[PATCH v16 00/18] PCI/CXL: Add CXL reset support for Type 2 devices
From: Srirangan Madhavan

Hi folks,
This series adds CXL Reset for Type 2 devices through the existing PCI
reset_method and reset sysfs attributes. It disables CXL.cache, performs
supported cache writeback, initiates CXL Reset with Memory Clear, and
restores cached HDM decoder and CXL Device DVSEC state before PCI use
resumes. Active HDM ranges are reserved and CPU caches invalidated before
and after reset. The method remains limited to eligible single-function
devices with both CXL.cache and CXL.mem enabled.
The reset sequence follows the CXL 4.0 specification [3], including
CXL.cache disable, optional cache writeback, CXL Reset Memory Clear,
ResetComplete polling, and ResetError reporting. Sections 9.7.2 and 9.7.3
define the completion timeout encodings and reset access restrictions.
The userspace ABI is the existing PCI reset interface:
/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../reset_method
/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../reset
Userspace selects "cxl_reset" in reset_method and triggers the reset
through reset. Following Dan's v6 feedback, this uses the PCI interface
instead of adding a memdev-specific sysfs ABI.
For sysfs reset, the generic PCI path invokes the driver's reset_prepare()
callback when provided and disables PCI I/O, memory decoding, and bus
mastering. The CXL path reserves affected HDM ranges exclusively and
blocks IOMMU translations where applicable. It does not offline memory
or revoke mappings; it relies on CXL.mem users retaining conflicting
iomem resources while access remains active.
Changes from v15 [1]:
- Split register discovery and cxl_rwsem preparation out of the HDM cache
patch. Share decoder register reads, read register pairs low then high,
and keep cache access and locking in HDM state helpers.
- Dropped Dave Jiang's and Li Ming's Reviewed-by tags from the decoder
unpacking and cache refresh patches (v15 patches 7 and 8; v16 patches 7
and 9) because those changes need another review.
- Clarify the 16-way decoder interleave limit and incorporate the review
comments on decoder helpers and cache refresh.
- Keep a successfully read HDM snapshot if restoring PCI_COMMAND fails,
while reporting the failure.
- Clarify cache writeback timeout handling and report the effective reset
timeout. Keep all-ones config-read checks.
- Split cache preparation and state restoration into reusable helpers,
and simplify range error reporting.
- Allow the test-only region invalidation bypass for CXL reset.
- Explain the scope and duration of the global region lock.
- Reject virtual functions for CXL reset and CXL bus reset.
- Consolidate decoder commit polling, set Lock On Commit before commit,
and report HDM restore failures at the PCI restore path.
- Move the saved-PCI-state check into the CXL reset preparation helper.
- Move the standalone HDM decoder checks from cxl_test to KUnit. The test
layout follows Alison's proposed CXL KUnit series [4]; if it lands first,
these tests can be rebased onto that infrastructure.
HDM caching now requires CXL.cache, CXL.mem, CXL Reset and Reset Memory
Clear capabilities. CXL bus reset state restoration uses that cache.
CXL Reset requires a registered CPU cache clean/invalidate provider
and matching firmware, such as the separate SMCCC provider series [2].
Without that provider, cxl_reset can be advertised while execution returns
-ENOTTY, unless the test-only CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST bypass is enabled.
The KUnit suite checks HDM range boundaries, zero-size and uncommitted
state, lock and target-type decoding, and 12-way interleave. The unit test
suite passed on an earlier ARM64 test kernel.
Type 2 device reset cycles are also successful with this. The reset test
kernel also included the separate CXL bus cache maintenance patch.
