Testing of ram region support [1], stimulates a long standing bug in
cxl_detach_ep() where some cxl_ep_remove() cleanup is skipped due to
inability to walk ports after dports have been unregistered. That
results in a failure to re-register a memdev after the port is
re-enabled leading to a crash like the following:
cxl_port_setup_targets: cxl region4: cxl_host_bridge.0:port4 iw: 1 ig: 256
general protection fault, ...

Change the port ancestry walk to be by depth rather than by dport. This
ensures that even if a port has unregistered its dports a deferred
memdev cleanup will still be able to cleanup the memdev's interest in
that port.
The parent_port->dev.driver check is only needed for determining if the
bottom up removal beat the top-down removal, but cxl_ep_remove() can
always proceed given the port is pinned. That is, the two sources of
cxl_ep_remove() are in cxl_detach_ep() and cxl_port_release(), and
cxl_port_release() can not run if cxl_detach_ep() holds a reference.

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.
