NAME
cxl-list - List platform CXL objects, and their attributes, in json.
SYNOPSIS
cxl list [<options>]
Walk the CXL capable device hierarchy in the system and list all device instances along
with some of their major attributes.
Options can be specified to limit the output to specific objects. When a single object
type is specified the return json object is an array of just those objects, when multiple
objects types are specified the returned the returned object may be an array of arrays
with the inner array named for the given object type. The top-level arrays are ellided
when the objects can nest under a higher object-type in the hierararchy. The potential
top-level array names and their nesting properties are:
"anon memdevs"
(disabled memory devices) do not nest
"buses"
do not nest
"ports"
nest under buses
"endpoints"
nest under ports or buses (if ports are not emitted)
"memdevs"
nest under endpoints or ports (if endpoints are not emitted) or buses (if endpoints
and ports are not emitted)
"root decoders"
nest under buses
"port decoders"
nest under ports, or buses (if ports are not emitted)
"endpoint decoders"
nest under endpoints, or ports (if endpoints are not emitted) or buses (if endpoints
and ports are not emitted)
Filters can by specifed as either a single identidier, a space separated quoted string, or
a comma separated list. When multiple filter identifiers are specified within a filter
string, like "-m mem0,mem1,mem2", they are combined as an OR filter. When multiple filter
string types are specified, like "-m mem0,mem1,mem2 -p port10", they are combined as an
AND filter. So, "-m mem0,mem1,mem2 -p port10" would only list objects that are beneath
port10 AND map mem0, mem1, OR mem2.
Given that many topology queries seek to answer questions relative to a given memdev,
buses, ports, endpoints, and decoders can be filtered by one or more memdevs. For example:
# cxl list -P -p switch,endpoint -m mem0
[
{
"port":"port1",
"host":"ACPI0016:00",
"endpoints:port1":[
{
"endpoint":"endpoint2",
"host":"mem0"
}
]
}
]
Additionally, when provisioning new interleave configurations it is useful to know which
memdevs can be referenced by a given decoder like a root decoder, or mapped by a given
port if the decoders are not configured.
# cxl list -Mu -d decoder0.0
{
"memdev":"mem0",
"pmem_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)",
"serial":"0",
"host":"0000:35:00.0"
}
Note that for the -m/--memdev=, -p/--port=, and -e/--endpoint= filters a host device name
can be substituted for the CXL object identifier. For -m/--memdev= this is an endpoint PCI
device name of the form "DDDD:bb:dd.f" (D: Domain b: Bus d: Device f: Function) (see
/sys/bus/pci/devices), for -p/--port= this is an upstream switch port PCI device name of
the form "DDDD:bb:dd.f", or a PCI bus name of the form "pciDDDD:bb", and for
-e/--endpoint= the host device is CXL memory device object name of the form "memX".
The --human option in addition to reformatting some fields to more human friendly strings
also unwraps the array to reduce the number of lines of output.
EXAMPLE
# cxl list --memdevs

{
"memdev":"mem0",

Include partition information in the memdev listing. Example listing:
# cxl list -m mem0 -I
[
{
"memdev":"mem0",
"ram_size":273535729664,
"partition_info":{

# cxl list -m mem0 -A
[
{
"memdev":"mem0",
"pmem_size":0,
"ram_size":273535729664,
"alert_config":{

"dev_under_temperature_prog_warn_threshold":0,
"corrected_volatile_mem_err_prog_warn_threshold":0,
"corrected_pmem_err_prog_warn_threshold":0
},
}
]
-B, --buses
Include bus / CXL root object(s) in the listing. Typically, on ACPI systems the bus
object is a singleton associated with the ACPI0017 device, but there are test
scenerios where there may be multiple CXL memory hierarchies.
# cxl list -B
[
{
"bus":"root3",
"provider":"cxl_test"
},
{
"bus":"root0",
"provider":"ACPI.CXL"
}
]
-b, --bus=
Specify CXL root device name(s), device id(s), and / or CXL bus provider names to
filter the listing. The supported provider names are "ACPI.CXL" and "cxl_test".
-P, --ports
Include port objects (CXL / PCIe root ports + Upstream Switch Ports) in the listing.
-p, --port=
Specify CXL Port device name(s) ("port2"), device id(s) ("2"), host device name(s)
("pci0000:34"), and / or port type name(s) to filter the listing. The supported port
type names are "root" and "switch". Note that a bus object is also a port, so the
following two syntaxes are equivalent:
# cxl list -B
# cxl list -P -p root -S
...where the '-S/--single' is required since descendant ports are always
included in a port listing and '-S/--single' stops after listing the
bus. Additionally, endpoint objects are ports so the following commands
are equivalent, and no '-S/--single' is required as endpoint ports are
terminal:
# cxl list -E
# cxl list -P -p endpoint
By default, only 'switch' ports are listed, i.e.
# cxl list -P
# cxl list -P -p switch
...are equivalent.
-S, --single
Specify whether the listing should emit all the objects that are descendants of a port
that matches the port filter, or only direct descendants of the individual ports that
match the filter. By default all descendant objects are listed.
-E, --endpoints
Include endpoint objects (CXL Memory Device decoders) in the listing.
# cxl list -E
[
{
"endpoint":"endpoint2",
"host":"mem0"
}
]
-e, --endpoint
Specify CXL endpoint device name(s), or device id(s) to filter the emitted
endpoint(s).
-D, --decoders
Include decoder objects (CXL Memory decode capability instances in buses, ports, and
endpoints) in the listing.
-d, --decoder
Specify CXL decoder device name(s), device id(s), or decoder type names to filter the
emitted decoder(s). The format for a decoder name is "decoder<port_id>.<instance_id>".
The possible decoder type names are "root", "switch", or "endpoint", similar to the
port filter syntax.
-T, --targets
Extend decoder listings with downstream port target information, port and bus listings
with the downstream port information, and / or regions with mapping information.
# cxl list -BTu -b ACPI.CXL
{
"bus":"root0",
"provider":"ACPI.CXL",
"nr_dports":1,
"dports":[
{
"dport":"ACPI0016:00",
"alias":"pci0000:34",
"id":"0"
}
]
}
-R, --regions
Include region objects in the listing.
-X, --dax
Append DAX information to region listings
# cxl list -RXu
{
"region":"region4",
"resource":"0xf010000000",
"size":"512.00 MiB (536.87 MB)",
"interleave_ways":2,
"interleave_granularity":4096,
"decode_state":"commit",
"daxregion":{
"id":4,
"size":"512.00 MiB (536.87 MB)",
"align":2097152,
"devices":[
{
"chardev":"dax4.0",
"size":"512.00 MiB (536.87 MB)",
"target_node":0,
"align":2097152,
"mode":"system-ram",
"online_memblocks":0,
"total_memblocks":4
}
]
}
}
-r, --region
Specify CXL region device name(s), or device id(s), to filter the listing.
-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity of the output. This can be specified multiple times to be even more
verbose on the informational and miscellaneous output, and can be used to override
omitted flags for showing specific information. Note that cxl list --verbose --verbose
is equivalent to cxl list -vv.
• -v Enable --memdevs, --regions, --buses, --ports, --decoders, and --targets.
• -vv Everything -v provides, plus include disabled devices with --idle.
• -vvv Everything -vv provides, plus enable --health and --partition.
--debug
If the cxl tool was built with debug enabled, turn on debug messages.
-u, --human
By default the command will output machine-friendly raw-integer data. Instead, with
this flag, numbers representing storage size will be formatted as human readable
strings with units, other fields are converted to hexadecimal strings.
