Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Region creation
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 10:36:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210617173655.430424-1-ben.widawsky@intel.com> (raw)

CXL interleave sets and non-interleave sets are described via regions. A region
is specified in the CXL 2.0 specification and the purpose is to create a
standardized way to preserve the region across reboots.

Introduced here is the basic mechanism to create configure and delete a CXL
region. Configuring a region simply means giving it a size, UUID, and a target
list. Enabling/activating a region is comprised of three parts:
1. Validate and find space for the region in the CFMWS (included here)
2. Program the HDM decoders (WIP)
3. Adding the region label to the LSA (Dan WIP)

Here is a sample topology

    decoder1.0
    ├── create_region
    ├── delete_region
    ├── devtype
    ├── locked
    ├── region1.0:0
    │   ├── offset
    │   ├── size
    │   ├── subsystem -> ../../../../../../../bus/cxl
    │   ├── target0
    │   ├── uevent
    │   ├── uuid
    │   └── verify
    ├── size
    ├── start
    ├── subsystem -> ../../../../../../bus/cxl
    ├── target_list
    ├── target_type
    └── uevent

Next Steps.
Next task is to create a CXL memory driver which will enumerate CXL capable
endpoints. A CXL capable endpoint is similar to the existing cxl_mem structure
except that it's known that there exists a path from a hostbridge down to the
endpoint that is CXL.mem capable. Once that path is established, the HDM decoder
programming can be determined from top of the hierarchy down.
