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

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

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.

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.

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 ==

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

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.

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:
		(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.
