[PATCH v5 0/2] x86/resctrl: Pass domain to target CPU

From: Tony Luck
Date: Fri Mar 08 2024 - 16:39:06 EST


reset_all_ctrls() and resctrl_arch_update_domains() use on_each_cpu_mask()
to call rdt_ctrl_update() on potentially one CPU from each domain.

But this means rdt_ctrl_update() needs to figure out which domain to
apply changes to. Doing so requires a search of all domains in a resource,
which can only be done safely if cpus_lock is held. Both callers do hold
this lock, but there isn't a way for a function called on another CPU
via IPI to verify this.

Commit c0d848fcb09d ("x86/resctrl: Remove lockdep annotation that triggers
false positive") removed the incorrect assertions.

Add the target domain to the msr_param structure and
call rdt_ctrl_update() for each domain separately using
smp_call_function_single(). This means that rdt_ctrl_update() doesn't
need to search for the domain and get_domain_from_cpu() can safely assert
that the cpus_lock is held since the remaining callers do not use IPI.

Changes since V4: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240228193717.8170-1-tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx/

Reinette: Only assign "cpu" once in resctrl_arch_update_domains() [but
see change from James below]

James: Use smp_call_function_any() instead of cpumask_any() +
smp_call_function_single() to avoid unnecessary IPI in both
resctrl_arch_update_domains() and reset_all_ctrls(). This
eliminates a need for the "cpu" local variable.
