This series aims to address long-standing conflicts between dax_hmem and CXL when handling Soft Reserved memory ranges. I have considered adding support for DAX_CXL_MODE_REGISTER, but I do not yet have a solid approach. Since this came up in discussion yesterday, I am sending the current work and would appreciate inputs on how best to handle the DAX_CXL_MODE_REGISTER case.
