Subject: [NDCTL PATCH] cxl: Augment documentation on cxl operational behavior
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023 13:33:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <169878439580.80025.16527732447076656149.stgit@djiang5-mobl3> (raw)

If a cxl operation is executed resulting in no-op, the tool will still
emit the number of targets the operation has succeeded on. For example, if
disable-region is issued and the region is already disabled, the tool will
still report 1 region disabled. Add verbiage to man pages to document the
behavior.

+Given any en/disabling operation, if the operation is a no-op due to the
+current state of a target, it is still considered successful when executed
+even if no actual operation is performed. The target applies to a bus,
+decoder, memdev, or region.
+
+For example:
+If a CXL region is already disabled and the cxl disable-region is called:
+
+----
+# cxl disable-region region0
+disabled 1 regions
+----
+
+The operation will still succeed with the number of regions operated on
+reported, even if the operation is a non-action.
