[ Upstream commit3398183808] The sanitize operation is destructive and the expectation is that the device is unmapped while in progress. The current implementation does a lockless check for decoders being active, but then does nothing to prevent decoders from racing to be committed. Introduce state tracking to resolve this race. This incidentally cleans up unpriveleged userspace from triggering mmio read cycles by spinning on reading the 'security/state' attribute. Which at a minimum is a waste since the kernel state machine can cache the completion result. Lastly cxl_mem_sanitize() was mistakenly marked EXPORT_SYMBOL() in the original implementation, but an export was never required.

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.
