[RFC PATCH] cxl/region: Calculate peer distance only for reused targets
From: Richard Cheng
Date: Thu Oct 15 2026 - 05:44:14 EST
This patch depends on Alison Schofield's v3 "cxl/region: Refactor
cxl_port_setup_targets()" series [1], this is inspired from that serie
as well, since her serie contains no functional change, I pull this one
out as a standalone patch.
cxl_switch_port_setup_targets() calculates peer distance before
searching the existing targets. When the endpoint needs a new target,
the calculated distance is never used.
Move cxl_port_peer_distance() into the matching-target branch,
immediately before check_last_peer(). This avoids unnecessary ancestor
walks and per-port region lookups when adding distinct targets.

I don't have available HW for multi-way interleaving setup, so I can't
exercise the case optimized here. I would appreciate if someone is
williing to validate the actual benefit of this.
Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
