[PATCH v14 13/24] arm,x86,fs/resctrl: Use right size for L3 monitor data structures
From: Tony Luck
Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 16:55:08 EST
On x86 the number of RMIDs available for use is the smallest number of RMIDs
supported by any resource that supports monitoring.
Each L3 monitoring domain has structures with one entry per RMID index,
allocated when the domain comes online and kept across mounts of the resctrl
file system:
* the bitmap of RMIDs in limbo with L3 occupancy above the threshold,
* the per-event state used by the "mba_MBps" software controller to compute
bandwidth,
* on x86, the per-event state that accumulates MBM counts across hardware
counter overflow.
The resctrl file system sizes and walks the first two using the number of
RMIDs available for use. x86 already sizes the third by the number of RMIDs
supported by L3 monitoring.
The number of RMIDs available for use does not currently change between
mounts because Application Energy Telemetry (AET) is enumerated only once. In
preparation for building the pmt_telemetry driver as a module, AET will be
enumerated on every mount, and its events will be available only when the
driver is loaded at that time. The number of RMIDs available for use can
then change between mounts while the L3 domain structures stay allocated. A
domain that comes online while the number is small would be too small for a
later mount. RMIDs that are still in limbo at unmount may also be beyond the
number of RMIDs available for the next mount.
Add resctrl_arch_get_num_rmid_idx() for the architecture to report the
number of RMID indexes a resource supports, which does not change between
mounts. On x86 this is the number of RMIDs supported by L3 monitoring. MPAM
keeps reporting the system-wide number. Use it to size and walk the L3
domain structures.
Keep checking every RMID supported by L3 for limbo. Do not return an RMID
to the free list when it is beyond the number of RMIDs available for the
current mount.
