Instead of abusing struct attribute_group to control initialization of
struct mdev_type, just define the actual attributes in the mdev_driver,
allocate the mdev_type structures in the caller and pass them to
mdev_register_parent.
This allows the caller to use container_of to get at the containing
structure and thus significantly simplify the code.

The device creator is supposed to use the dev.groups value to add sysfs
files before device_add is called, not call sysfs_create_files() after
device_add() returns. This creates a race with uevent delivery where the
extra attribute will not be visible.
This was being done because the groups had been co-opted by the mdev
driver, now that prior patches have moved the driver's groups to the
struct device_driver the dev.group is properly free for use here.

The driver core standard is to pass in the properly typed object, the
properly typed attribute and the buffer data. It stems from the root
kobject method:
ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_attribute *attr,..)
Each subclass of kobject should provide their own function with the same
signature but more specific types, eg struct device uses:
ssize_t (*show)(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr,..)
In this case the existing signature is:
ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct device *dev,..)
Where kobj is a 'struct mdev_type *' and dev is 'mdev_type->parent->dev'.
Change the mdev_type related sysfs attribute functions to:
ssize_t (*show)(struct mdev_type *mtype, struct mdev_type_attribute *attr,..)
In order to restore type safety and match the driver core standard
There are no current users of 'attr', but if it is ever needed it would be
hard to add in retroactively, so do it now.

originates from exactly one supported_type_group.
Drivers are using weird string calculations to try and get back to this

The mdev API should accept and pass a 'struct mdev_device *' in all
places, not pass a 'struct device *' and cast it internally with
to_mdev_device(). Particularly in its struct mdev_driver functions, the
whole point of a bus's struct device_driver wrapper is to provide type
safety compared to the default struct device_driver.
Further, the driver core standard is for bus drivers to expose their
device structure in their public headers that can be used with
container_of() inlines and '&foo->dev' to go between the class levels, and
'&foo->dev' to be used with dev_err/etc driver core helper functions. Move
'struct mdev_device' to mdev.h
Once done this allows moving some one instruction exported functions to
static inlines, which in turns allows removing one of the two grotesque
symbol_get()'s related to mdev in the core code.

For instance the attribute_group is made visible in sysfs_create_files()

Which will crash on NULL parent. Move the parent setup to before the type

This patch addresses below two issues and prepares the code to address
3rd issue listed below.
1. mdev device is placed on the mdev bus before it is created in the
vendor driver. Once a device is placed on the mdev bus without creating
its supporting underlying vendor device, mdev driver's probe() gets
triggered. However there isn't a stable mdev available to work on.
create_store()
mdev_create_device()
device_register()
...
vfio_mdev_probe()
[...]
parent->ops->create()
vfio_ap_mdev_create()
mdev_set_drvdata(mdev, matrix_mdev);
/* Valid pointer set above */
Due to this way of initialization, mdev driver who wants to use the mdev,
doesn't have a valid mdev to work on.
2. Current creation sequence is,
parent->ops_create()
groups_register()
Remove sequence is,
parent->ops->remove()
groups_unregister()
However, remove sequence should be exact mirror of creation sequence.
Once this is achieved, all users of the mdev will be terminated first
before removing underlying vendor device.
(Follow standard linux driver model).
At that point vendor's remove() ops shouldn't fail because taking the
device off the bus should terminate any usage.
3. When remove operation fails, mdev sysfs removal attempts to add the
file back on already removed device. Following call trace [1] is observed.
[1] call trace:
kernel: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 9348 at fs/sysfs/file.c:327 sysfs_create_file_ns+0x7f/0x90

Therefore, mdev core is improved in following ways.
1. Split the device registration/deregistration sequence so that some
things can be done between initialization of the device and hooking it
up to the bus respectively after deregistering it from the bus but
before giving up our final reference.
In particular, this means invoking the ->create() and ->remove()
callbacks in those new windows. This gives the vendor driver an
initialized mdev device to work with during creation.
At the same time, a bus driver who wish to bind to mdev driver also
gets initialized mdev device.
This follows standard Linux kernel bus and device model.
2. During remove flow, first remove the device from the bus. This
ensures that any bus specific devices are removed.
Once device is taken off the mdev bus, invoke remove() of mdev
from the vendor driver.
3. The driver core device model provides way to register and auto
unregister the device sysfs attribute groups at dev->groups.
Make use of dev->groups to let core create the groups and eliminate
code to avoid explicit groups creation and removal.
To ensure, that new sequence is solid, a below stack dump of a
process is taken who attempts to remove the device while device is in
use by vfio driver and user application.
This stack dump validates that vfio driver guards against such device
removal when device is in use.

Design for Mediated Device Driver:
Main purpose of this driver is to provide a common interface for mediated
device management that can be used by different drivers of different
devices.
This module provides a generic interface to create the device, add it to
mediated bus, add device to IOMMU group and then add it to vfio group.
Below is the high Level block diagram, with Nvidia, Intel and IBM devices
as example, since these are the devices which are going to actively use
this module as of now.

Core driver provides two types of registration interfaces:
1. Registration interface for mediated bus driver:
/**
* struct mdev_driver - Mediated device's driver
* @name: driver name
* @probe: called when new device created
* @remove:called when device removed
* @driver:device driver structure
*
**/
struct mdev_driver {
const char *name;
int (*probe) (struct device *dev);
void (*remove) (struct device *dev);
struct device_driver driver;
};
Mediated bus driver for mdev device should use this interface to register
and unregister with core driver respectively:
int mdev_register_driver(struct mdev_driver *drv, struct module *owner);
void mdev_unregister_driver(struct mdev_driver *drv);
Mediated bus driver is responsible to add/delete mediated devices to/from
VFIO group when devices are bound and unbound to the driver.
2. Physical device driver interface
This interface provides vendor driver the set APIs to manage physical
device related work in its driver. APIs are :
* dev_attr_groups: attributes of the parent device.
* mdev_attr_groups: attributes of the mediated device.
* supported_type_groups: attributes to define supported type. This is
mandatory field.
* create: to allocate basic resources in vendor driver for a mediated
device. This is mandatory to be provided by vendor driver.
* remove: to free resources in vendor driver when mediated device is
destroyed. This is mandatory to be provided by vendor driver.
* open: open callback of mediated device
* release: release callback of mediated device
* read : read emulation callback.
* write: write emulation callback.
* ioctl: ioctl callback.
* mmap: mmap emulation callback.
Drivers should use these interfaces to register and unregister device to
mdev core driver respectively:
extern int mdev_register_device(struct device *dev,
const struct parent_ops *ops);
extern void mdev_unregister_device(struct device *dev);
