A cxl_decoder is a child of a cxl_port. It represents a hardware decoder configuration of an upstream port to one or more of its downstream ports. The decoder is either represented in CXL standard HDM decoder registers (see CXL 2.0 section 8.2.5.12 CXL HDM Decoder Capability Structure), or it is a static decode configuration communicated by platform firmware (see the CXL Early Discovery Table: Fixed Memory Window Structure). The firmware described and hardware described decoders differ slightly leading to 2 different sub-types of decoders, cxl_decoder_root and cxl_decoder_switch. At the root level the decode capabilities restrict what can be mapped beneath them. Mid-level switch decoders are configured for either acclerator (type-2) or memory-expander (type-3) operation, but they are otherwise agnostic to the type of memory (volatile vs persistent) being mapped. Here is an example topology from a single-ported host-bridge environment without CFMWS decodes enumerated. /sys/bus/cxl/devices/root0 ├── devtype ├── dport0 -> ../../../LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0016:00 ├── port1 │ ├── decoder1.0 │ │ ├── devtype │ │ ├── locked │ │ ├── size │ │ ├── start │ │ ├── subsystem -> ../../../../../../bus/cxl │ │ ├── target_list │ │ ├── target_type │ │ └── uevent │ ├── devtype │ ├── dport0 -> ../../../../pci0000:34/0000:34:00.0 │ ├── subsystem -> ../../../../../bus/cxl │ ├── uevent │ └── uport -> ../../../../LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0016:00 ├── subsystem -> ../../../../bus/cxl ├── uevent └── uport -> ../../ACPI0017:00 Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/162325695128.2293823.17519927266014762694.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.comSigned-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
