After 51cdc8bc120e, we have another deadlock scenario between the
kvm->lock and the vfio group_lock with two different codepaths acquiring
the locks in different order.  Specifically in vfio_open_device, vfio
holds the vfio group_lock when issuing device->ops->open_device but some
drivers (like vfio-ap) need to acquire kvm->lock during their open_device
routine;  Meanwhile, kvm_vfio_release will acquire the kvm->lock first
before calling vfio_file_set_kvm which will acquire the vfio group_lock.

To resolve this, let's remove the need for the vfio group_lock from the
kvm_vfio_release codepath.  This is done by introducing a new spinlock to
protect modifications to the vfio group kvm pointer, and acquiring a kvm
ref from within vfio while holding this spinlock, with the reference held
until the last close for the device in question.

Changes from v1:
* use spin_lock instead of spin_lock_irqsave (Jason)
* clear device->kvm_put as part of vfio_kvm_put_kvm (Yi)
* Re-arrange code to avoid referencing the group contents from within
  vfio_main (Kevin) which meant moving most of the code in this patch 
  to group.c along with getting/dropping of the dev_set lock

I'm tempted to name these vfio_device_get_kvm_safe() and only pass the
vfio_device, where of course we can get the kvm pointer from the group
internally.

We should assert_lockdep_held(&device->dev_set->lock) in both of these
since that seems to be what's protecting device->kvm and
device->put_kvm.

If we change as above to get the kvm pointer from the group within this
function, we can also move the kvm_ref_lock here, which seems to
simplify the caller quite a bit.

It simplifies the caller if we can use this even in the !device->kvm
case.

We're using device->group->kvm outside of kvm_ref_lock here, it should
be using device->kvm.

Slightly redundant, if device->open_count == 0 here, we can infer ret
is non-zero.

I fiddled with it a little further, see if you like anything from the
version below and incorporate what you do.  Thanks,

Existing code set device->kvm in the vfio_device_first_open() which is
called by vfio_device_open(). After above change, seems not necessary
to pass kvm pointer into the call chain. Isn't it?

Looks so.

I have a different thought. In the end the cdev series also need the similar
safe get/put logic then it's better to keep it in vfio_main.c called by
the group/cdev path individually.

Yes, we can get it from the device.  I didn't check how much this
bloats the patch though.  As a fix, it might make sense to save that
refactoring for a follow-on patch.  Thanks,

Ah, I hadn't considered the cdev series - OK, I can move the functions back into vfio_main and externalize both via drivers/vfio/vfio.h so they can be called from group.c for this fix and then available to vfio_main.c already for cdev.
