[PATCH v8 00/10] PCI/CXL: Add CXL reset support for Type 2 devices

From: Srirangan Madhavan

Hi folks!

This series adds CXL Reset support for CXL Type 2 devices through the
existing PCI reset_method ABI. The reset sequence follows the CXL 4.0
specification [1], including CXL.cache disable, optional cache
writeback, CXL Reset initiation, ResetComplete polling, and ResetError
reporting.

The userspace ABI is the existing PCI reset interface:

/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../reset_method
/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../reset

Userspace can select "cxl_reset" in reset_method and then trigger reset
through the existing reset attribute.

Following Dan's v6 feedback, this replaces the proposed memdev sysfs ABI
with the existing PCI reset_method interface.

v8 changes from v7 [2]:
- Drop the PCI helper export patch.
- Drop the multi-function sibling coordination patch. cxl_reset is only
exposed as a function-scoped reset method when the CXL reset scope is
limited to the target function.
- Keep the reset-scope discovery needed to reject non-function-scoped
CXL resets.
- Cache HDM location as BAR-relative metadata instead of keeping an
enum-time MMIO mapping.
- Restore HDM through a temporary mapping based on the current BAR
assignment after PCI config state is restored.
- Cache raw HDM decoder register state so uncommitted decoders can be
restored as uncommitted, while committed decoders are recommitted
through the normal HDM commit flow.
- Share HDM decoder decode and validation between normal CXL core
enumeration and early PCI HDM caching.
- Put cxl_reset ahead of FLR in reset_method priority because FLR does
not reset CXL.cache or CXL.mem protocol state.

Motivation:
-----------
- Type 2 devices need a CXL-specific reset mechanism beyond existing PCI
reset methods.

- FLR does not reset CXL.cache or CXL.mem protocol state. CXL Reset is
the architectural reset mechanism for those protocols.

- The PCI reset_method ABI lets userspace select this narrower CXL reset
before falling back to broader bus reset methods.

Change Description:
-------------------

Patch 1: cxl/hdm: Split decoder programming into a reusable helper
- Move shared decoder settings to include/cxl/cxl.h.
- Factor low-level HDM register programming into cxl_commit().

Patch 2: cxl/hdm: Cache decoder settings on PCI devices
- Cache CXL core HDM decoder settings in pci_dev->hdm.
- Refresh the cache as decoders are enumerated, committed, or reset.

Patch 3: cxl/hdm: Share HDM decoder decode logic
- Share HDM decoder decode and validation between normal CXL core
enumeration and early PCI HDM cache setup.

Patch 4: cxl/hdm: Cache endpoint decoder settings during PCI enumeration
- Snapshot endpoint HDM state during PCI capability initialization.
- Cache the HDM register locator as BAR-relative metadata.
- Cache raw decoder register state in addition to committed decoder
settings.

Patch 5: PCI/CXL: Add CXL Device Reset helper
- Add the internal DVSEC reset sequence.
- Disable CXL.cache, perform cache writeback where supported, initiate
CXL Reset, and wait for completion.

Patch 6: PCI/CXL: Validate HDM ranges before CXL reset
- Collect enabled cached HDM ranges.
- Reject reset if affected ranges are busy.
- Invalidate CPU caches when runtime cache-invalidation support is
available, otherwise continue after warning.

Patch 7: PCI/CXL: Discover the CXL reset scope
- Discover whether CXL Reset is function-scoped using the Non-CXL
Function Map and CXL cache/mem capability bits.

Patch 8: cxl/pci: Restore CXL HDM state after PCI reset
- Restore cached global and per-decoder HDM state after reset.
- Re-map HDM registers from the current BAR assignment during restore.
- Replay raw decoder state for uncommitted decoders and recommit
decoders that were committed before reset.

Patch 9: PCI/CXL: Expose CXL Reset as a PCI reset method
- Add "cxl_reset" to the PCI reset_method table for Type 2 reset-capable
CXL devices.
- Prioritize cxl_reset ahead of FLR.

Patch 10: Documentation/ABI: Document CXL Reset PCI reset method
- Document the new reset_method value and reset behavior.

The CPU cache invalidation step depends on
cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() support for the affected address ranges.
If no runtime provider is available, the kernel emits a warning and
continues after the affected HDM ranges have been reserved.

Example:

echo cxl_reset > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:bb:dd.f/reset_method
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:bb:dd.f/reset

Testing:
- Ran 100 iterations of cxl_reset through the PCI reset sysfs ABI on a
CXL Type 2 device. All iterations completed successfully and
ResetComplete was observed.
- Exercised cxl_bus reset separately with an add-on HDM restore patch.
