cxl: Disable prefault_mode in Radix mode
Currently we see a kernel-oops reported on Power-9 while attaching a context to an AFU, with radix-mode and sysfs attr 'prefault_mode' set to anything other than 'none'. The backtrace of the oops is of this form: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000080 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00800000bcf3b20 cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000037f003800] pc: c00800000bcf3b20: cxl_load_segment+0x178/0x290 [cxl] lr: c00800000bcf39f0: cxl_load_segment+0x48/0x290 [cxl] sp: c00000037f003a80 msr: 9000000000009033 dar: 80 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc00000037f280000 paca = 0xc0000003ffffe600 softe: 3 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 3529, comm = afp_no_int <snip> cxl_prefault+0xfc/0x248 [cxl] process_element_entry_psl9+0xd8/0x1a0 [cxl] cxl_attach_dedicated_process_psl9+0x44/0x130 [cxl] native_attach_process+0xc0/0x130 [cxl] afu_ioctl+0x3f4/0x5e0 [cxl] do_vfs_ioctl+0xdc/0x890 ksys_ioctl+0x68/0xf0 sys_ioctl+0x40/0xa0 system_call+0x58/0x6c The issue is caused as on Power-8 the AFU attr 'prefault_mode' was used to improve initial storage fault performance by prefaulting process segments. However on Power-9 with radix mode we don't have Storage-Segments that we can prefault. Also prefaulting process Pages will be too costly and fine-grained. Hence, since the prefaulting mechanism doesn't makes sense of radix-mode, this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any other value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.
