Contact:        linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(WO) Write a boolean 'true' string value to this attribute to
		sanitize the device to securely re-purpose or decommission it.
		This is done by ensuring that all user data and meta-data,
		whether it resides in persistent capacity, volatile capacity,
		or the LSA, is made permanently unavailable by whatever means
		is appropriate for the media type. This functionality requires
		the device to be disabled, that is, not actively decoding any
		HPA ranges. This permits avoiding explicit global CPU cache
		management, relying instead for it to be done when a region
		transitions between software programmed and hardware committed
		states. If this file is not present, then there is no hardware
		support for the operation.

What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/{port,endpoint}X/parent_dport
Date:		January, 2023
KernelVersion:	v6.3
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) CXL port objects are instantiated for each upstream port in
		a CXL/PCIe switch, and for each endpoint to map the
		corresponding memory device into the CXL port hierarchy. When a
		descendant CXL port (switch or endpoint) is enumerated it is
		useful to know which 'dport' object in the parent CXL port
		routes to this descendant. The 'parent_dport' symlink points to
		the device representing the downstream port of a CXL switch that
		routes to {port,endpoint}X.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/portX/dportY

KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) CXL port objects are enumerated from either a platform
		firmware device (ACPI0017 and ACPI0016) or PCIe switch upstream
		port with CXL component registers. The 'dportY' symlink
		identifies one or more downstream ports that the upstream port
		may target in its decode of CXL memory resources.  The 'Y'

What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/portX/decoders_committed
Date:		October, 2023
KernelVersion:	v6.7
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) A memory device is considered active when any of its
		decoders are in the "committed" state (See CXL 3.0 8.2.4.19.7
		CXL HDM Decoder n Control Register). Hotplug and destructive
		operations like "sanitize" are blocked while device is actively
		decoding a Host Physical Address range. Note that this number
		may be elevated without any regionX objects active or even
		enumerated, as this may be due to decoders established by
		platform firwmare or a previous kernel (kexec).


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y
Date:		June, 2021
KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) CXL decoder objects are enumerated from either a platform
		firmware description, or a CXL HDM decoder register set in a
		PCIe device (see CXL 2.0 section 8.2.5.12 CXL HDM Decoder
		Capability Structure). The 'X' in decoderX.Y represents the
		cxl_port container of this decoder, and 'Y' represents the
		instance id of a given decoder resource.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/{start,size}
Date:		June, 2021
KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) The 'start' and 'size' attributes together convey the
		physical address base and number of bytes mapped in the
		decoder's decode window. For decoders of devtype
		"cxl_decoder_root" the address range is fixed. For decoders of
		devtype "cxl_decoder_switch" the address is bounded by the
		decode range of the cxl_port ancestor of the decoder's cxl_port,
		and dynamically updates based on the active memory regions in
		that address space.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/locked
Date:		June, 2021
KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) CXL HDM decoders have the capability to lock the
		configuration until the next device reset. For decoders of
		devtype "cxl_decoder_root" there is no standard facility to
		unlock them.  For decoders of devtype "cxl_decoder_switch" a
		secondary bus reset, of the PCIe bridge that provides the bus
		for this decoders uport, unlocks / resets the decoder.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/target_list
Date:		June, 2021
KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) Display a comma separated list of the current decoder
		target configuration. The list is ordered by the current

What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/cap_{pmem,ram,type2,type3}
Date:		June, 2021
KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) When a CXL decoder is of devtype "cxl_decoder_root", it
		represents a fixed memory window identified by platform
		firmware. A fixed window may only support a subset of memory
		types. The 'cap_*' attributes indicate whether persistent
		memory, volatile memory, accelerator memory, and / or expander
		memory may be mapped behind this decoder's memory window.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/target_type
Date:		June, 2021
KernelVersion:	v5.14
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) When a CXL decoder is of devtype "cxl_decoder_switch", it
		can optionally decode either accelerator memory (type-2) or
		expander memory (type-3). The 'target_type' attribute indicates
		the current setting which may dynamically change based on what
		memory regions are activated in this decode hierarchy.

Date:		July, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) If this sysfs entry is not present no DOE mailbox was
		found to support CDAT data.  If it is present and the length of
		the data is 0 reading the CDAT data failed.  Otherwise the CDAT
		data is reported.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/mode
Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RW) When a CXL decoder is of devtype "cxl_decoder_endpoint" it
		translates from a host physical address range, to a device local
		address range. Device-local address ranges are further split
		into a 'ram' (volatile memory) range and 'pmem' (persistent
		memory) range. The 'mode' attribute emits one of 'ram', 'pmem',
		'mixed', or 'none'. The 'mixed' indication is for error cases
		when a decoder straddles the volatile/persistent partition
		boundary, and 'none' indicates the decoder is not actively
		decoding, or no DPA allocation policy has been set.

		'mode' can be written, when the decoder is in the 'disabled'
		state, with either 'ram' or 'pmem' to set the boundaries for the
		next allocation.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/dpa_resource
Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) When a CXL decoder is of devtype "cxl_decoder_endpoint",
		and its 'dpa_size' attribute is non-zero, this attribute
		indicates the device physical address (DPA) base address of the
		allocation.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/dpa_size
Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RW) When a CXL decoder is of devtype "cxl_decoder_endpoint" it
		translates from a host physical address range, to a device local
		address range. The range, base address plus length in bytes, of
		DPA allocated to this decoder is conveyed in these 2 attributes.
		Allocations can be mutated as long as the decoder is in the
		disabled state. A write to 'dpa_size' releases the previous DPA
		allocation and then attempts to allocate from the free capacity
		in the device partition referred to by 'decoderX.Y/mode'.
		Allocate and free requests can only be performed on the highest
		instance number disabled decoder with non-zero size. I.e.
		allocations are enforced to occur in increasing 'decoderX.Y/id'
		order and frees are enforced to occur in decreasing
		'decoderX.Y/id' order.

Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) The number of targets across which this decoder's host
		physical address (HPA) memory range is interleaved. The device
		maps every Nth block of HPA (of size ==
		'interleave_granularity') to consecutive DPA addresses. The
		decoder's position in the interleave is determined by the
		device's (endpoint or switch) switch ancestry. For root
		decoders their interleave is specified by platform firmware and
		they only specify a downstream target order for host bridges.

KernelVersion:	v6.0 (pmem), v6.3 (ram)
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RW) Write a string in the form 'regionZ' to start the process
		of defining a new persistent, or volatile memory region
		(interleave-set) within the decode range bounded by root decoder
		'decoderX.Y'. The value written must match the current value
		returned from reading this attribute. An atomic compare exchange
		operation is done on write to assign the requested id to a

What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoderX.Y/qos_class
Date:		May, 2023
KernelVersion:	v6.5
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RO) For CXL host platforms that support "QoS Telemmetry" this
		root-decoder-only attribute conveys a platform specific cookie
		that identifies a QoS performance class for the CXL Window.
		This class-id can be compared against a similar "qos_class"
		published for each memory-type that an endpoint supports. While
		it is not required that endpoints map their local memory-class
		to a matching platform class, mismatches are not recommended and
		there are platform specific side-effects that may result.

What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/size
Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RW) System physical address space to be consumed by the region.
		When written trigger the driver to allocate space out of the
		parent root decoder's address space. When read the size of the
		address space is reported and should match the span of the
		region's resource attribute. Size shall be set after the
		interleave configuration parameters. Once set it cannot be
		changed, only freed by writing 0. The kernel makes no guarantees
		that data is maintained over an address space freeing event, and
		there is no guarantee that a free followed by an allocate
		results in the same address being allocated.

Description:
		(RO) A region is a contiguous partition of a CXL root decoder
		address space. Region capacity is allocated by writing to the
		size attribute, the resulting physical address space determined
		by the driver is reflected here. It is therefore not useful to
		read this before writing a value to the size attribute.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/target[0..N]
Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RW) Write an endpoint decoder object name to 'targetX' where X
		is the intended position of the endpoint device in the region
		interleave and N is the 'interleave_ways' setting for the
		region. ENXIO is returned if the write results in an impossible
		to map decode scenario, like the endpoint is unreachable at that
		position relative to the root decoder interleave. EBUSY is
		returned if the position in the region is already occupied, or
		if the region is not in a state to accept interleave
		configuration changes. EINVAL is returned if the object name is
		not an endpoint decoder. Once all positions have been
		successfully written a final validation for decode conflicts is
		performed before activating the region.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/regionZ/commit
Date:		May, 2022
KernelVersion:	v6.0
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(RW) Write a boolean 'true' string value to this attribute to
		trigger the region to transition from the software programmed
		state to the actively decoding in hardware state. The commit
		operation in addition to validating that the region is in proper
		configured state, validates that the decoders are being
		committed in spec mandated order (last committed decoder id +
		1), and checks that the hardware accepts the commit request.
		Reading this value indicates whether the region is committed or
		not.


What:		/sys/bus/cxl/devices/memX/trigger_poison_list
Date:		April, 2023
KernelVersion:	v6.4
Contact:	linux-cxl@vger.kernel.org
Description:
		(WO) When a boolean 'true' is written to this attribute the
		memdev driver retrieves the poison list from the device. The
		list consists of addresses that are poisoned, or would result
		in poison if accessed, and the source of the poison. This
		attribute is only visible for devices supporting the
		capability. The retrieved errors are logged as kernel
		events when cxl_poison event tracing is enabled.
