    cxl/region: Attach endpoint decoders · 384e624b
    Dan Williams authored
    CXL regions (interleave sets) are made up of a set of memory devices
    where each device maps a portion of the interleave with one of its
    decoders (see CXL 2.0 8.2.5.12 CXL HDM Decoder Capability Structure).
    As endpoint decoders are identified by a provisioning tool they can be
    added to a region provided the region interleave properties are set
    (way, granularity, HPA) and DPA has been assigned to the decoder.
    
    The attach event triggers several validation checks, for example:
    - is the DPA sized appropriately for the region
    - is the decoder reachable via the host-bridges identified by the
      region's root decoder
    - is the device already active in a different region position slot
    - are there already regions with a higher HPA active on a given port
      (per CXL 2.0 8.2.5.12.20 Committing Decoder Programming)
    
    ...and the attach event affords an opportunity to collect data and
    resources relevant to later programming the target lists in switch
    decoders, for example:
    - allocate a decoder at each cxl_port in the decode chain
    - for a given switch port, how many the region's endpoints are hosted
      through the port
    - how many unique targets (next hops) does a port need to map to reach
      those endpoints
    
    The act of reconciling this information and deploying it to the decoder
    configuration is saved for a follow-on patch.
