The idea was to indicate that the AP adapters, domains and control
domains configured in the shadow APCB are being hot plugged into
a running guest. Having said that, I can see your point. I'm not married to
the function name, but I would prefer to go with
'vfio_ap_update_guest_apcb()' to distinguish between the shadow and
the real apcb.

The reason I didn't do that is because we've already verified the
matrix_mdev->kvm in kvm_arch_crypto_set_masks(). I'm not sure what
it buys us, but I'm not adverse to making the change.

Makes sense, but I think I'll go with prev_shadow_apm, prev_shadow_aqm and
prev_shadow_adm. That seems more accurate since these are not the original
copies of the bitmaps, but copies of the previous versions prior to 
filtering.

I'm going to have to disagree, this locking scheme makes no sense outside of
this series. It is only necessary because we now update a guest's APCB
whenever an adapter, domain or control domain is assigned or unassigned,
when a queue device is probed or removed and when the vfio_ap driver is
notified that the host's AP configuration has changed.

Prior to this series, a guest's APCB was updated only when the vfio_ap
driver was notified that the KVM pointer was set or cleared, so it was
only necessary to ensure the kvm->lock is taken before the matrix_dev->lock
in the functions that handle the VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM group
notification event. Prior to this, a patch series to introduce the 
matrix_dev->guests lock
would make no sense because it is not needed to enforce the locking 
order in those
functions listed in the previous paragraph because we didn't update the 
guest's
APCB in those functions.

I didn't move it to be closer to where it is used, I moved it because it 
was not
necessary to do the memset/set_bit_inv when not necessary to do so. Having
said that, it can definitely be moved after the vfio_ap_mdev_link_adapter().

The purpose of this bitmap is to limit the filtering to the new APID 
being assigned
because there is no need to do filtering of adapters already assigned; 
so, it is not
really a new apm per se. It might be more accurate to call it new_apid 
or new_apids,
although there will only be one bit set in the bitmap.

Ditto on the responses.
