Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] hw/riscv/virt: Advertise the CXL host bridge to firmware via extra-pci-roots
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 23:13:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828151317.815-4-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828151317.815-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>
The pxb-cxl expander bridge presents as a class 0x0600 host bridge with
a type-0 header, so EDK2's PciBusDxe never recurses into it and never
assigns the CXL root port a memory window or bus numbers. As a result
build_crs() produces an empty _CRS for the ACPI0016 host bridge and the
CXL devices behind it are not enumerated by the OS.
Advertise the pxb-cxl expander root buses to firmware via the
etc/extra-pci-roots fw_cfg file, the same way arm/virt and x86 do, by
calling pci_bus_add_fw_cfg_extra_pci_roots() from virt_machine_done().
EDK2's PciBusDxe then enumerates behind the CXL host bridge and assigns
the root-port window and bus numbers. The ACPI tables are rebuilt when
the guest reads them (after that firmware enumeration), so build_crs()
then emits a correct _CRS for the ACPI0016 host bridge.
This approach also scales to multiple pxb-cxl host bridges (each gets
its own window from the shared aperture) and lets firmware size the
window to what is actually behind the bridge, rather than reserving a
fixed carve-out.
Verified by booting an RVA22 guest: the CXL root port and Type3 device
enumerate, and 'cxl enable-memdev' / 'cxl create-region' /
'daxctl online-memory' bring the CXL memory online as system RAM.

v4:
- Replaces the v3 QEMU-side firmware simulation with
pci_bus_add_fw_cfg_extra_pci_roots(), advertising the pxb-cxl
expander root buses to firmware via etc/extra-pci-roots. EDK2 then
enumerates behind the CXL host bridge and assigns the root-port
window and bus numbers, and build_crs() emits a correct _CRS. This
scales to multiple pxb-cxl and lets firmware size the window.
