Subject: [PATCH v4] cxl/test: Enforce PMD alignment for volatile mock regions
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 17:03:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527090332.30002-1-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)
cxl_test allocates synthetic CFMWS HPA windows from a gen_pool with
SZ_256M alignment. On arm64 with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y and
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=3, PMD_SIZE is 512M, so every CXL region carved
from a volatile window inherits a non-PMD-aligned start, and
cxl_dax_region_probe() -> alloc_dax_region() fails:
"""
cxl_dax_region dax_region1: probe with driver cxl_dax_region failed
with error -12
"""
Enforce that every volatile mock CFMWS is PMD-aligned in both start and
size

Changelog:
v3->v4:
- Replace compile-time BUILD_BUG_ON() with runtime
IS_ALIGNED(mock_auto_region_size, PMD_SIZE) check in
cxl_test_init().
v2->v3:
- Correct hunk headers
- Add base commit SHA
v1->v2:
- Reframe from "fix start alignment" to "enforce PMD invariant for
volatile CFMWS"
- Bump cfmws5.window_size to max(SZ_256M, PMD_SIZE)
- Gate populate_cedt() alignment on
ACPI_CEDT_CFMWS_RESTRICT_VOLATILE so PMEM windows stay at SZ_256M
- Add BUILD_BUG_ON for MOCK_AUTO_REGION_SIZE_DEFAULT v.s. PMD_SIZE
in cxl_test_init()
Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
