Bug description:
SRU Justification:
[ Impact ]
* For non-VFs, function zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() should return false,
because they aren't VFs.
While zpci_iov_find_parent_pf() specifically checks if a function is a VF,
it then simply returns that there is no parent.
* The simplistic check for a parent then leads to these functions being
confused with isolated VFs, and isolating them on their own domain even
if sibling PFs should share the domain.
[ Fix ]
* This is fixed by explicitly checking if a function is not a VF.
(Notice that at this point the case where RIDs are ignored is already
handled - and in this case all PCI functions get isolated by being
properly detected in zpci_bus_is_multifunction_root().)
* 8691abd3afaa "s390/pci: Fix zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() for non-VFs"
[ Test Plan ]
* Setup Ubuntu Server (24.04/24.10) for s390x on an IBM z17
or LinuxONE 5 LPAR.
* Have at least two PCIe adapters that support PF/VF (like RoCE Express)
available in that LPAR.
* Attach multiple PFs of a PF access mode device (notice that this is only
possible with z17 and L1-5 hardware), such as the two PFs of a NETD
to the same LPAR.
* Observe that they are put into separate PCI domains
instead of sharing the same domain as expected by drivers.
* Due to lack of hardware, the verification will be conducted by IBM.
* The fix was discussed upstream and flagged a stable kernel update.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* The modification is limited to one additional if statement
across two lines) in function zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf()
in file arch/s390/pci/pci_bus.c.
* Hence the modification will be limited to the s390x-specific parts of
the PCI code in the kernel (sometimes refers to as zPCI),
and will NOT impact any other architecture!
* If add. if-statement is not correct and a wrong bool is returned,
function zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() might report and incorrect zpci_bus
status. Either isolated when it's not or not-isolated when it really is.
* And since the new if statement got inserted before the already existing
'if (!pdev)', the latter code in function zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf()
might be accidentally skipped.
* All this might lead to a similar confusion of the functions in regard to
isolated VFs status and whether isolating them on their own domain even
or not, hence proper testing is needed.
[ Other Info ]
* Since the commit got upstream accepted with v6.15-rc1,
'Questing' is not affected.
* Plucky got fixed with
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2108854
(cherry-picked as
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/plucky/commit/?id=58412b2aa12aa43c90d5414e22898a041ec05e8a)
* Hence the only remaining affected releases, that contain the offending
commit ("s390/pci: Fix handling of isolated VFs"), are oracular and noble.
* Since this issue does not happen (thus cannot be recreated nor tested)
on the IBM Z hardware we have in Canonical, the verification(s) will be
done by IBM on most recent hardware.

s390/pci: Fix zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() for non-VFs

-------------------------
For non-VFs, zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() should return false
because they
aren't VFs. While zpci_iov_find_parent_pf() specifically checks
if
a function is a VF, it then simply returns that there is no
parent. The
simplistic check for a parent then leads to these functions
being
confused with isolated VFs and isolating them on their own
domain even
if sibling PFs should share the domain.
Fix this by explicitly checking if a function is not a VF. Note
also
that at this point the case where RIDs are ignored is already
handled
and in this case all PCI functions get isolated by being
detected in
zpci_bus_is_multifunction_root().
