Perhaps this is confusion about what the "Log Size" field of Get
Supported Logs means? My reading is that the "Log Size" field indicates
the data "currently available" in the log. Correct me if I am wrong, but
it seems your reading is that it is the "possibly available" data and
software can not assume anything is available until it actually goes to
read the log.

The spec does feel ambiguous here as it could have left off the word
"maximum" to make it clearer it is the data currently pending value, or
leave off the word "available" to make it clear that this value is the
max that will ever be valid for one retrieval, but not necessarily
currently. I do not think "CXL 3.0, Table 8-36, Note 2" helps to clear
this up either as that does not answer what expectations software can
assume about Get Log::Log Size.

Are you sure that this is not a device-side implementation issue where
it needs to make sure that Get Supported Logs indicates what Get Log can
expect?

Table 8-94 "Identify Memory Device Output Payload" specifies the
*possible* data that can be made available in a log.

SET_LSA cannot be broken because SET_LSA does not return an output
payload, and GET_LSA never expects short reads.

Now, if short reads need to be supported on production devices for any
variable length output payload command, I would rather see that handled
as a cxl_internal_send_cmd() special case where mbox_cmd->size_out is
consulted when cxl_internal_send_cmd() returns -EIO.
