Subject: [PATCH v5 22/27] vfio/cxl: Clear the HDM access gate after a hot reset
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:05:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916183540.3813685-23-mhonap@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916183540.3813685-1-mhonap@nvidia.com>
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@nvidia.com>
The HDM memory fault inserts a PFN only when the decoder is in a
known-good state (cxl->hdm_valid), so the host CPU never faults the
coherent range into a disabled decoder.
VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET drives a plain secondary bus reset rather than
the CXL reset sequence, so nothing restores the decoder in the
reset_done handler. A secondary bus reset only reaches a CXL endpoint
when the upstream port has SBR unmasked (CXL r3.1 sec 8.1.5.2); in that
case the reset decommits the decoder, so clear cxl->hdm_valid to keep a
later fault from inserting a PFN into a dead decoder.
A subsequent VFIO_DEVICE_RESET runs the CXL reset sequence and restores
it, and a masked SBR is a no-op that leaves the decoder intact.
vfio_cxl_sbr_unmasked() mirrors the cxl_sbr_masked() check the PCI core
uses (drivers/pci/pci.c) for its own CXL bus reset.
