The current operation for disable-region does not check if the memory
covered by a region is online before attempting to disable the cxl region.
Have the tool attempt to offline the relevant memory before attempting to
disable the region(s). If offline fails, stop and return error.

Provide a -f option for the region to continue disable the region even if
the memory is not offlined. Add a warning to state that the physical
memory is being leaked and unrecoverable unless reboot due to disable without
offline.

v3:
- Remove movable check. (Dan)
- Attempt to offline if not offline. -f will disable region anyways even
  if memory not offline. (Dan)
v2:
- Update documentation and help output. (Vishal)

Hi Dave

In this patch, a new function 'disable_region(region)' has been added. 
When using the 'cxl destroy-region region0 -f' command, there's a check 
first, followed by the 'destroy-region' operation. In terms of 
user-friendliness, which function is more user-friendly: 
'cxl_region_disable(region)' or 'disable_region(region)'?

Attach destroy_region section code
static int destroy_region(struct cxl_region *region)
{
     const char *devname = cxl_region_get_devname(region);
     unsigned int ways, i;
     int rc;

     /* First, unbind/disable the region if needed */
     if (cxl_region_is_enabled(region)) {
         if (param.force) {
             rc = cxl_region_disable(region);
             if (rc) {
                 log_err(&rl, "%s: error disabling region: %s\n",
                     devname, strerror(-rc));
                 return rc;
             }
         } else {
             log_err(&rl, "%s active. Disable it or use --force\n",
                 devname);
             return -EBUSY;
         }
     }

I have considered two options for your reference:

1.Assuming the user hasn't executed the 'cxl disable-region region0' 
command and directly runs 'cxl destroy-region region0 -f', using the 
'disable_region(region)' function to first take the region offline and 
then disable it might be more user-friendly.
2.If the user executes the 'cxl disable-region region0' command but 
fails to take it offline successfully, then runs 'cxl destroy-region 
region0 -f', using the 'cxl_region_disable(region)' function to directly 
'disable region' and then 'destroy region' would also be reasonable.

To make the behavior consistent, I think we should use disable_region() with the check for the destroy_region() path.

What do you think Vishal?

Yep agreed, using the new helper in destroy-region also makes sense. Do
you want to send a new patch for this - I've already applied this
series to the pending branch.
