commit 2ccd42b959aaf490333dbd3b9b102eaf295c036a upstream.
If we finds a vq without a name in our input array in virtio_ccw_find_vqs(), we treat it as "non-existing" and set the vq pointer to NULL; we will not call virtio_ccw_setup_vq() to allocate/setup a vq.
Consequently, we create only a queue if it actually exists (name != NULL) and assign an incremental queue index to each such existing queue.
However, in virtio_ccw_register_adapter_ind()->get_airq_indicator() we will not ignore these "non-existing queues", but instead assign an airq indicator to them.
Besides never releasing them in virtio_ccw_drop_indicators() (because there is no virtqueue), the bigger issue seems to be that there will be a disagreement between the device and the Linux guest about the airq indicator to be used for notifying a queue, because the indicator bit for adapter I/O interrupt is derived from the queue index.
The virtio spec states under "Setting Up Two-Stage Queue Indicators":
... indicator contains the guest address of an area wherein the indicators for the devices are contained, starting at bit_nr, one bit per virtqueue of the device.
And further in "Notification via Adapter I/O Interrupts":
For notifying the driver of virtqueue buffers, the device sets the bit in the guest-provided indicator area at the corresponding offset.
For example, QEMU uses in virtio_ccw_notify() the queue index (passed as "vector") to select the relevant indicator bit. If a queue does not exist, it does not have a corresponding indicator bit assigned, because it effectively doesn't have a queue index.
Using a virtio-balloon-ccw device under QEMU with free-page-hinting disabled ("free-page-hint=off") but free-page-reporting enabled ("free-page-reporting=on") will result in free page reporting not working as expected: in the virtio_balloon driver, we'll be stuck forever in virtballoon_free_page_report()->wait_event(), because the waitqueue will not be woken up as the notification from the device is lost: it would use the wrong indicator bit.
Free page reporting stops working and we get splats (when configured to detect hung wqs) like:

There was recently a discussion [1] whether the "holes" should be treated differently again, effectively assigning also non-existing queues a queue index: that should also fix the issue, but requires other workarounds to not break existing setups.
Let's fix it without affecting existing setups for now by properly ignoring the non-existing queues, so the indicator bits will match the queue indexes.
