Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:07:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <165765284365.435671.13173937566404931163.stgit@dwillia2-xfh> (raw)

On the way towards a "cxl create-region" command add support for a unit
test of the raw sysfs interfaces used for region provisioning. This
includes support for listing endpoint decoders filtered by their
associated memdev, listing decoders in id order by default, and managing
DPA allocations. Those capabilities plus some other miscellaneous
cleanups are validated in a new 'cxl-create-region.sh' test.

All of the sysfs ABI leveraged in these updates is provided by this
pending series of updates:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/165603869943.551046.3498980330327696732.stgit@dwillia2-xfh/

To date that review has not identified any ABI changes so there is a
reasonable chance that this cxl-cli series will not need to be respun to
address a kernel-side change. That said, the kernel changes need to
complete review and enter linux-next before these proposed patches can
be committed to the ndctl project. In the meantime that kernel review
can be helped along by having test/cxl-region-create.sh as an example of
how the ABI is used.
