This patch introduces an extension to the ap bus to notify device drivers
when the host AP configuration changes - i.e., adapters, domains or
control domains are added or removed. When an adapter or domain is added to
the host's AP configuration, the AP bus will create the associated queue
devices in the linux sysfs device model. Each new type 10 (i.e., CEX4) or
newer queue device with an APQN that is not reserved for the default device
driver will get bound to the vfio_ap device driver. Likewise, whan an
adapter or domain is removed from the host's AP configuration, the AP bus
will remove the associated queue devices from the sysfs device model. Each
of the queues that is bound to the vfio_ap device driver will get unbound.
With the introduction of hot plug support, binding or unbinding of a
queue device will result in plugging or unplugging one or more queues from
a guest that is using the queue. If there are multiple changes to the
host's AP configuration, it could result in the probe and remove callbacks
getting invoked multiple times. Each time queues are plugged into or
unplugged from a guest, the guest's VCPUs must be taken out of SIE.
If this occurs multiple times due to changes in the host's AP
configuration, that can have an undesirable negative affect on the guest's
performance.
To alleviate this problem, this patch introduces two new callbacks: one to
notify the vfio_ap device driver when the AP bus scan routine detects a
change to the host's AP configuration; and, one to notify the driver when
the AP bus is done scanning. This will allow the vfio_ap driver to do
bulk processing of all affected adapters, domains and control domains for
affected guests rather than plugging or unplugging them one at a time when
the probe or remove callback is invoked. The two new callbacks are:
void (*on_config_changed)(struct ap_config_info *new_config_info,
struct ap_config_info *old_config_info);
This callback is invoked at the start of the AP bus scan
function when it determines that the host AP configuration information
has changed since the previous scan. This is done by storing
an old and current QCI info struct and comparing them. If there is any
difference, the callback is invoked.
void (*on_scan_complete)(struct ap_config_info *new_config_info,
struct ap_config_info *old_config_info);
The on_scan_complete callback is invoked after the ap bus scan is
completed if the host AP configuration data has changed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
