Matthew R. Ochs a5ed99bc6f scsi: cxlflash: Avoid clobbering context control register value
[ Upstream commit 465891fe9237b02f8d0fd26448f733fae7236f4a ]

The SISLite specification originally defined the context control register with
a single field of bits to represent the LISN and also stipulated that the
register reset value be 0. The cxlflash driver took advantage of this when
programming the LISN for the master contexts via an unconditional write - no
other bits were preserved.

When unmap support was added, SISLite was updated to define bit 0 of the
context control register as a way for the AFU to notify the context owner that
unmap operations were supported. Thus the assumptions under which the register
is setup changed and the existing unconditional write is clobbering the unmap
state for master contexts. This is presently not an issue due to the order in
which the context control register is programmed in relation to the unmap bit
being queried but should be addressed to avoid a future regression in the
event this code is moved elsewhere.

To remedy this issue, preserve the bits when programming the LISN field in the
context control register. Since the LISN will now be programmed using a read
value, assert that the initial state of the LISN field is as described in
SISLite (0).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
