Driver reads of the poison list are synchronized to ensure that a reader does not get an incomplete list because their request overlapped (was interrupted or preceded by) another read request of the same DPA range. (CXL Spec 3.0 Section 8.2.9.8.4.1). The driver maintains state information to achieve this goal. To initialize the state, first recognize the poison commands in the CEL (Command Effects Log). If the device supports Get Poison List, allocate a single buffer for the poison list and protect it with a lock.

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.
