Ok I see you requested[1] one such example earlier. >From what I've read, is this what you had in mind of reassigning 32 counters from the first 16 groups to the next? I had found that it's hard to get a single write() syscall out of a string containing newlines, so I'm using one explicit call: write([mbm_assign_control fd], "/c1/m1/00=_;02=_;03=_;04=_;05=_;06=_;07=_;08=_;09=_;10=_;11=_;12=_;13=_;14=_;15=_\n" "/c1/m2/00=_;01=_;02=_;03=_;04=_;05=_;06=_;07=_;08=_;09=_;10=_;11=_;12=_;13=_;14=_;15=_\n" "/c1/m3/00=_;01=_;02=_;03=_;04=_;05=_;06=_;07=_;08=_;09=_;10=_;11=_;12=_;13=_;14=_;15=_\n" [...] "/c1/m14/00=_;01=_;02=_;03=_;04=_;05=_;06=_;07=_;08=_;09=_;10=_;11=_;12=_;13=_;14=_;15=_\n" "/c1/m15/00=_;01=_;02=_;03=_;04=_;05=_;06=_;07=_;08=_;09=_;10=_;11=_;12=_;13=_;14=_;15=_\n" "/c1/m16/00=lt;01=lt;02=lt;03=lt;04=lt;05=lt;06=lt;07=lt;08=lt;09=lt;10=lt;11=lt;12=lt;13=lt;14=lt;15=lt\n" "/c1/m17/00=lt;01=lt;02=lt;03=lt;04=lt;05=lt;06=lt;07=lt;08=lt;09=lt;10=lt;11=lt;12=lt;13=lt;14=lt;15=lt\n" "/c1/m18/00=lt;01=lt;02=lt;03=lt;04=lt;05=lt;06=lt;07=lt;08=lt;09=lt;10=lt;11=lt;12=lt;13=lt;14=lt;15=lt\n" [...] "/c1/m30/00=lt;01=lt;02=lt;03=lt;04=lt;05=lt;06=lt;07=lt;08=lt;09=lt;10=lt;11=lt;12=lt;13=lt;14=lt;15=lt\n" "/c1/m31/00=lt;01=lt;02=lt;03=lt;04=lt;05=lt;06=lt;07=lt;08=lt;09=lt;10=lt;11=lt;12=lt;13=lt;14=lt;15=lt\n", size); Thanks! -Peter [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d29a28c8-1180-45ec-bd87-d2e8a8124c42@xxxxxxxxx/
