[PATCH v5 3/7] cxl: Add memory offlining and cache flush helpers

From: smadhavan

Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 04:26:31 EST


From: Srirangan Madhavan <smadhavan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add infrastructure for quiescing the CXL data path before reset:

- Memory offlining: check if CXL-backed memory is online and offline
it via offline_and_remove_memory() before reset, per CXL
spec requirement to quiesce all CXL.mem transactions before issuing
CXL Reset.
- CPU cache flush: invalidate cache lines before reset
as a safety measure after memory offline.
