Commit Message

Davidlohr Bueso Aug. 13, 2024, 10:12 p.m. UTC
As of 3.1 spec, background commands can be canceled with a new
abort command. Implement the support, which is advertised in
the CEL. No ad-hoc context undoing is necessary as all the
command logic of the running bg command is done upon completion.
Arbitrarily, the on-going background cmd will not be aborted if
already at least 85% done;

A mutex is introduced to stabilize mbox request cancel command vs
the timer callback being fired scenarios (as well as reading the
mbox registers). While some operations under critical regions
may be unnecessary (irq notifying, cmd callbacks), this is not
a path where performance is important, so simplicity is preferred.

Changes based on the following thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20240729102010.20996-1-ajay.opensrc@micron.com

 - Added a mutex (and expanded CCI to have a destroy counterpart).
   An 'initialized' flag is added for correctly handling the reset()
   case.
 - Added the case where cancel is not done.
 - Picked up Ajay's tags but it would be good to re-review/test if
   possible.

No comments inline and LGTM. I'll queue it on my tree and push
that out on gitlab sometime soonish.
