP configuration (i.e., adapters and domains
    assigned to the matrix mdev). This will enforce the proper procedure for
    removing AP resources intended for guest usage which is to
    first unassign them from the matrix mdev, then unbind them from the
    vfio_ap device driver.
