[PATCH v3 00/40] CXL.mem Topology Discovery and Hotplug Support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Changes since v2 [1]:
- Rework the series to clarify the role of 'struct cxl_port' objects and
  fix hotplug bugs.
  - Drop the cxl_topology_host() concept.
  - Fix endpoint unregistration relative to port ->remove() and
    switch-port unregistration relative to to endpoint ->remove().
- Add cxl_test infrastructure to validate switch enumeration and various
  hotplug scenarios (see upcoming updates to the 'cxl' tool for the
  userspace side of this testing).
- Add lockdep coverage of the CXL subsystem's use of the device_lock().
- Add a "Theory of Operation" section to
  Documentation/driver-api/cxl/memory-devices.rst describing the
  behavior and role of the 'struct bus_type cxl_bus_type' instance (see:
  [PATCH v3 24/40] cxl/port: Add a driver for 'struct cxl_port' objects).
- For timeout scenarios like mailbox ready time, memory valid, memory
  active, use a sleeping wait rather than a spin wait
- Add a 'serial' attribute to memory devices since CXL mandates device
  implement the PCIe Device Serial Number definition.
- Rename report_status() / report_cmd_status() cxl_err() / cxl_cmd_err()

The CXL subsystem enabling story so far has been concerned with
enumerating the platform firmware described "root" level of a CXL
topology (CXL capable Host Bridges and CXL platform address ranges), and
the endpoint level (CXL Memory Expanders identified by PCIe class code).
The next phase is connecting endpoints to that root description by an
arbitrary number of intervening switch ports.

The driver for CXL Memory Expanders, 'cxl_pci', registers a 'struct
cxl_memdev' on the CXL bus. To date that device has only served as the
entry point for submitting CXL Memory Device control and management
commands. Now a new 'cxl_mem' driver takes that device and probes the
topology to validate it is capable of CXL.mem operations.

As 'cxl_mem' probes the topology it registers 'struct cxl_port'
instances at each Upstream Switch Port that it finds on the walk to the
CXL root. Each of those port device in turn attempt to attach to a
'cxl_port' driver. The 'cxl_port' probe process enumerates Downstream
Ports and CXL HDM Decoder Capability structures. If cxl_port_probe()
fails it unwinds all descendent ports that were previously registered
and ultimately fails cxl_mem_probe() as result.

This design lets CXL Port capabilities be enumerated late, and only in
the presence of attached Memory Expander endpoints.

- The first 16 patches are fixes and preparatory cleanups including
  support for validating usage of device_lock() in the subsystem.
- Patches 17-24 centralize Downstream Port and HDM Decoder Capability
  enumeration in the core and then introduces the cxl_port driver.
- Patches 25-33 validates the CXL.mem link came up in endpoints, adds
  core infrastructure to enumerate Swicht Ports, and adds the cxl_mem
  driver.
- Patches 34 and 35 add endpoint decoder enumeration.
- The last 5 patches add cxl_test infrastructure to validate all the
  mechanics of attaching and detaching cxl_port and cxl_memdev
  instances.

See the Documentation updates in patch 24 for more details.
