πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
cxl destroy-region <region> [<options>]
you give it a region, you optionally give it options, it does the thing. no cap. π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so real talk, what even is a CXL region? a region is made up of one or more slices of CXL memdevs, and it's got configurable interleave settings β specifically the number of interleave ways and the interleave granularity. that's the whole vibe. this command is the one that makes it not exist anymore. β¨
β EXAMPLE β
# cxl destroy-region all
destroyed 2 regions
iconic. it ate. two regions, deleted, and it even tells you how many it got. π
π OPTIONS π
-b,--bus=β restrict the whole operation to the specified bus. keep it contained, bestie. π-f,--forceβ force a destroy operation even if the region is active. it'll attempt to disable the region first, so likeβ¦ it tries to be polite about it. π-d,--decoder=β the root decoder to limit the operation to. only regions that are children of the specified decoder get acted upon. no random strays, iykyk. π--debugβ turn on additional debug messages, including library debug. for when you simply must know everything. π₯
