Subject: [PATCH 188/217] cxl/list: Clarify "-B" vs "-P -p root"
|
|
|
|
Matthew notes that 'cxl list' documentation claims that 'cxl list -B' and
|
|
'cxl list -P -p root' are equivalent. Which they are not:
|
|
|
|
$ cxl list -B
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"bus":"root0",
|
|
"provider":"ACPI.CXL"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
$ cxl list -P -p root
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"bus":"root0",
|
|
"provider":"ACPI.CXL",
|
|
"ports:root0":[
|
|
{
|
|
"port":"port1",
|
|
"host":"ACPI0016:00"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Clarify that '--single' needs to be appended to '-P -p root' to make it
|
|
equivalent to 'cxl list -B'. This is due to the behavior that listing ports
|
|
includes all descendants of a port that matches the filter. In the case of
|
|
'-P -p root' that results in all enabled ports.
|
|
|
|
$ cxl list -P -p root -S
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"bus":"root0",
|
|
"provider":"ACPI.CXL"
|
|
}
|
|
]

Specify CXL Port device name(s), device id(s), and or port type
