What about the situation when vfio_ap_mdev_group_notifier() is called to
tell us that our pointer to KVM is about to become invalid? Do we need to
clean up the IRQ stuff there?

Makes sense.

Please see below in the code.

It would have been helpful to split out the refactoring as a separate
patch. This way it is harder to review the code that got moved, because
it is intermingled with the changes that intend to change behavior.

Here is the check that the kvm reference exists, you mentioned in the
cover letter. You make only the gisc_unregister depend on it, because
that's what is going to explode.

But I'm actually wondering if "KVM is gone but we still haven't cleaned
up our aqic resources" is valid. I argue that it is not. The two
resources we manage are the gisc registration and the pinned page. I
argue that it makes on sense to keep what was the guests page pinned,
if here is no guest associated (we don't have KVM).

I assume the cleanup is supposed to be atomic from the perspective of
other threads/contexts, so I expect the cleanup either to be fully done
or not not entered the critical section.

So !kvm && (q->saved_isc != VFIO_AP_ISC_INVALID || q->saved_pfn) is a
bug. Isn't it?

In that sense this change would only hide the actual problem.

Is the scenario we are talking about something that can happen, or is
this just about programming defensively?

In any case, I don't think this is a good idea. We can be defensive
about it, but we have to do it differently.

What is the purpose of this? Doesn't the preceding vfio_ap_get_queue()
already set q->matrix_mdev?

Is it safe to do vfio_ap_free_aqic_resources() at this point? I don't
think so. I mean does the current code (and vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue()
in particular guarantee that the reset is actually done when we arrive
here)? BTW, I think we have a similar problem with the current code as
well.

Under what circumstances do we expect !q? If we don't, then we need to
complain one way or another.

I believe that each time we call vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue(), we will
also want to call vfio_ap_free_aqic_resources(q) to clean up our aqic
resources associated with the queue -- if any. So I would really prefer
having a function that does both.

What is the benefit of rewriting this? You introduced
queue just to do queue->ap_dev to get to the apdev you
have in hand in the first place.
