[PATCH v10 04/31] cxl/core: Enforce partition order/simplify partition calls

From: Anisa Su

Date: Sat May 23 2026 - 05:45:42 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Device partitions have an implied order which is made more complex by
the addition of a dynamic partition.

Remove the ram special case information calls in favor of generic calls
with a check ahead of time to ensure the preservation of the implied
partition order.

Changes::
[anisa: rebase]
[davidlohr: core/hdm.c: return -EINVAL instead of 0 in cxl_dpa_setup
if partitions are out of order]
