[PATCH v3 2/5] dax/hmem: Request cxl_acpi and cxl_pci before walking Soft Reserved ranges
Posted by Smita Koralahalli 1 day, 20 hours ago
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Ensure that cxl_acpi has published CXL Window resources before dax_hmem
walks Soft Reserved ranges.

Replace MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: cxl_acpi") with an explicit, synchronous
request_module("cxl_acpi"). MODULE_SOFTDEP() only guarantees eventual
loading, it does not enforce that the dependency has finished init
before the current module runs. This can cause dax_hmem to start before
cxl_acpi has populated the resource tree, breaking detection of overlaps
between Soft Reserved and CXL Windows.

Also, request cxl_pci before dax_hmem walks Soft Reserved ranges. Unlike
cxl_acpi, cxl_pci attach is asynchronous and creates dependent devices
that trigger further module loads. Asynchronous probe flushing
(wait_for_device_probe()) is added later in the series in a deferred
context before dax_hmem makes ownership decisions for Soft Reserved
ranges.

Add an additional explicit Kconfig ordering so that CXL_ACPI and CXL_PCI
must be initialized before DEV_DAX_HMEM. This prevents dax_hmem from
consuming Soft Reserved ranges before CXL drivers have had a chance to
claim them.
