    vfio/pci: Remove vfio_device_get_from_dev() · ff806cbd
    Jason Gunthorpe authored
    The last user of this function is in PCI callbacks that want to convert
    their struct pci_dev to a vfio_device. Instead of searching use the
    vfio_device available trivially through the drvdata.
    
    When a callback in the device_driver is called, the caller must hold the
    device_lock() on dev. The purpose of the device_lock is to prevent
    remove() from being called (see __device_release_driver), and allow the
    driver to safely interact with its drvdata without races.
    
    The PCI core correctly follows this and holds the device_lock() when
    calling error_detected (see report_error_detected) and
    sriov_configure (see sriov_numvfs_store).
    
    Further, since the drvdata holds a positive refcount on the vfio_device
    any access of the drvdata, under the device_lock(), from a driver callback
    needs no further protection or refcounting.
    
    Thus the remark in the vfio_device_get_from_dev() comment does not apply
    here, VFIO PCI drivers all call vfio_unregister_group_dev() from their
    remove callbacks under the device_lock() and cannot race with the
    remaining callers.
