Subject: [PATCH] tools/testing/cxl: Align mock CFMWS to PMD_SIZE for ARM64 64K pages
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 07:35:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519233523.5991-1-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)
cxl_test allocate synthetic CFMWS HPA windows out of a gen_pool and asks
the allocator for SZ_256M alignment. It has been sufficient on x86 with
4k pages, arm64 with 4k pages since their PMD_SIZE are 2MB.
But for 64k-page arm64 kernel with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y and
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=3 , the PMD_SIZE is 512 MB, which is much larger
than the alignment cxl_test guarantees. That results in every CXL region
carved from that window inherits a mis-aligned start.
The DAX driver's cxl_dax_region_probe() then calls "alloc_dax_region()
and the probe fails with -ENOMEM, with error message
"""
cxl_dax_region dax_region1: probe with driver cxl_dax_region failed
with error -12
"""
It was hit while bringing up cxl_test on an ARM64 server with
ARM64_64K_PAGES config.
Raise the alignment passed to "alloc"mock_res()" to the larger of
SZ_256M and PMD_SIZE so that the mock CFMWS window is always at least as
well-aligned as "alloc_dax_region()" require.
