cxl: Allocate and release the SPA with the AFU
Previously the SPA was allocated and freed upon entering and leaving AFU-directed mode. This causes some issues for error recovery - contexts hold a pointer inside the SPA, and they may persist after the AFU has been detached. We would ideally like to allocate the SPA when the AFU is allocated, and release it until the AFU is released. However, we don't know how big the SPA needs to be until we read the AFU descriptor. Therefore, restructure the code: - Allocate the SPA only once, on the first attach. - Release the SPA only when the entire AFU is being released (not detached). Guard the release with a NULL check, so we don't free if it was never allocated (e.g. dedicated mode) Acked-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
