RCDs (CXL memory devices that link train without VH capability and show
up as root complex integrated endpoints), hide the presence of the link
between the endpoint and the host-bridge. The CXL region setup/teardown
paths assume that a link hop is present and go looking for at least one
'struct cxl_port' instance between the CXL root port-object and an
endpoint port-object leading to crashes of the form:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
[..]
RIP: 0010:cxl_region_setup_targets+0x3e9/0xae0 [cxl_core]
[..]
Call Trace:

Detect RCDs explicitly and skip walking the non-existent port hierarchy
between root and endpoint in that case.
While this has been a problem since:
commit 0a19bfc8de ("cxl/port: Add RCD endpoint port enumeration")
...it becomes a more reliable crash scenario with the new autodiscovery
implementation.

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.
