H A Dap_bus.h4f8206b8 Fri Feb 01 15:21:11 CST 2019 Tony Krowiak <akrowiak@linux.ibm.com> s390/ap: driver callback to indicate resource in use

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.
