Capacity is stranded when CFMWS regions are not aligned to block size.
On x86, block size increases with capacity (2G blocks @ 64G capacity).

Use CFMWS base/size to report memory block size alignment advice.

Oh, this made me go back to look at what happens if CFMWS has multiple
alignment suggestions. Should not memory_block_advise_max_size() be
considering the max advice?

    if (memory_block_advised_size) {
        ...    
    } else {
            memory_block_advised_size = max(memory_block_advised_size, size);
    }

For example, if region0 is an x4 region and region1 is an x1 region then
the memory block size should be 1GB, not 256M. I.e. CFMWS alignment
follows CXL hardware decoder alignment of "256M * InterleaveWays".

Max size to minimize capacity loss to due alignment truncation.

If CFMW-0 is aligned at 1GB and CFMW-1 is aligned at 256MB, if you select 1GB
then some portion of CFMW-1 will be unmappable.

so you want min(memory_block_advised_size, size) to ensure the hotplug memblock
size aligns to the *smallest* CFMW (or any other source) alignment.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your feedback here.


I'm not clear on why the interleave data is relevant here - that just tells us
how decoders line up with the memory region described in the CFMW.  The window
still gets chopped up into N memblocks of memory_block_advised_size.

No, whoops, you didn't misundertand, I just misread
memory_block_advise_max_size(). Makes sense and current code looks good,
you can add:

Yes the window still gets chopped, but the alignment is meant to follow
256M * InterleaveWays. The algorithm as you have it will pick that
up. So, no concerns from me from the CXL side.
