Nah, that's not nitpicking - it is important that we sort out stuff fully before committing. Now, I'm trying to understand what you're telling me and I believe you mean what update_domains() does, yes? And I guess a more fitting subject in that case could be: x86/intel_rdt: Ensure a CPU remains online for the region's pseudo-locking sequence or so, and then the commit message explains in more detail what that title actually means. :) Hmmm. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
