[PATCH v6 2/3] x86/resctrl: Implement rename op for mon groups

From: Peter Newman
Date: Wed Apr 19 2023 - 08:51:01 EST


To change the resources allocated to a large group of tasks, such as an
application container, a container manager must write all of the tasks'
IDs into the tasks file interface of the new control group. This is
challenging when the container's task list is always changing.

In addition, if the container manager is using monitoring groups to
separately track the bandwidth of containers assigned to the same
control group, when moving a container, it must first move the
container's tasks to the default monitoring group of the new control
group before it can move these tasks into the container's replacement
monitoring group under the destination control group. This is
undesirable because it makes bandwidth usage during the move
unattributable to the correct tasks and resets monitoring event counters
and cache usage information for the group.

Implement the rename operation only for resctrlfs monitor groups to
enable users to move a monitoring group from one control group to
another. This effects a change in resources allocated to all the tasks
in the monitoring group while otherwise leaving the monitoring data
intact.
