If the capi link is going down while the PSL owns a dirty cache line,
any access from the host for that data could lead to an Unrecoverable
Error.
So when resetting the capi adapter through sysfs, make sure the PSL
cache is flushed. It won't help if there are any active Process
Elements on the card, as the cache would likely get new dirty cache
lines immediately, but if resetting an idle adapter, it should avoid
any bad surprises from data left over from terminated Process Elements.

Otherwise looks good to me.

Will be a good idea if we return error and not let the reset to proceed,
if cxl_data_cache_flush returns EBUSY as continuing again may cause the
UE error.

I'm going to change cxl_data_cache_flush() to return ETIMEOUT instead of 
EBUSY, as it is misleading. With the current patch, EBUSY is not 
returned because there are active contexts running on the card. It is 
returned when the hardware/psl doesn't reply within 5 seconds to the 
flush request. It's not supposed to happen and would show an issue with 
the hardware/psl. In which case the adapter is close to useless, so we 
might as well try resetting it.

On a related note, we've talked with the folks from cxlflash, and we'll 
test a separate (complementary) patch to deny resetting the adapter if 
there are any active contexts, since, as you say, the likelihood of 
hitting a UE would be pretty high.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
