I can remove "resource" key word. If just that if something other than resource comes up to limit to in future, it will be hard to define at that time. > Also can't the .max file list > the available resources? Why does it need a separtae list file? > max file does lists them only after limits are configured for that device. Thats when rpool (array of max and usage counts) is allocated. If user wants to know what all knobs are available, than list file exposes them on per device basis without actually mentioning actual limit or without allocating rpool arrays. If you are hinting that I should allocate rpool array when rdma cgroup is created, that can be done for already discovered devices. If new devices are discovered after cgroup is created, for them we anyway have to allocate/free when they appear/disappear. In different implementation, where list of all the rdma cgroups can be maintained, and rpool arrays can be allocated for all of them when new device appear/disappear. This can move complexity of dynamic allocation from try_charge/uncharge to device addition and removal APIs. ib_register_ib_device() level. However this comes with memory cost, where even if those device doesnt participate in cgroup, for them rpool memory will be allocated for each such rdma cgroup. list file looks like below for two device entries. mlx4_0 ah qp mr pd srq flow ocrdma0 ah qp mr pd max file looks like below. mlx4_0 ah=100 qp=40 mr=10 pd=90 srq=10 flow=10 >> I roll out new patch for events post this patch as additional feature >> and remove this feature in V2. >> >> rdma.resource.verb.list file is unique to rdma cgroup, so I believe >> this is fine. > > Please see above. > >> We will conclude whether to have rdma.resource.hw.<files> or not in >> other patches. >> I am in opinion to keep "resource" and "verb" or "hw" tags around to >> keep it verbose enough to know what are we trying to control. > > What does that achieve?
