Subject: RE: [PATCH v3 0/4] selftests/resctrl: Enable MBM and MBA tests on AMD

Hello Babu,
 
I think you are still planning to upstream this patch series.
Do you have a timeline for posting v4? And when do you anticipate it being merged?

I'd like to enable MBM/MBA tests for ARM arch (MPAM driver),
However, I foresee potential conflicts if this patch series is not merged.
I apologize for the inconvenience, I kindly request your attention to this matter.

Hello James, Dave,

Have you already considered or made any plans to enable the MBM/MBA tests for the MPAM driver?

Best regards,
Shaopeng TAN
