After adding support for emulating platform firmware established DPA
reservations, the cxl-topology.sh [1] unit test started crashing with
the following signature:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6bc3: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
[..]
RIP: 0010:to_cxl_port+0x8/0x60 [cxl_core]
[..]
Call Trace:
<TASK>
__cxl_dpa_release+0x1b/0xd0 [cxl_core]
cxl_dpa_release+0x1d/0x30 [cxl_core]
release_nodes+0x63/0x90
devres_release_all+0x88/0xc0
...i.e. a use after free of a 'struct cxl_endpoint_decoder' object. This
results from the ordering of init_hdm_decoder() before add_hdm_decoder()
where, at release time, the decoder is unregistered and released before
the DPA reservation.
Fix this by extending the life of the object until all DPA reservations
have been released which also preserves platform decoder settings being
settled by the time the decoder is published in sysfs (KOBJ_ADD time).
Note that the @len == 0 case in __cxl_dpa_reserve() is avoided in
practice as this function is only called for committed decoders and new
non-zero DPA allocations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
