[PATCH v4] cxl/core: Create einj_types when EINJ becomes available
From: Yongxin Yang
Date: Thu Oct 29 2026 - 23:21:42 EST
From: Yang Yongxin <yangyongxin@xxxxxxxxxx>
The einj_types file under the CXL debugfs directory is never created when
cxl_core is built in.
cxl_core_init() runs at subsys_initcall level, while EINJ registers itself
from einj_init() at device_initcall level. With cxl_core built in, the
einj_cxl_is_initialized() check in cxl_core_init() therefore always sees
false and the debugfs_create_file("einj_types") call below it is never
reached, so users have no way to discover which CXL error types the
platform supports from debugfs. When cxl_core is a module, module
dependencies make sure it is loaded after EINJ is up, and the file is
created.
Create the file from every point that can tell EINJ is up. cxl_core_init()
covers cxl_core being a module loaded after EINJ has been initialized. The
cxl_acpi_probe() hook covers cxl_core being built in while cxl_acpi is a
module, and is the only hook that can work on RCH/RCD hierarchies, where
the single dport is added by the ACPI probe itself, too early to help. The
dport probe path covers the built-in virtual host case, where the dport
added from the memdev probe is the only hook reached after einj_init().
The dport probe path can run concurrently for different parent ports, each
holding only its own device lock, so serialize the check and the create to
avoid a duplicate debugfs_create_file() attempt that would only fail with
-EEXIST. Reset the cached dentry in cxl_core_exit() so that reloading
cxl_core starts from a clean state.

Changes in v4:
- Scope the problem statement to the built-in case: the file is only never
created when cxl_core is built in, the module dependencies take care of the
ordering otherwise.
- Replace the "no dport is ever added" rationale with the RCH/RCD case, in
the changelog and in the cxl_acpi_probe() comment: a system without any
dport cannot do error injection at all, so the file is useless there. On
RCH/RCD hierarchies the only dport comes from the ACPI probe, so this hook
is the one that matters.
