Subject: RE: [PATCH v2 08/18] x86/resctrl: Queue mon_event_read() instead of
sending an IPI
Hi, James,

But mkdir mon group needs mon_event_count() to reset RMID state.
If mon_event_count() is called much later, the RMID state may be used
before it's reset. E.g. prev_msr might be non-0 value. That will cause
overflow code failure.
Seems this may happen on both x86 and arm64. At least need to make sure
RMID state reset happens before it's used.
