/dev/cxl directory is not created with linux kernel 6.3 and over

[yongchen65]

I have a CXL device installed on a system with Linux kernel 6.2.9. I was able to see /dev/cxl directory after system booted up. But after l updated my system with the latest Linux kernel 6.5.4, the /dev/cxl directory is no longer seen. I tried different Linux kernels (eg 6.4.x 6.3.x etc), but still couldn't see /dev/cxl directory. was there any configuration settings I was missing with the new kernels?

I have meet the same question, with a CXL Type3 device plugged into the server. I can see it with lspci and numactl , but not with cxl-cli in kernel 6.7.5.
I can see /dev/dax0.0 in my system, but can't see /dev/cxl , in kernel 6.7.5; And both of these can been seen in kernel 5.14. I guess maybe some kernel parameter is wrong, But I'm not good at this, can someone help us?
