Subject: [PATCH 00/15] Tidy up vfio_device life cycle
Date:   Sun, 28 Aug 2022 01:10:22 +0800

The idea is to let vfio core manage the vfio_device life cycle instead
of duplicating the logic cross drivers. Besides cleaner code in driver
side this also allows adding struct device to vfio_device as the first
step toward adding cdev uAPI in the future. Another benefit is that
user can now look at sysfs to decide whether a device is bound to
vfio [1], e.g.:

	/sys/devices/pci0000\:6f/0000\:6f\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfio0

Though most drivers can fit the new model naturally:

 - vfio_alloc_device() to allocate and initialize vfio_device
 - vfio_put_device() to release vfio_device
 - dev_ops->init() for driver private initialization
 - dev_ops->release() for driver private cleanup

vfio-ccw is the only exception due to a life cycle mess that its private
structure mixes both parent and mdev info hence must be alloc/free'ed
outside of the life cycle of vfio device.

Per prior discussions this won't be fixed in short term by IBM folks [2].

Instead of waiting this series introduces a few tricks to move forward:

 - vfio_init_device() to initialize a pre-allocated device structure;

 - require *EVERY* driver to implement @release and free vfio_device
   inside. Then vfio-ccw can use a completion mechanism to delay the
   free to css driver;

The second trick is not a real burden to other drivers because they
all require a @release for private cleanup anyay. Later once the ccw
mess is fixed a simple cleanup can be done by moving free from @release
to vfio core.

Thanks
