[PATCH v2 5/6] x86,fs/resctrl: Add resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_fixed()
From: Ben Horgan
Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 13:48:54 EST
Commit
3b497c3f4f04 ("fs/resctrl: Introduce the interface to display monitoring modes")
introduced CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED but left adding the Kconfig
entry until it was necessary. The counter assignment mode is fixed in
MPAM, even when there are assignable counters, and so addressing this
is needed to support MPAM.
To avoid the burden of another Kconfig entry, replace
CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED with a new arch hook,
resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_fixed().
To enable better user reporting check use the new check in
resctrl_mbm_assign_mode_write().
