Subject: [ndctl PATCH] test/cxl-poison.sh: test scanning past fully mapped partitions
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 21:42:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701044205.1589967-1-alison.schofield@intel.com> (raw)
Listing poison by memdev scans the unmapped tail of every partition.
When an earlier partition is fully mapped, its tail is zero length, but
the scan must continue to later partitions. A regression caused the
scan to stop at the first fully-mapped partition, leaving later
partitions unscanned.
Backstop that behavior with a test case that fully maps a memdev's RAM
partition so its unmapped tail is zero length, then injects poison into
the unmapped PMEM partition that follows. The PMEM poison is only
reported if the scan continues past the fully-mapped RAM partition.
