Re: [PATCH v3 4/8] x86/resctrl: Add code to setup monitoring at L3 or NODE scope.

Hi Tony,

Regarding subject: "Add code" is not necessary.

This duplication of resource does not look right to me.
RDT_RESOURCE_NODE now contains the monitoring data for RDT_RESOURCE_L3
with related structures within RDT_RESOURCE_L3 going unused.

Need to return the enum here? It may be simpler for this helper to
just return a pointer to the resource. (Although the need for a
separate resource is still not clear to me.)

Since snc_ways is always used I think the comment should provide
more detail on the possible values it may have. For example, to
a reader it may not be obvious what the value of snc_ways should be
if SNC is disabled. Also, what does "ways" refer to? (Also mentioned
later).

This final hunk makes me wonder why the monitor.c:
mon_resource is necessary at all. A single helper used everywhere
may be simpler.
