[PATCH v4 15/27] vfio/pci: Call CXL open and close hooks around device use

From: mhonap

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 05:48:09 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 bind-time values stale.

Add open_device and close_device to the CXL ops and call them from the
common enable and close paths. A failed open unwinds the enable like any
other error. The callbacks are stubs here and are filled in next.
