Reinette,
I'm not sure of the problem. The commit said the patch is splitting the
rdt_domain structure into rdt_ctrl_domain and rdt_mon_domain.
The piece of the patch where you gave this comment changed like this:
------- Before -------
/**
* struct rdt_domain - group of CPUs sharing a resctrl resource
* @hdr: common header for different domain types
* @rmid_busy_llc: bitmap of which limbo RMIDs are above threshold
* @mbm_total: saved state for MBM total bandwidth
* @mbm_local: saved state for MBM local bandwidth
* @mbm_over: worker to periodically read MBM h/w counters
* @cqm_limbo: worker to periodically read CQM h/w counters
* @mbm_work_cpu: worker CPU for MBM h/w counters
* @cqm_work_cpu: worker CPU for CQM h/w counters
* @plr: pseudo-locked region (if any) associated with domain
* @staged_config: parsed configuration to be applied
* @mbps_val: When mba_sc is enabled, this holds the array of user
* specified control values for mba_sc in MBps, indexed
* by closid
*/
struct rdt_domain {
struct rdt_domain_hdr hdr;
unsigned long *rmid_busy_llc;
struct mbm_state *mbm_total;
struct mbm_state *mbm_local;
struct delayed_work mbm_over;
struct delayed_work cqm_limbo;
int mbm_work_cpu;
int cqm_work_cpu;
struct pseudo_lock_region *plr;
struct resctrl_staged_config staged_config[CDP_NUM_TYPES];
u32 *mbps_val;
};
------- After -------
/**
* struct rdt_ctrl_domain - group of CPUs sharing a resctrl control resource
* @hdr: common header for different domain types
* @cpu_mask: which CPUs share this resource
* @plr: pseudo-locked region (if any) associated with domain
* @staged_config: parsed configuration to be applied
* @mbps_val: When mba_sc is enabled, this holds the array of user
* specified control values for mba_sc in MBps, indexed
* by closid
*/
struct rdt_ctrl_domain {
struct rdt_domain_hdr hdr;
struct cpumask cpu_mask;
struct pseudo_lock_region *plr;
struct resctrl_staged_config staged_config[CDP_NUM_TYPES];
u32 *mbps_val;
};
/**
* struct rdt_mon_domain - group of CPUs sharing a resctrl control resource
* @hdr: common header for different domain types
* @rmid_busy_llc: bitmap of which limbo RMIDs are above threshold
* @mbm_total: saved state for MBM total bandwidth
* @mbm_local: saved state for MBM local bandwidth
* @mbm_over: worker to periodically read MBM h/w counters
* @cqm_limbo: worker to periodically read CQM h/w counters
* @mbm_work_cpu: worker CPU for MBM h/w counters
* @cqm_work_cpu: worker CPU for CQM h/w counters
*/
struct rdt_mon_domain {
struct rdt_domain_hdr hdr;
unsigned long *rmid_busy_llc;
struct mbm_state *mbm_total;
struct mbm_state *mbm_local;
struct delayed_work mbm_over;
struct delayed_work cqm_limbo;
int mbm_work_cpu;
int cqm_work_cpu;
};
-----
Which to my eyes looks like exactly what the commit comment says I
was going to do the in this patch. The old rdt_domain structure has
been replaced with two structures, with names as described in the commit
comment. The fields of the orginal structure have been distributed
betweeen the two new structures based on whether they are used for
control or monitor functions.
What am I missing? (Apart from a silly cut & paste error in the comments
that I just noticed and will fix now).
