Subject: [ndctl PATCH v2 0/3] cxl: support mixed-granularity regions
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 14:34:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1788469004.git.alison.schofield@intel.com> (raw)

This is an update to a series[1] that was previously sent out without a
cover letter. In v2 a fixup prerequisite patch is added and the tests
are expanded based on the kernel series review feedback [2].

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/fa5c109f08824180f58341ebd9055545a2ff3142.1780099216.git.alison.schofield@intel.com/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1787255388.git.alison.schofield@intel.com/

Changes in v2:
Patch 1: cxl/region: round default region size within root decoder extent
- New patch to fixup the ALIGN_DOWN usage that doesn't always work
Patch 2: cxl/region: allow mixed-granularity regions
- Reject a granularity that is not power of 2
- Update man page -g section
Patch 3: test/cxl-region-mixed.sh: test mixed-granularity region creation
- Cover the third pmem window, a 3-way at 1KB across 3 HBs
- Add two test cases, a 6-way and 12-way, for more spec defined coverage
- Select endpoints by walking hierarchy instead of handbuilding lists per case
- Assert 2 switches below each HB and 2 EP below each switch
- Require negative test cases to fail at first target write
- Skip rather than fail when kernel has no registry
- Drop selector walk language to align with kernel language

The base commit is the current ndctl pending branch.
