Hi Boris,

Thank you very much for code review.
I will fix these issues in v2 patch.

Please find more comments inline.
Thank you.

mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p2
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p2/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

When the new group is created, it is reasonable to initialize MBA
resource with default values.

Initialize MBA resource and cache resources in separate functions.

Please format your commit message by indenting the examples:

OK. Thank you.


x86/resctrl: Initialize a new resource group with default MBA values

Currently, when a new resource group is created, the allocation values
of the MBA resource are not initialized and remain meaningless data.

For example:

mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
MB:0=100;1=100

echo "MB:0=10;1=20" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p2
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p2/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

Therefore, when the new group is created, it is reasonable to initialize
MBA resource with default values.

Initialize the MBA resource and cache resources in separate functions."

Thx.

So all this code working on a rdt_domain *d pointer could be carved out
into a separate function called something like:

__init_one_rdt_domain(d, ...)

and this will make the code more readable and save us at least 2
indentation levels.

Please do that in a preparatory patch.

Good suggestion. I will do it in v2 patch.


- if (r->rid == RDT_RESOURCE_MBA)
- continue;

Then, after having done that, it would be very obvious when you do this
above because you won't be calling that __init_one_rdt_domain() function
for an MBA anyway. >
Thx.


In this patch we initialize MBA resource and cache resources in separate functions rdtgroup_init_cat() and rdtgroup_init_mba(). If __init_one_rdt_domain() is only called by rdtgroup_init_cat(), how about using function name "__init_one_rdt_domain_cat()"?

Thank you.
