When trying to update the scrub_cycle value of a cxl region, which means
updating the scrub_cycle value of each memdev under a cxl region. cxl
driver needs to guarantee the new scrub_cycle value is greater than the
min_scrub_cycle value of a memdev, otherwise the updating operation will
fail(Per Table 8-223 in CXL r3.2 section 8.2.10.9.11.1).
Current implementation logic of getting the min_scrub_cycle value of a
cxl region is that getting the min_scrub_cycle value of each memdevs
under the cxl region, then using the minimum min_scrub_cycle value as
the region's min_scrub_cycle. Checking if the new scrub_cycle value is
greater than this value. If yes, updating the new scrub_cycle value to
each memdevs. The issue is that the new scrub_cycle value is possibly
greater than the minimum min_scrub_cycle value of all memdevs but less
than the maximum min_scrub_cycle value of all memdevs if memdevs have
a different min_scrub_cycle value. The updating operation will always
fail on these memdevs which have a greater min_scrub_cycle than the new
scrub_cycle.
The correct implementation logic is to get the maximum value of these
memdevs' min_scrub_cycle, check if the new scrub_cycle value is greater
than the value. If yes, the new scrub_cycle value is fit for the region.
The change also impacts the result of
cxl_patrol_scrub_get_min_scrub_cycle(), the interface returned the
minimum min_scrub_cycle value among all memdevs under the region before
the change. The interface will return the maximum min_scrub_cycle value
among all memdevs under the region with the change.
