[PATCH v11 05/31] cxl/mem: Expose dynamic ram 1 partition in sysfs

From: Anisa Su

Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 07:30:56 EST


From: Ira Weiny <iweiny@xxxxxxxxxx>

To properly configure CXL regions user space will need to know the
details of the dynamic ram partition.

Expose the first dynamic ram partition through sysfs.

+ (RO) For CXL host platforms that support "QoS Telemmetry"
+ this attribute conveys a comma delimited list of platform
+ specific cookies that identifies a QoS performance class
+ for the partition of the CXL mem device. These
+ class-ids can be compared against a similar "qos_class"
+ published for a root decoder. While it is not required
+ that the endpoints map their local memory-class to a
+ matching platform class, mismatches are not recommended
+ and there are platform specific performance related
+ side-effects that may result. First class-id is displayed.
