Peter (and Babu, who made the same point about get_mbm_state().

Do you want to see your function extended to do the "pick an MBM event?"

I could add a s/w defined "event" to the enum resctrl_event_id and
extend get_mbm_state() like this:


static struct mbm_state *get_mbm_state(struct rdt_domain *d, u32 rmid,
				       enum resctrl_event_id evtid)
{
	switch (evtid) {
	case QOS_L3_MBM_TOTAL_EVENT_ID:
		return &d->mbm_total[rmid];
	case QOS_L3_MBM_LOCAL_EVENT_ID:
		return &d->mbm_local[rmid];
+	case QOS_L3_MBM_LOCAL_OR_TOTAL_EVENT_ID:
+		if (is_mbm_local_enabled())
+			return &d->mbm_local[rmid];
+		if (is_mbm_total_enabled())
+			return &d->mbm_total[rmid];
+		fallthrough;
	default:
		return NULL;
	}
}

Is this the direction you are thinking of?

Callers then look like:

static void mbm_bw_count(u32 rmid, struct rmid_read *rr)
{
	struct mbm_state *m = get_mbm_state(rr->d, rmid, QOS_L3_MBM_LOCAL_OR_TOTAL_EVENT_ID);
	u64 cur_bw, bytes, cur_bytes;

similar for the other three places where this is needed.

Any suggestions on how "QOS_L3_MBM_LOCAL_OR_TOTAL_EVENT_ID" could be
abbreviated, or just have some different, but descriptive, name?
