This patch also: * Clarifies the section on configuring the AP bus's apmask and aqmask. * Adds sections on dynamic configuration using the SE or SCLP command.

When the AP bus +detects an AP queue device, its APQN is checked against the set of APQNs +derived from the apmask and aqmask. If a match is detected, the zcrypt +device driver registered for the device type of the queue will be probed. If +a match is not detected and the device type of the queue is CEX4 or newer, +the vfio_ap device driver will be probed. + +By default, the two masks are set to give ownership of all APQNs to zcrypt. +There are two ways the default masks can be changed: + +1. The sysfs mask files can be edited by echoing a string into the + respective sysfs mask file in one of two formats: + + * An absolute hex string starting with 0x - like "0x12345678" - sets + the mask. If the given string is shorter than the mask, it is padded + with 0s on the right; for example, specifying a mask value of 0x41 is + the same as specifying:: + + 0x4100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 + + Keep in mind that the mask reads from left to right, so the mask + above identifies device numbers 1 and 7 (01000001). + + If the string is longer than the mask, the operation is terminated with + an error (EINVAL). + + * Individual bits in the mask can be switched on and off by specifying + each bit number to be switched in a comma separated list.

Since sharing of AP queues is prohibited, this pool of available +APQNs must be further provisioned amongst guests. A mediated matrix device +is created for each guest that will require access to one or more AP queues. +To provision APQNs for a guest, a mediated matrix device provides two sysfs +attribute interfaces in the mediated device's subdirectory: + + /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix/ + --- [mdev_supported_types] + ------ [vfio_ap-passthrough] + --------- create + --------- [devices] + ------------ [$uuid] + --------------- assign_adapter + --------------- assign_domain + --------------- matrix + --------------- guest_matrix + + 1. assign_adapter + + An adapter is assigned to a mediated matrix device by echoing an adapter + number (APID) into the the 'assign_adapter' interface; for example, to + assign adapter 12: + + echo 12 > assign_adapter + or + echo 0xc > assign_adapter + + In order to successfully assign an adapter: + + * The adapter number specified must represent a value from 0 up to the + maximum adapter number configured for the system.

Consider the following +example: + + * AP queues installed in the host: + + /sys/bus/ap/devices + --- 01.0004 + --- 01.0005 + --- 01.0006 + --- 01.0007 + + --- 02.0004 + --- 02.0005 + --- 02.0006 + --- 02.0007 + + --- 03.0004 + --- 03.0005 + --- 03.0006 + --- 03.0007 + + * The apmask and aqmask are configured as follows: + + apmask: 0x7000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 + aqmask: 0x0c00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 + + The masks specify the following: + + owned by zcrypt: + 01.0004 + 01.0005 + 02.0004 + 02.0005 + 03.0004 + 03.0005 + + * The matrix assigned to the mediated matrix device $uuid is: + + 01.0006 + 01.0007 + 02.0006 + 02.0007 + 03.0006 + 03.0007 + +If we execute the following: + + echo +8 > aqmask + +This will result in the following new masks: + + apmask: 0x7000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 + aqmask: 0x0c80000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 + + owned by zcrypt: + 01.0004 + 01.0005 + 01.0008 + 02.0004 + 02.0005 + 02.0008 + 03.0004 + 03.0005 + 03.0008 + +From this, we can see that ownership of APQNs 01.0008, 02.0008, and 03.0008 +changed from the vfio_ap device driver to the host zcrypt driver. In order to +change ownership of one or more APQNs from the vfio_ap device driver to a zcrypt +driver, none of the APQNs can be assigned to a mediated matrix device. If even +one of the APQNs is assigned to a mediated matrix device, the operation to +change the mask will fail with an error (EADDRINUSE). In this example, +APQNs 01.0007, 02.0007 and 03.0007 are assigned to mediated device $uuid, so the +following aqmask operation would fail if attempted: + + echo +7 > aqmask + +In order to free up APQNs 01.0007, 02.0007 and 03.0007 to make them available to +zcrypt, the APQNs must first be unassigned from mediated matrix device $uuid. +Unfortunately, the AP architecture precludes unassignment of individual APQNs, +so we are left with the choice of either unassigning adapters 1, 2 and 3, or +unassigning domain 7 from mediated device $uuid. Note that if an adapter is +unassigned, then all domains within the adapter will become unavailable to the +guest using the mediated device. In our example, unassigning adapters 1,2 and 3 +would leave a guest using mediated device $uuid without any adapters. If a +domain is unassigned, then access to that domain within each adapter assigned to +the mediated matrix device will become unavailable to the guest. For our +example, if domain 7 is unassigned, that would remove access to AP queues +01.0007, 02.0007 and 03.0007.
