+===========
+CDAT Tables
+===========
+
+The Coherent Device Attribute Table (CDAT) is created to provide a standard way to
+expose the properties of a device such as an CXL accelerator or switch. The table
+formatting is similar to ACPI tables. The tables are created to provide performance
+calculation of a hot-plugged device where ACPI HMAT+SRAT tables are not able to
+enumerate the performance by the BIOS ahead of time.
+
+The following CDAT tables contain *static* configuration and performance data about CXL devices.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+
+   cdat/dsmas.rst
+   cdat/dslbis.rst
+   cdat/sslbis.rst
+
+The Linux CXL driver uses these tables in addition to attributes of the CXL links and
+Generic Target performance data provided by HMAT+SRAT to create the whole path performance
+for a CXL device.

+DSLBIS - Device Scoped Latency and Bandwidth Information Structure
+==================================================================
+
+The Device Scoped Latency and Bandwidth Information Structure contains latency
+and bandwidth information based on DSMADHandle matching.
+
+This table is used by Linux in conjunction with Device scoped Memory Affinity
+Structure to determine the performance attributes of a CXL device.
