[PATCH v3 2/2] cxl/edac: Mask DPA flags in the event record cache key

From: Jongwon Lee

Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 21:34:44 EST


The low bits of the DPA in a General Media or DRAM event record are
flags: bit 0 is VOLATILE and bit 1 is NOT_REPAIRABLE. The trace events
report the DPA with CXL_DPA_MASK applied, but cxl_store_rec_gen_media()
and cxl_store_rec_dram() use the raw value as the xarray key.

User space reads the DPA from the trace event and writes it to the
mem_repair dpa attribute. If the record had any flag set, xa_load()
misses it and the repair fails with -EINVAL. The raw key also lets a
repair go through for a record the device marked NOT_REPAIRABLE, if the
DPA is written with bit 1 set.

Key the records by the masked DPA and skip records marked
NOT_REPAIRABLE. cxl_find_rec_gen_media() now reads the record, so do
the lookup under the xarray lock as cxl_find_rec_dram() does, and
return a bool since its only caller tests the result.
