Subject: [PATCH 2/6] cxl/mem: Arrange for always-synchronous memdev attach
Date: Wed,  3 Dec 2025 18:21:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251204022136.2573521-3-dan.j.williams@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251204022136.2573521-1-dan.j.williams@intel.com>

In preparation for CXL accelerator drivers that have a hard dependency on
CXL capability initialization, arrange for cxl_mem_probe() to always run
synchronous with the device_add() of cxl_memdev instances. I.e.
cxl_mem_driver registration is always complete before the first memdev
creation event.

At present, cxl_pci does not care about the attach state of the cxl_memdev
because all generic memory expansion functionality can be handled by the
cxl_core. For accelerators, however, that driver needs to perform driver
specific initialization if CXL is available, or execute a fallback to PCIe
only operation.

This synchronous attach guarantee is also needed for Soft Reserve Recovery,
which is an effort that needs to assert that devices have had a chance to
attach before making a go / no-go decision on proceeding with CXL subsystem
initialization.

By moving devm_cxl_add_memdev() to cxl_mem.ko it removes async module
loading as one reason that a memdev may not be attached upon return from
devm_cxl_add_memdev().
