The cxl_test machinery builds modified versions of the modules in drivers/cxl/ and intercepts some of their calls to allow cxl_test to inject mock CXL topologies for test. However, if cxl_test attempts the same with production modules, fireworks ensue as Luis discovered [1]. Prevent that scenario by arranging for cxl_test to check for a "watermark" symbol in each of the modules it expects to be modified before the test can run. This turns undefined runtime behavior or crashes into a safer failure to load the cxl_test module.

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.
