Sure.


feature and initialize sdciae_capable.

(This is a repeat of the discussion we had surrounding the ABMC feature.)

By adding "sdciae_capable" to struct rdt_resource the "sdciae" feature
becomes a resctrl fs feature. Any other architecture that has a "similar
but perhaps not identical feature to AMD's SDCIAE" will be forced to also
call it "sdciae" ... sdciae seems like a marketing name to me and resctrl
needs something generic that could later be built on (if needed) by other
architectures.

How about "cache_inject_capable" ?

This seems generic. I will change the description also.


Basically, this feature reserves specific CLOS for SDCI cache.

We can also name "clos_reserve_capable".

Naming is always complicated. I think we should try to stay away from
"clos" in a generic name since that creates problem when trying to
apply it to Arm and is very specific to how AMD implements this
feature. "cache_inject_capable" does sound much better to me ...

ok, Sure.

it also looks like this may be more appropriate as a property
of struct resctrl_cache?

Yes. Sure. We can do that.
