Note: Patch 1, s390/vfio-ap: clean up vfio_ap resources when KVM pointer invalidated does not belong to this series. It has been posted as a separate patch to fix a known problem. It is included here because it will likely pre-req for this series. The current design for AP pass-through does not support making dynamic changes to the AP matrix of a running guest resulting in a few deficiencies this patch series is intended to mitigate: 1. Adapters, domains and control domains can not be added to or removed from a running guest. In order to modify a guest's AP configuration, the guest must be terminated; only then can AP resources be assigned to or unassigned from the guest's matrix mdev. The new AP configuration becomes available to the guest when it is subsequently restarted. 2. The AP bus's /sys/bus/ap/apmask and /sys/bus/ap/aqmask interfaces can be modified by a root user without any restrictions. A change to either mask can result in AP queue devices being unbound from the vfio_ap device driver and bound to a zcrypt device driver even if a guest is using the queues, thus giving the host access to the guest's private crypto data and vice versa. 3. The APQNs derived from the Cartesian product of the APIDs of the adapters and APQIs of the domains assigned to a matrix mdev must reference an AP queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver. The AP architecture allows assignment of AP resources that are not available to the system, so this artificial restriction is not compliant with the architecture. 4. The AP configuration profile can be dynamically changed for the linux host after a KVM guest is started. For example, a new domain can be dynamically added to the configuration profile via the SE or an HMC connected to a DPM enabled lpar. Likewise, AP adapters can be dynamically configured (online state) and deconfigured (standby state) using the SE, an SCLP command or an HMC connected to a DPM enabled lpar. This can result in inadvertent sharing of AP queues between the guest and host. 5. A root user can manually unbind an AP queue device representing a queue in use by a KVM guest via the vfio_ap device driver's sysfs unbind attribute. In this case, the guest will be using a queue that is not bound to the driver which violates the device model. This patch series introduces the following changes to the current design to alleviate the shortcomings described above as well as to implement more of the AP architecture: 1. A root user will be prevented from making edits to the AP bus's /sys/bus/ap/apmask or /sys/bus/ap/aqmask if the change would transfer ownership of an APQN from the vfio_ap device driver to a zcrypt driver while the APQN is assigned to a matrix mdev. 2. Allow a root user to hot plug/unplug AP adapters, domains and control domains for a KVM guest using the matrix mdev via its sysfs assign/unassign attributes. 4. Allow assignment of an AP adapter or domain to a matrix mdev even if it results in assignment of an APQN that does not reference an AP queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver, as long as the APQN is not reserved for use by the default zcrypt drivers (also known as over-provisioning of AP resources). Allowing over-provisioning of AP resources better models the architecture which does not preclude assigning AP resources that are not yet available in the system. Such APQNs, however, will not be assigned to the guest using the matrix mdev; only APQNs referencing AP queue devices bound to the vfio_ap device driver will actually get assigned to the guest. 5. Handle dynamic changes to the AP device model. 1. Rationale for changes to AP bus's apmask/aqmask interfaces: ---------------------------------------------------------- Due to the extremely sensitive nature of cryptographic data, it is imperative that great care be taken to ensure that such data is secured. Allowing a root user, either inadvertently or maliciously, to configure these masks such that a queue is shared between the host and a guest is not only avoidable, it is advisable. It was suggested that this scenario is better handled in user space with management software, but that does not preclude a malicious administrator from using the sysfs interfaces to gain access to a guest's crypto data. It was also suggested that this scenario could be avoided by taking access to the adapter away from the guest and zeroing out the queues prior to the vfio_ap driver releasing the device; however, stealing an adapter in use from a guest as a by-product of an operation is bad and will likely cause problems for the guest unnecessarily. It was decided that the most effective solution with the least number of negative side effects is to prevent the situation at the source. 2. Rationale for hot plug/unplug using matrix mdev sysfs interfaces: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Allowing a user to hot plug/unplug AP resources using the matrix mdev sysfs interfaces circumvents the need to terminate the guest in order to modify its AP configuration. Allowing dynamic configuration makes reconfiguring a guest's AP matrix much less disruptive. 3. Rationale for allowing over-provisioning of AP resources: ----------------------------------------------------------- Allowing assignment of AP resources to a matrix mdev and ultimately to a guest better models the AP architecture. The architecture does not preclude assignment of unavailable AP resources. If a queue subsequently becomes available while a guest using the matrix mdev to which its APQN is assigned, the guest will be given access to it. If an APQN is dynamically unassigned from the underlying host system, it will automatically become unavailable to the guest. Change log v12-v13: ------------------ * Combined patches 12/13 from previous series into one patch * Moved all changes for linking queues and mdevs into a single patch * Re-ordered some patches to aid in review * Using mutex_trylock() function in adapter/domain assignment functions to avoid potential deadlock condition with in_use callback * Using filtering function for refreshing the guest's APCB for all events that change the APCB: assign/unassign adapters, domains, control domains; bind/unbind of queue devices; and, changes to the host AP configuration. Change log v11-v12: ------------------ * Moved matrix device lock to protect group notifier callback * Split the 'No need to disable IRQ after queue reset' patch into multiple patches for easier review (move probe/remove callback functions and remove disable IRQ after queue reset) * Added code to decrement reference count for KVM in group notifier callback * Using mutex_trylock() in functions implementing the sysfs assign_adapter and assign_domain as well as the in_use callback to avoid deadlock between the AP bus's ap_perms mutex and the matrix device lock used by vfio_ap driver. * The sysfs guest_matrix attribute of the vfio_ap mdev will now display the shadow APCB regardless of whether a guest is using the mdev or not * Replaced vfio_ap mdev filtering function with a function that initializes the guest's APCB by filtering the vfio_ap mdev by APID. * No longer using filtering function during adapter/domain assignment to/from the vfio_ap mdev; replaced with new hot plug/unplug adapter/domain functions. * No longer using filtering function during bind/unbind; replaced with hot plug/unplug queue functions. * No longer using filtering function for bulk assignment of new adapters and domains in on_scan_complete callback; replaced with new hot plug functions. Change log v10-v11: ------------------ * The matrix mdev's configuration is not filtered by APID so that if any APQN assigned to the mdev is not bound to the vfio_ap device driver, the adapter will not get plugged into the KVM guest on startup, or when a new adapter is assigned to the mdev. * Replaced patch 8 by squashing patches 8 (filtering patch) and 15 (handle probe/remove). * Added a patch 1 to remove disable IRQ after a reset because the reset already disables a queue. * Now using filtering code to update the KVM guest's matrix when notified that AP bus scan has completed. * Fixed issue with probe/remove not inititiated by a configuration change occurring within a config change. Change log v9-v10: ----------------- * Updated the documentation in vfio-ap.rst to include information about the AP dynamic configuration support Change log v8-v9: ---------------- * Fixed errors flagged by the kernel test robot * Fixed issue with guest losing queues when a new queue is probed due to manual bind operation. Change log v7-v8: ---------------- * Now logging a message when an attempt to reserve APQNs for the zcrypt drivers will result in taking a queue away from a KVM guest to provide the sysadmin a way to ascertain why the sysfs operation failed. * Created locked and unlocked versions of the ap_parse_mask_str() function. * Now using new interface provided by an AP bus patch - s390/ap: introduce new ap function ap_get_qdev() - to retrieve struct ap_queue representing an AP queue device. This patch is not a part of this series but is a prerequisite for this series. Change log v6-v7: ---------------- * Added callbacks to AP bus: - on_config_changed: Notifies implementing drivers that the AP configuration has changed since last AP device scan. - on_scan_complete: Notifies implementing drivers that the device scan has completed. - implemented on_config_changed and on_scan_complete callbacks for vfio_ap device driver. - updated vfio_ap device driver's probe and remove callbacks to handle dynamic changes to the AP device model. * Added code to filter APQNs when assigning AP resources to a KVM guest's CRYCB Change log v5-v6: ---------------- * Fixed a bug in ap_bus.c introduced with patch 2/7 of the v5 series. Harald Freudenberer pointed out that the mutex lock for ap_perms_mutex in the apmask_store and aqmask_store functions was not being freed. * Removed patch 6/7 which added logging to the vfio_ap driver to expedite acceptance of this series. The logging will be introduced with a separate patch series to allow more time to explore options such as DBF logging vs. tracepoints. * Added 3 patches related to ensuring that APQNs that do not reference AP queue devices bound to the vfio_ap device driver are not assigned to the guest CRYCB: Patch 4: Filter CRYCB bits for unavailable queue devices Patch 5: sysfs attribute to display the guest CRYCB Patch 6: update guest CRYCB in vfio_ap probe and remove callbacks * Added a patch (Patch 9) to version the vfio_ap module. * Reshuffled patches to allow the in_use callback implementation to invoke the vfio_ap_mdev_verify_no_sharing() function introduced in patch 2. Change log v4-v5: ---------------- * Added a patch to provide kernel s390dbf debug logs for VFIO AP Change log v3->v4: ----------------- * Restored patches preventing root user from changing ownership of APQNs from zcrypt drivers to the vfio_ap driver if the APQN is assigned to an mdev. * No longer enforcing requirement restricting guest access to queues represented by a queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver. * Removed shadow CRYCB and now directly updating the guest CRYCB from the matrix mdev's matrix. * Rebased the patch series on top of 'vfio: ap: AP Queue Interrupt Control' patches. * Disabled bind/unbind sysfs interfaces for vfio_ap driver Change log v2->v3: ----------------- * Allow guest access to an AP queue only if the queue is bound to the vfio_ap device driver. * Removed the patch to test CRYCB masks before taking the vCPUs out of SIE. Now checking the shadow CRYCB in the vfio_ap driver. Change log v1->v2: ----------------- * Removed patches preventing root user from unbinding AP queues from the vfio_ap device driver * Introduced a shadow CRYCB in the vfio_ap driver to manage dynamic changes to the AP guest configuration due to root user interventions or hardware anomalies.
