When trying to update the scrub_cycle value of a cxl region, which means updating the scrub_cycle value of each memdev under a cxl region. cxl driver needs to guarantee the new scrub_cycle value is greater than the min_scrub_cycle value of a memdev, otherwise the updating operation will fail(Per Table 8-223 in CXL r3.2 section 8.2.10.9.11.1). Current implementation logic of getting the min_scrub_cycle value of a cxl region is that getting the min_scrub_cycle value of each memdevs under the cxl region, then using the minimum min_scrub_cycle value as the region's min_scrub_cycle. Checking if the new scrub_cycle value is greater than this value. If yes, updating the new scrub_cycle value to each memdevs. The issue is that the new scrub_cycle value is possibly greater than the minimum min_scrub_cycle value of all memdevs but less than the maximum min_scrub_cycle value of all memdevs if memdevs have a different min_scrub_cycle value. The updating operation will always fail on these memdevs which have a greater min_scrub_cycle than the new scrub_cycle. The correct implementation logic is to get the maximum value of these memdevs' min_scrub_cycle, check if the new scrub_cycle value is greater than the value. If yes, the new scrub_cycle value is fit for the region. The change also impacts the result of cxl_patrol_scrub_get_min_scrub_cycle(), the interface returned the minimum min_scrub_cycle value among all memdevs under the region before the change. The interface will return the maximum min_scrub_cycle value among all memdevs under the region with the change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
