Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl/region: Add cxl_decoder_is_passthrough() helper
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 14:59:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805065935.27837-1-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)

commit_decoder() open-codes the passthrough test.
A NULL ->commit() plus a switch decoder with at most one target. The
call site is hard to read, and it suggests a NULL ->commit() alone
identifies a passthrough decoder. It does not.
DVSEC-emulated endpoint decoders also leave ->commit() NULL, and root
decoders never set it. A future caller testing ->commit() alone would
silently include them.

Move the test into cxl_decoder_is_passthrough() and document what each
condition rules out. The helper runs the same tests in the same order,
no functional change.

Changelog:

v1 -> v2:
    - Dropped the passthrough F_ENABLE restore patch. The bug was
      already fixed.
    - What remains is only the clarify helper function patch, so the
      patch is retitled accordingly

v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20260727103743.63343-1-icheng@nvidia.com/

Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
