It is required (in the docs [1]) for the /sys/fs/resctrl so that all possible programs that will access that directory are mutually excluded. The only way this will work is when all of them behave according to the documentation. [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/x86/intel_rdt_ui.txt
