I would have expected this to be region scoped, that would also allow
them to all be listed as extents on the "cxl" bus because they are CXL
objects.

So at a minimum they would be named:

dev_set_name(dev, "extent%d.%d", cxlr->id, extent_id)

...but given the idea to have multiple dax_region as the management
mechanism for coarse routing of tags by regions this might want to be a
triplet of

cxlr->id, dcd_dax_region_id, extent_id

...at a minimum lets give some freedom to figure out the tag routing
mechanism especially with the threat of multiple dax_region's per
cxl_region.

For something called offset I would expect the output to be relative to
the base HPA of the parent cxl_region. Implementation below looks like
an absolute, not an offset.

Now it might be an offset but "hpa_range" refers to an absolute range
everywhere else it appears in the driver.

Note "%pa" is for "phys_addr_t" or "resource_size_t" because those
alternate between "unsigned long" and "unsigned long long". Likely this
is subtly safe because there is currently no place where a phys_addr_t
is larger than a u64, but I would feel better if this assigned to
phys_addr_t or just did %#llx since I think u64 is always an "unsigned
long long"

Same %pa vs phys_addr_t vs u64 comment.

I like Jonathan's suggestion of just uuid formatting this and calling it
"tag" since these things are CXL device objects they can have CXL
attributes.

If the tag is empty then just hide this attribute.

Just use __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() helper for this. Note I recommended that
over ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() since the latter does not allow an is_visible()
callback to be specified.

Does the reg_ext abbreviation really buy that much versus just typing
out region_extent?

No, Linux object release time is too late to touch the hardware state.
Unregister time is more appropriate. However, this gets back to whole
question about "why should the kernel automatically send a release for
extents that it found present at the beginning of time?"

For example the driver does not reset endpoint decoders on driver
shutdown, why should it free extents just because the driver got
unbound?

Now the question becomes when should it free extents? I am thinking the
policy to start should be identical to endpoint decoders. I.e. explicit
decommitting the region causes all decode state including extents to be
freed and FM release dynamic capacity events to idle capacity are the
only methods that extents get released.

What outside the core needs this export?

Another use for a %par range print helper.

another instance of the "tag as uuid" feedback.

Lets also place these objects on the cxl_bus_type alongside endpoint
decoders etc...

It is awkward to use &cxlr_dax->dev as the devm host here. How do you
know that that @cxlr_dax is or is not attached to its driver at this
point?

Likely if you want this to be the devm host this device enumeration
should be deferred to cxl_dax_region_probe() in drivers/dax/cxl.c.

...and here is the danger of predefining stub functions in one patch and
filling them in later. The validation of extents needed to be moved
earlier in the flow, closer to cxl_region_attach() time, and review of
dax_region_create_ext() identified it needed to be later in the flow.

Empty stubs like this run the risk of not having enough context to
justify when and where they are called.

Why is _ed_ in the name. It feels like 'struct cxl_extent' is the lowest
level "extent" type to worry about, and a 'struct cxl_region_extent is
an object that represents an interleave-set of extents in HPA space.

All the other to_ () helpers do runtime object type-safety which
is why all the is_ () helpers exist.

Maybe a future patch needs these to be used outside the core, but seems
a premature export at this point.
