Hi Terry,

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/[email protected]

Works fine.  Generally you can crop that end bit off the links.

Why is this an RFC rather than a final proposal?  There should always
be something to give the reviewer that info in the patch description.
I'd actually be tempted to throw a cover letter in to have somewhere
out of the way to put that information.

Is it simply because it only makes sense once the other seris lands.

+CC Ashok,

Various thing inline.  Mostly this review is a bit superficial as I'd like
ideally to see a cleaner separation of this at level of files etc.

Thanks,

Do we think anyone who has CXL and PCIEAER_INJECT support will want
to carefully not build this?  I'm just wondering if we can avoid asking
the question and base the built or not on the combination of those.

Do we need the ifdefs?  If the option isn't built none of this should get
used.  So small benefit.

Unless very strong reasons for it, generally don't do #if stuff in c files.
Just have a separate c file for this.  Otherwise it hurts readability and
we tend to loose the clean separation over time.  A file makes that less
likely.

Given these are offsets into cxl_aer_einj.aer_registers / ras_registers
can we use sizeof(*cxl_aer_einj.aer_registers) etc

Might as well wrap to 80 chars and save a line.

        cxl_aer_einj.dev = cxl_aer_einj.is_rch ? pdev->dev.parent : 
pci_dev_get(&pdev->dev);

Or use an if else for both is_rch based choices.
Lazy me wonders.... Can we just grab a reference to the dev.parent for is_rch 
and
simplify the code?  We don't really need it I think but it is harmless.

Probably wrap this to push that up a line.

Given the output of this is always force cast, maybe move that force up to the 
caller?

Not locally obvious why a thing called to_einj_ras_base should put anything it 
didn't
get.  I think this needs a restructure to more obviously be tidying up 
references
that were held over the queue. At very leads needs a comment.

Wrap with

Use instead
        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CXL_PROTO_AR_EINJ))

then compiler can see the code (but remove it) which means
you don't need the dance around the label below.

In general follow this pattern anyway rather than #if 
when you can.

{ }
as the else is multiline (see coding standard)

Maybe need a comment for why it might be an RCEC for injection.
Is this an RCH specific path where there is nothing else to target?

I wonder if we want to restrict this to specific modules?

One for Bjorn probably.
