CXL Memory Device SW Guide [1] rev1.0 2.11.2 provides instruction on how to calculate latency and bandwidth for CXL memory device. Calculate minimum bandwidth and total latency for the path from the CXL device to the root port. The QTG id is retrieved by providing the performance data as input and calling the root port callback ->get_qos_class(). The retrieved id is stored with the cxl_port of the CXL device. For example for a device that is directly attached to a host bus: Total Latency = Device Latency (from CDAT) + Dev to Host Bus (HB) Link Latency + Generic Port Latency Min Bandwidth = Min bandwidth for link bandwidth between HB and CXL device, device CDAT bandwidth, and Generic Port Bandwidth For a device that has a switch in between host bus and CXL device: Total Latency = Device (CDAT) Latency + Dev to Switch Link Latency + Switch (CDAT) Latency + Switch to HB Link Latency + Generic Port Latency Min Bandwidth = Min bandwidth for link bandwidth between CXL device to CXL switch, CXL device CDAT bandwidth, CXL switch CDAT bandwidth, CXL switch to HB bandwidth, and Generic Port Bandwidth.

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.
