[PATCH v4 04/27] cxl: Establish media readiness in cxl_mem_probe()
From: mhonap
Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 05:44:48 EST
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@xxxxxxxxxx>
media_ready was only ever set by cxl_pci, in advance of registering a
memdev and with CXL Memory Device register assumptions. A consumer that
creates a memdev without cxl_pci, such as a mailbox-less Type-2
accelerator brought up through devm_cxl_probe_mem(), therefore handed
cxl_mem a device with media_ready still false, and cxl_mem_probe()
rejected it with -EBUSY. __devm_cxl_add_memdev() turns that into -ENXIO
back to the caller and the bind fails.
Move the readiness wait into cxl_mem_probe() so every memdev consumer
gets a ready resource regardless of how the memdev was created. When
media_ready is not already set, wait on the device's DVSEC
Mem_Info_Valid and Mem_Active bits and mark it ready. cxl_pci keeps
setting media_ready before it registers its memdev, so that path skips
the wait.
The CXL Memory Device register group is optional and many Type-2 devices
do not implement it, so cxl_await_media_ready() must not read the Memdev
Status register unless the group is mapped. Reading regs.memdev on a
device that lacks it would fault. Gate that read on regs.memdev; the
DVSEC bits already prove readiness for such devices.
