Subject: [PATCH v4 2/6] hw/riscv/virt-acpi-build: Add _DEP to ACPI0017 for CXL host bridge dependency
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 23:13:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828151317.815-3-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828151317.815-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>
On RISC-V QEMU virt platform with CXL enabled, the probe ordering
of acpi_pci_root (ACPI0016) and cxl_acpi (ACPI0017) is not
guaranteed. If cxl_acpi probes before acpi_pci_root has attached
the CXL host bridges, the CXL port topology will be incomplete
because to_cxl_host_bridge() silently skips devices whose PCI root
is not yet ready.
Add a _DEP object to the ACPI0017 device in the DSDT, declaring
its dependency on the ACPI0016 CXL host bridge devices. This tells
the OS to defer ACPI0017 enumeration until all ACPI0016 devices
have been attached by acpi_pci_root.
This pairs with kernel commit 3a59c3b772e5 ("ACPI: PCI: Clear _DEP
dependencies after PCI root bridge attach"), which calls
acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() in acpi_pci_root_add().
Note on kernel compatibility: this is a "new QEMU feature requires a
sufficiently new kernel" situation. Kernels that process _DEP but
lack the acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() call will leave the CXLM device
deferred, so CXL memory is unusable there; kernels old enough to ignore
_DEP entirely behave exactly as before this change. In neither case is
existing (non-CXL) PCIe affected.
The resulting DSDT fragment (iasl -d output) for a single CXL host
bridge at bus 0x0C looks like:
Device (CXLM)
{
Name (_HID, "ACPI0017")
Name (_DEP, Package (0x01)
{
\_SB.PC0C
})
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (0x0B)
}
...
}
