    vfio-ccw: rework ssch state handling · 690f6a15
    Cornelia Huck authored
    The flow for processing ssch requests can be improved by splitting
    the BUSY state:
    
    - CP_PROCESSING: We reject any user space requests while we are in
      the process of translating a channel program and submitting it to
      the hardware. Use -EAGAIN to signal user space that it should
      retry the request.
    - CP_PENDING: We have successfully submitted a request with ssch and
      are now expecting an interrupt. As we can't handle more than one
      channel program being processed, reject any further requests with
      -EBUSY. A final interrupt will move us out of this state.
      By making this a separate state, we make it possible to issue a
      halt or a clear while we're still waiting for the final interrupt
      for the ssch (in a follow-on patch).
    
    It also makes a lot of sense not to preemptively filter out writes to
    the io_region if we're in an incorrect state: the state machine will
    handle this correctly.
