+RESCTRL filesystem implementation notes
+=======================================
+RESCTRL filesystem has two main components
+ a. info
+ b. base
+
+ /sys/fs/resctrl/
+ |
+ -> info
+ |
+ | (Top level directory named "info". Contains files that
+ | provide details on control and monitoring resources")
+ |
+ -> base
+
Could you please do a "make htmldocs" and then ensure that the output
looks sane?
The resulting output does not look right to me. For example, the
above turns into
a single line that looks like:
/sys/fs/resctrl/ | -> info | | (Top level directory named "info".
Contains files that | provide details on control and monitoring
resources") | -> base
The spacing also looks off when viewing this in html.
I have fixed the all the format issues. Please let me know if it looks
ok. I will send the final version after that.
Attached the patch and also added the diff inline.
Thanks

x86/resctrl: Add comments on RFTYPE flags hierarchy
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.
