Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 6/8] x86/resctrl: Move default control group creation
 during mount

Hi Babu,

Please do note that the subject is no longer accurate.

How about a slight rewording (please feel free to change):

  The default resource group and its files are created during kernel
  init time. Upcoming changes will make some resctrl files optional
  based on a mount parameter. If optional files are to be added to the
  default group based on the mount option, then each new file needs to
  be created separately and call kernfs_activate() again.

  Create all files of the default resource group during resctrl
  mount, destroyed during unmount, to avoid scattering resctrl
  file addition across two separate code flows.

Please ensure that all rdtgroup_setup_root() cleanup is done
here. It seems to me that rdtgroup_default.kn can be left pointing
to freed memory. Since this cleanup is done multiple places (here
and rdt_kill_sb()) it may help to create a helper.

Apart from this the patch looks good to me.

Thank you.

Reinette
