At this point the subsystem can enumerate all CXL ports (CXL.mem decode resources in upstream switch ports and host bridges) in a system. The last mile is connecting those ports to endpoints. The cxl_mem driver connects an endpoint device to the platform CXL.mem protoctol decode-topology. At ->probe() time it walks its device-topology-ancestry and adds a CXL Port object at every Upstream Port hop until it gets to CXL root. The CXL root object is only present after a platform firmware driver registers platform CXL resources. For ACPI based platform this is managed by the ACPI0017 device and the cxl_acpi driver. The ports are registered such that disabling a given port automatically unregisters all descendant ports, and the chain can only be registered after the root is established. Given ACPI device scanning may run asynchronously compared to PCI device scanning the root driver is tasked with rescanning the bus after the root successfully probes. Conversely if any ports in a chain between the root and an endpoint becomes disconnected it subsequently triggers the endpoint to unregister. Given lock depenedencies the endpoint unregistration happens in a workqueue asynchronously. If userspace cares about synchronizing delayed work after port events the /sys/bus/cxl/flush attribute is available for that purpose.

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.
