Re: [PATCH v6 09/22] x86/resctrl: Introduce MBM counters bitmap

Hi Babu,

Hardware provides a set of counters when mbm_cntr_assignable feature is
supported. These counters are used for assigning the events in resctrl
group when the feature is enabled.

"in resctrl group" -> "in a resctrl group"?


Introduce mbm_cntrs_free_map bitmap to track available and free counters

What is the difference between an available and a free counter?

and set of routines to allocate and free the counters.

add checking that the resource actually supports monitoring and
assignable counters before proceeding with the bitmap ops.

This is also an example of what James mentioned elsewhere where there is an
assumption that this feature applies to the L3 resource. This has a consequence
that some code is global (like mbm_cntrs_free_map), assuming the L3 resource, while
other code takes the resource as parameter (eg. mbm_cntr_alloc()). This results
in inconsistent interface where, for example, allocating a counter needs resource
as parameter but freeing a counter does not. James already proposed different
treatment of the bitmap and L3 resource parameters, I expect with such guidance
the interfaces will become more intuitive.
