The CXL subsystem, at cxl_mem ->probe() time, establishes a lineage of
ports (struct cxl_port objects) between an endpoint and the root of a
CXL topology. Each port including the endpoint port is attached to the
cxl_port driver.
Given that setup, it follows that when either any port in that lineage
goes through a cxl_port ->remove() event, or the memdev goes through a
cxl_mem ->remove() event. The hierarchy below the removed port, or the
entire hierarchy if the memdev is removed needs to come down.
The delete_endpoint() callback is careful to check whether it is being
called to tear down the hierarchy, or if it is only being called to
teardown the memdev because an ancestor port is going through
->remove().
That care needs to take the device_lock() of the endpoint's parent.
Which requires 2 bugs to be fixed:
1/ A reference on the parent is needed to prevent use-after-free
scenarios like this signature:
BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, kworker/u56:0/11
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS edk2-20230524-3.fc38 05/24/2023
Workqueue: cxl_port detach_memdev [cxl_core]
RIP: 0010:spin_bug+0x65/0xa0
Call Trace:
do_raw_spin_lock+0x69/0xa0

2/ In the case of RCH topologies, the parent device that needs to be
locked is not always @port->dev as returned by cxl_mem_find_port(), use
endpoint->dev.parent instead.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
