Again. Please make the split of rdtgroup_cpus_write() as a seperate
preparatory change first and just move the guts of the existing write
function out into cpus_ctrl_write() and then add the mon_write stuff as an
extra patch.

*pr and *cr really suck.

The cpuask allocation and parsing of the user buffer can be done in the
common code. No point in duplicating that.

Common code.

This does not make any sense. The check above verifies that all cpus in
newmask belong to the parent->cpu_mask. If they don't then you return
-EINVAL, but here you give them back to parent->cpu_mask. How is that
supposed to work? You never get into this code path!

So you need a seperate mask in the parent rdtgroup to store the CPUs which
are valid in any monitoring group which belongs to it. So the logic
becomes:

/*
* Check whether the CPU mask is a subset of the CPUs
* which belong to the parent group.
*/
cpumask_andnot(tmpmask, newmask, parent->cpus_valid_mask);
if (cpumask_weight(tmpmask))
return -EINVAL;

When CAT is not available, then parent->cpus_valid_mask is a pointer to
cpu_online_mask. When CAT is enabled, then parent->cpus_valid_mask is a
pointer to the CAT group cpu mask.

llist is a bad name. We have a facility llist, i.e. lockless list. head ?

That's equally wrong. See above.
