[PATCH v2] cxl/region: Fix bad logic for finding a free switch cxl decoder

From: Zijun Hu
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 09:03:15 EST


From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

It is bad for current match_free_decoder()'s logic to find a free switch
cxl decoder as explained below:

- If all child decoders are sorted by ID in ascending order, then
current logic can be simplified as below one:

static int match_free_decoder(struct device *dev, void *data)
{
struct cxl_decoder *cxld;

if (!is_switch_decoder(dev))
return 0;

cxld = to_cxl_decoder(dev);
return cxld->region ? 0 : 1;
}
dev = device_find_child(&port->dev, NULL, match_free_decoder);

which does not also need to modify device_find_child()'s match data.

- If all child decoders are NOT sorted by ID in ascending order, then
current logic are wrong as explained below:

F: free, (cxld->region == NULL) B: busy, (cxld->region != NULL)
S(n)F : State of switch cxl_decoder with ID n is Free
S(n)B : State of switch cxl_decoder with ID n is Busy

Provided there are 2 child decoders: S(1)F -> S(0)B, then current logic
will fail to find a free decoder even if there are a free one with ID 1

Anyway, current logic is not good, fixed by finding a free switch cxl
decoder with minimal ID.
