Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Fix WARN in get_domain_from_cpu()
Hi Tony,
Regarding the implication made in the subject ...
from what I understand the WARN is a false positive.

This sounds reasonable to me. Thank you for the proposal.

I do not know if it would be preferred to take this approach as
part of this work or just remove the WARN and add this
improvement/refactoring later as a follow-up.

It looks redundant to provide struct msr_param as well as two of its
members as parameters.

When CDP is enabled, could this not end up sending IPI to the same CPU twice, each
requesting CPU to do one MSR write instead of sending an IPI once to write all
needed MSRs?
