Subject: [PATCH 0/9] dax/hmem: Add tests for the dax_hmem takeover capability
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:28:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327052821.440749-1-dan.j.williams@intel.com> (raw)
Given all the cross subsystem dependencies needed to make this solution
work, it needs to have a unit test to keep it functional.
On the path to writing that, several fixes fell out, but not to Smita's
code, to mine. One use-after-free has been there since the original
automatic region assembly code.
Here is a preview of the core of the test I will submit to the cxl-cli project:
---
modprobe cxl_mock_mem && modprobe cxl_test hmem_test=1
dax=$(find_dax_cxl)
[[ "$dax" == "" ]] && err $LINENO
dax=$(find_dax_hmem)
[[ "$dax" != "" ]] && err $LINENO
unload
modprobe cxl_mock_mem && modprobe cxl_test fail_autoassemble hmem_test=1
dax=$(find_dax_cxl)
[[ "$dax" != "" ]] && err $LINENO
dax=$(find_dax_hmem)
[[ "$dax" == "" ]] && err $LINENO
unload
---
This builds on Smita's series [1] pushed out to for-7.1/dax-hmem in
cxl.git [2].
