Can provide more details on your configuration in this case? If this is current cxl_test then I already do not expect it to work with anything but decoder3.4 since the other decoders have more complicated ordering constraints. I.e. your: cxl create-region -d decoder3.3 ...worked as expected in that it found some memdevs to attempt to create the region, but you got unlucky in the sense that the default order that 'cxl list' returns memdevs was incompatible with creating a region.

I wasn't clear on what was being advertised as supported with this change. I didn't read this as an announcement of automatic region creation, but it seemed you were hinting at it. > > Can provide more details on your configuration in this case?

Pretty much exactly as you say above. My example was w cxl_test decoder3.3, w 2 HB's. The automagic worked fine w decoder3.4 w 1 HB.
