cxl-enable-port - Man Page

activate / hot-add a given CXL port

Synopsis

cxl enable-port <port0> [<port1>..<portN>] [<options>]

A port typically autoenables at initial device discovery. However, if it was manually disabled this command can trigger the kernel to activate it again. This involves detecting the state of the HDM (Host Managed Device Memory) Decoders and validating that CXL.mem is enabled for each port in the device’s hierarchy.

Given any enable or disable command, if the operation is a no-op due to the current state of a target (i.e. already enabled or disabled), it is still considered successful when executed even if no actual operation is performed. The target can be a bus, decoder, memdev, or region. The operation will still succeed, and report the number of bus/decoder/memdev/region operated on, even if the operation is a no-op.

Options

-e,  --endpoint

Toggle from treating the port arguments as Switch Port identifiers to Endpoint Port identifiers.

-m,  --enable-memdevs

Try to enable descendant memdevs after enabling the port. Recall that a memdev is only enabled after all CXL ports in its device topology ancestry are enabled.

--debug

Turn on additional debug messages including library debug.
