My original kernel code adjusted value reported in the "size" file in resctrl. That's no longer done because the effective size depends on how applications are allocating and using memory. Since the kernel can't know that, it seemed best to just report the total size of the cache. But I think the resctrl tests still need to take this into account when running llc_occupancy tests. E.g. on a 2-way SNC system with a 100MB L3 cache a test that allocates memory from its local SNC node (default behavior without using libnuma) will only see 50 MB llc_occupancy with a fully populated L3 mask in the schemata file. -Tony
