[PATCH v5 4/8] x86/resctrl: Add comments on RFTYPE flags hierarchy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



resctrl uses RFTYPE flags for creating resctrl directory structure.

Definitions and directory structures are not documented. Add
comments to improve the readability and help future additions.
