This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests/resctrl: Fix incorrect parsing of iMC counters to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: selftests-resctrl-fix-incorrect-parsing-of-imc-count.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e781826ad69c6cb5995c82e5a918719c95cc2830 Author: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 17 02:22:53 2021 +0000 selftests/resctrl: Fix incorrect parsing of iMC counters [ Upstream commit d81343b5eedf84be71a4313e8fd073d0c510afcf ] iMC (Integrated Memory Controller) counters are usually at "/sys/bus/event_source/devices/" and are named as "uncore_imc_<n>". num_of_imcs() function tries to count number of such iMC counters so that it could appropriately initialize required number of perf_attr structures that could be used to read these iMC counters. num_of_imcs() function assumes that all the directories under this path that start with "uncore_imc" are iMC counters. But, on some systems there could be directories named as "uncore_imc_free_running" which aren't iMC counters. Trying to read from such directories will result in "not found file" errors and MBM/MBA tests will fail. Hence, fix the logic in num_of_imcs() such that it looks at the first character after "uncore_imc_" to check if it's a numerical digit or not. If it's a digit then the directory represents an iMC counter, else, skip the directory.
