CXL devices identified by the memory-device class code must implement the Device Command Interface (described in 8.2.9 of the CXL 2.0 spec). While the driver already maintains a list of commands it supports, there is still a need to be able to distinguish between commands that the driver knows about from commands that are optionally supported by the hardware. The Command Effects Log (CEL) is specified in the CXL 2.0 specification. The CEL is one of two types of logs, the other being vendor specific. They are distinguished in hardware/spec via UUID. The CEL is useful for 2 things: 1. Determine which optional commands are supported by the CXL device. 2. Enumerate any vendor specific commands The CEL is used by the driver to determine which commands are available in the hardware and therefore which commands userspace is allowed to execute. The set of enabled commands might be a subset of commands which are advertised in UAPI via CXL_MEM_SEND_COMMAND IOCTL. With the CEL enabling comes a internal flag to indicate a base set of commands that are enabled regardless of CEL. Such commands are required for basic interaction with the hardware and thus can be useful in debug cases, for example if the CEL is corrupted. The implementation leaves the statically defined table of commands and supplements it with a bitmap to determine commands that are enabled. This organization was chosen for the following reasons: - Smaller memory footprint. Doesn't need a table per device. - Reduce memory allocation complexity. - Fixed command IDs to opcode mapping for all devices makes development and debugging easier. - Certain helpers are easily achievable, like cxl_for_each_cmd().

README
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.
