The driver core standard is to pass in the properly typed object, the
properly typed attribute and the buffer data. It stems from the root
kobject method:

  ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_attribute *attr,..)

Each subclass of kobject should provide their own function with the same
signature but more specific types, eg struct device uses:

  ssize_t (*show)(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr,..)

In this case the existing signature is:

  ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct device *dev,..)

Where kobj is a 'struct mdev_type *' and dev is 'mdev_type-&gt;parent-&gt;dev'.

Change the mdev_type related sysfs attribute functions to:

  ssize_t (*show)(struct mdev_type *mtype, struct mdev_type_attribute *attr,..)

In order to restore type safety and match the driver core standard

There are no current users of 'attr', but if it is ever needed it would be
hard to add in retroactively, so do it now.

The kobj here is a type-erased version of mdev_type, which is already
stored in the struct mdev_device being passed in. It was only ever used to
compute the type_group_id, which is now extracted directly from the mdev.

This returns the index in the supported_type_groups array that is
associated with the mdev_type attached to the struct mdev_device or its
containing struct kobject.

Each mdev_device can be spawned from exactly one mdev_type, which in turn
originates from exactly one supported_type_group.

Drivers are using weird string calculations to try and get back to this
index, providing a direct access to the index removes a bunch of wonky
driver code.

mdev_type-&gt;group can be deleted as the group is obtained using the
type_group_id.

mdev_device-&gt;type-&gt;parent is the same thing.

The struct mdev_device was relying on the kref on the mdev_parent to also
indirectly hold a kref on the mdev_type pointer. Now that the type holds a
kref on the parent we can directly kref the mdev_type and remove this
implicit relationship.

Once the memory for the struct mdev_device is allocated it should
immediately be device_initialize()'d and filled in so that put_device()
can always be used to undo the allocation.

Place the mdev_get/put_parent() so that they are clearly protecting the
mdev-&gt;parent pointer. Move the final put to the release function so that
the lifetime rules are trivial to understand. Update the goto labels to
follow the normal convention.

Remove mdev_device_free() as the release function via device_put() is now
usable in all cases.

The kobj pointer in mdev_device is actually pointing at a struct
mdev_type. Use the proper type so things are understandable.

There are a number of places that are confused and passing both the mdev
and the mtype as function arguments, fix these to derive the mtype
directly from the mdev to remove the redundancy.

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 '&amp;foo-&gt;dev' to go between the class levels, and
'&amp;foo-&gt;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.

While performing some destructive tests with vfio-ccw, where the
paths to a device are forcible removed and thus the device itself
is unreachable, it is rather easy to end up in an endless loop in
vfio_del_group_dev() due to the lack of a request callback for the
associated device.

In this example, one MDEV (77c) is used by a guest, while another
(77b) is not. The symptom is that the iommu is detached from the
mdev for 77b, but not 77c, until that guest is shutdown:

    [  238.794867] vfio_ccw 0.0.077b: MDEV: Unregistering
    [  238.794996] vfio_mdev 11f2d2bc-4083-431d-a023-eff72715c4f0: Removing from iommu group 2
    [  238.795001] vfio_mdev 11f2d2bc-4083-431d-a023-eff72715c4f0: MDEV: detaching iommu
    [  238.795036] vfio_ccw 0.0.077c: MDEV: Unregistering
    ...silence...

Let's wire in the request call back to the mdev device, so that a
device being physically removed from the host can be (gracefully?)
handled by the parent device at the time the device is removed.

Add a message when registering the device if a driver doesn't
provide this callback, so a clue is given that this same loop
may be encountered in a similar situation, and a message when
this occurs instead of the awkward silence noted above.
