[PATCH v11 16/31] cxl/extent: Validate DC extent partition

From: Anisa Su

Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 07:31:09 EST


From: Ira Weiny <iweiny@xxxxxxxxxx>

Extend cxl_validate_extent() — the per-extent check of the add pipeline
to check partition membership.

Resolves an extent's DPA to its containing DC partition. Sharability is
a property of the partition (part->shareable), taken from its CDAT DSMAS
entry.

An extent from a sharable partition must carry a non-null tag, since hosts
sharing the allocation key on that tag. A null tag there is a device
firmware bug; reject the extent.

shared_extn_seq validation is checked in cxl_check_group_seq() once the
whole tag group is collected.

Based on patches by John Groves.

Changes:
1. cxl_extent_dc_partition() declared static — it is only called
from extent.c at this point. A subsequent commit ("cxl/mem: Enforce
tag-group semantics") drops static and adds the declaration to core.h
when mbox.c starts calling it.
2. In cxl_validate_extent(), declare the local uuid as a struct
(uuid_t uuid) and fill it via import_uuid(&uuid, extent->uuid) instead
of casting (uuid_t *)extent->uuid.
