driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *
In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory.
Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.
For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory.

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.

bus: Make remove callback return void
The driver core ignores the return value of this callback because there is only little it can do when a device disappears.
This is the final bit of a long lasting cleanup quest where several buses were converted to also return void from their remove callback. Additionally some resource leaks were fixed that were caused by drivers returning an error code in the expectation that the driver won't go away.
With struct bus_type::remove returning void it's prevented that newly implemented buses return an ignored error code and so don't anticipate wrong expectations for driver authors.

This allows a mdev driver to opt out of using vfio_mdev.c, instead the driver will provide a 'struct mdev_driver' and register directly with the driver core.
Much of mdev_parent_ops becomes unused in this mode: - create()/remove() are done via the mdev_driver probe()/remove() - mdev_attr_groups becomes mdev_driver driver.dev_groups - Wrapper function callbacks are replaced with the same ones from struct vfio_device_ops

vfio/mdev: Simplify driver registration
This is only done once, we don't need to generate code to initialize a structure stored in the ELF .data segment. Fill in the three required .driver members directly instead of copying data into them during mdev_register_driver().
Further the to_mdev_driver() function doesn't belong in a public header, just inline it into the two places that need it. Finally, we can now clearly see that 'drv' derived from dev->driver cannot be NULL, firstly because the driver core forbids it, and secondly because NULL won't pass through the container_of(). Remove the dead code.

vfio/mdev: Add missing typesafety around mdev_device
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.

vfio: Mediated device Core driver
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.
