Re: [PATCH v6 10/24] x86/resctrl: Allocate the cleanest CLOSID by searching closid_num_dirty_rmid

Hi James,

One more comment.

On 9/14/2023 12:21 PM, James Morse wrote:
MPAM's PMG bits extend its PARTID space, meaning the same PMG value can be
used for different control groups.

This means once a CLOSID is allocated, all its monitoring ids may still be
dirty, and held in limbo.

Instead of allocating the first free CLOSID, on architectures where
CONFIG_RESCTRL_RMID_DEPENDS_ON_COSID is enabled, search
closid_num_dirty_rmid[] to find the cleanest CLOSID.

The CLOSID found is returned to closid_alloc() for the free list
to be updated.

Naming "err" seems odd here.  How about cleanest_closid ?

Thanks
