There exists a gap at the end of mdev_device_create() where the device
is visible to userspace, but we're not yet ready to handle removal, as
triggered through the 'remove' attribute. We handle this properly in
mdev_device_remove() with an -EAGAIN return, but we can marginally
reduce this gap by adding this attribute as a final step of our sysfs
setup.

When we create an mdev device, we check for duplicates against the
parent device and return -EEXIST if found, but the mdev device
namespace is global since we'll link all devices from the bus. We do
catch this later in sysfs_do_create_link_sd() to return -EEXIST, but
with it comes a kernel warning and stack trace for trying to create
duplicate sysfs links, which makes it an undesirable response.
Therefore we should really be looking for duplicates across all mdev
parent devices, or as implemented here, against our mdev device list.
Using mdev_list to prevent duplicates means that we can remove
mdev_parent.lock, but in order not to serialize mdev device creation
and removal globally, we add mdev_device.active which allows UUIDs to
be reserved such that we can drop the mdev_list_lock before the mdev
device is fully in place.
Two behavioral notes; first, mdev_parent.lock had the side-effect of
serializing mdev create and remove ops per parent device. This was
an implementation detail, not an intentional guarantee provided to
the mdev vendor drivers. Vendor drivers can trivially provide this
serialization internally if necessary. Second, review comments note
the new -EAGAIN behavior when the device, and in particular the remove
attribute, becomes visible in sysfs. If a remove is triggered prior
to completion of mdev_device_create() the user will see a -EAGAIN
error. While the errno is different, receiving an error during this
period is not, the previous implementation returned -ENODEV for the
same condition. Furthermore, the consistency to the user is improved
in the case where mdev_device_remove_ops() returns error. Previously
concurrent calls to mdev_device_remove() could see the device
disappear with -ENODEV and return in the case of error. Now a user
would see -EAGAIN while the device is in this transitory state.

Use an explicit module softdep rather than a request module call such
that the dependency is exposed to userspace. This allows us to more
easily support modules loaded at initrd time.

Using the mtty mdev sample driver we can generate a remove race by
starting one shell that continuously creates mtty devices and several
other shells all attempting to remove devices, in my case four remove
shells. The fault occurs in mdev_remove_sysfs_files() where the
passed type arg is NULL, which suggests we've received a struct device
in mdev_device_remove() but it's in some sort of teardown state. The
solution here is to make use of the accidentally unused list_head on
the mdev_device such that the mdev core keeps a list of all the mdev
devices. This allows us to validate that we have a valid mdev before
we start removal, remove it from the list to prevent others from
working on it, and if the vendor driver refuses to remove, we can
re-add it to the list.

vfio_mdev driver registers with mdev core driver.
mdev core driver creates mediated device and calls probe routine of
vfio_mdev driver for each device.
Probe routine of vfio_mdev driver adds mediated device to VFIO core module
This driver forms a shim layer that pass through VFIO devices operations
to vendor driver for mediated devices.

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);
There are no locks to serialize above callbacks in mdev driver and
vfio_mdev driver. If required, vendor driver can have locks to serialize
above APIs in their driver.
