Hi Ira,

I guess you missed my comments for V3, I comment it again for this patch.

could use __free(put_device) to drop this 'put_device(extent_device)'

Same as above.

It should be 'response->flags |= CXL_DCD_EVENT_MORE' here.

Another issue is if 'cnt' is N times bigger than 'max_extents'(e,g. cnt=20, max_extents=10). all responses will be sent in this xa_for_each(), and CXL_DCD_EVENT_MORE will be set in the last response but it should not be set in these cases.
