Subject: [PATCH 1/3] cxl/memdev: Improve sanitize ABI descriptions
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 07:01:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240422070125.52519-1-dongsheng.yang@easystack.cn> (raw)
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>
Be more detailed about the CPU cache management situation. The same
goes for both sanitize and secure erase.
