[PATCH v6 2/2] fs/resctrl: Add "*" shorthand to set io_alloc CBM for all domains
From: Aaron Tomlin
Date: Tue Mar 24 2026 - 20:13:10 EST
Configuring the io_alloc_cbm interface requires an explicit domain ID
for each cache domain. On systems with high core counts and numerous
cache clusters, this requirement becomes cumbersome for automation and
management tasks that aim to apply a uniform policy.
Introduce a wildcard domain ID selector "*" for the io_alloc_cbm
interface. This enables users to set the same Capacity Bitmask (CBM)
across all cache domains in a single operation.

+ An ID of "*" configures all domains with the provided CBM.
+
+ Example on a system that does not require a minimum number of consecutive bits in the mask::

+ # echo "*=0" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3/io_alloc_cbm

When CDP is enabled "io_alloc_cbm" associated with the CDP_DATA and CDP_CODE
resources may reflect the same values. For example, values read from and
written to /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3DATA/io_alloc_cbm may be reflected by
