Correct. Reinette suggested to have "no domains" means ALL the domains. Example: Initial list: $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_control non_def_ctrl_mon_grep//0=_;1=_;2=_;3=_;4=_;5=_;6=_;7=_; //0=_;1=_;2=_;3=_;4=_;5=_;6=_;7=_; Two groups and no events assigned. To assign total event on all the domains, The command will look like this. $ echo "//=t" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_control Parsing becomes ugly here. I look for domain number after the name. Now I have add some ugly checks there. I also thought about something like this: $ echo "//FFFF=t" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_control FFFF means all the domains. But there could be domain number with FFFF also. So, I dropped the idea. > customizations. (And also to avoid serializing programming all the > domains the same way.) One more thing with respect to domains: This series updates all the domains when assignment is requested. Makes it easy to implement. For example: $ echo "//0=t" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_control This command will assign total event on all the domains on default group even though user passed only domain 0. I am looking at supporting domain specific assignment right now. If your use case is specific to each domain then I can add that support in in next revision. > > >> >> .../admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 2 +- >> Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst | 144 ++++ >> arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h | 1 + >> arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h | 2 + >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpuid-deps.c | 3 + >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/core.c | 25 +- >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/internal.h | 56 +- >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/monitor.c | 24 +- >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c | 714 +++++++++++++++++- >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/scattered.c | 1 + >> include/linux/resctrl.h | 12 + >> 11 files changed, 964 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) >> >> -- >> 2.34.1 >> > > This should be fine for me to get started with.
