Hi Ben,
Same concern touches 2 patches, so commenting here:
libcxl: Add CXL protocol errors
cxl/list: Add injectable errors in output
I'm seeing some unwanted complaining with cxl list when protocol inject
is not supported. Here is a sample:
# cxl list -P -v
libcxl: cxl_add_protocol_errors: failed to access
/sys/kernel/debug/cxl/einj_types: No such file or directory
libcxl: cxl_dport_get_einj_path: failed to access
/sys/kernel/debug/cxl/cxl_host_bridge.0/einj_inject: No such file or directory
libcxl: cxl_dport_get_einj_path: failed to access
/sys/kernel/debug/cxl/cxl_root_port.0/einj_inject: No such file or directory
libcxl: cxl_dport_get_einj_path: failed to access
/sys/kernel/debug/cxl/cxl_switch_dport.0/einj_inject: No such file or directory
I believe it is not an error for the path not to exist. With the device poison,
you already treat search for debugfs file as an existence test and no
error is emitted on failure to find.
If the diff below works for you, and nothing else comes up, I can fix it up
when merging. Let me know -
