Subject: [PATCH v5 16/27] vfio/cxl: Create the CXL memdev and set media ready at bind
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:05:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916183540.3813685-17-mhonap@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916183540.3813685-1-mhonap@nvidia.com>
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@nvidia.com>
At bind, build the CXL memory device for the passed-through Type-2
accelerator so it joins the CXL topology and its HDM region resolves to a
host physical range. A Type-2 device has no mailbox, so there is no
media-ready register to poll: set media ready directly once the component
registers validate (mirroring drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/efx_cxl.c)
As per current vfio-cxl support, reject a device with:
- more than one HDM decoder
- interleaving enabled
- whose reset the host cannot service
The CXL-core allocations are grouped with devres so a failed bind unwinds
them: init failure falls back to plain vfio-pci with the device still
bound, so devm would otherwise hold them until unbind.
A low-power transition would reset the CXL Type-2 function and lose
its CXL.mem contents, so keep it in D0 while it is assigned.
