[PATCH v5 22/27] vfio/cxl: Clear the HDM access gate after a hot reset
From: mhonap
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 14:52:20 EST
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@xxxxxxxxxx>
The HDM memory fault inserts a PFN only when the decoder is in a
known-good state (cxl->hdm_valid), so the host CPU never faults the
coherent range into a disabled decoder.
VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET drives a plain secondary bus reset rather than
the CXL reset sequence, so nothing restores the decoder in the
reset_done handler. A secondary bus reset only reaches a CXL endpoint
when the upstream port has SBR unmasked (CXL r3.1 sec 8.1.5.2); in that
case the reset decommits the decoder, so clear cxl->hdm_valid to keep a
later fault from inserting a PFN into a dead decoder.
A subsequent VFIO_DEVICE_RESET runs the CXL reset sequence and restores
it, and a masked SBR is a no-op that leaves the decoder intact.
vfio_cxl_sbr_unmasked() mirrors the cxl_sbr_masked() check the PCI core
uses (drivers/pci/pci.c) for its own CXL bus reset.
