[PATCH v5 12/27] vfio/pci: Call the CXL open and close hooks around device use

From: mhonap

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 15:15:45 EST


From: Manish Honap <mhonap@xxxxxxxxxx>

Volatile CXL register state must be sampled from live hardware when the
guest opens the device, not at bind, because a low-power transition
between bind and open can leave the bind-time values stale.

Add open and close to the CXL ops and call them from the common enable
and close paths. A failed open unwinds the enable in reverse order:
unmap the BARs, drop the excluded ranges, then free the virtual config.

Factor the BAR unmap out of vfio_pci_core_disable() into a helper so the
enable failure path and the disable path share it.
