Hi Alison, Thanks for this ! I ran it against cxl_test in the following ways. On a kernel with the fix [1], the test passes in both run_poison_test passes: 1 poison record found after inject at the first pmem DPA, 0 after clear. On a kernel without the fix, it fails exactly at the "1 poison records expected, 0 found" assertion, so it catches the regression as intended. Just one small thing below. > Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <[email protected]> > --- > test/cxl-poison.sh | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/test/cxl-poison.sh b/test/cxl-poison.sh > index 49aa1b68c5c1..a03e08084eb4 100644 > --- a/test/cxl-poison.sh > +++ b/test/cxl-poison.sh > @@ -219,6 +219,45 @@ test_poison_by_region_offset_negative() > clear_poison "$region" "$large_offset" true > } > > +# Backstop a driver fix where a fully mapped partition prematurely > +# terminated the unmapped poison scan. > +test_poison_unmapped_later_partition() > +{ > + local decoder ram_size pmem_dpa > + "region" is assigned below but not declared local like the others. Does it have any reason for it to not be local var? It might be harmless today but tests added after this one will inherit a stale global region, if it ever uses one.
