[PATCH v14 11/24] fs/resctrl: Add interface to disable a monitor event

From: Tony Luck

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 16:52:29 EST


resctrl assumes that every monitor event is enabled before any domain is
created, since domains are created from CPU hotplug callbacks and their
per-domain state depends on the events enabled at that time. Events, once
enabled, stay enabled.

resctrl enumerates Application Energy Telemetry (AET) events from data provided
by the pmt_telemetry driver, which currently must be built in. Allowing the
driver to be a loadable module means AET events must be enumerated on every
mount and disabled again on unmount, so the driver can be unloaded while
resctrl is not mounted. There is no way to disable an event.

Add resctrl_disable_mon_event(). The architecture owns domain lifetime, so
it is responsible for calling this only while resctrl is unmounted and for
cleaning up any per-domain state. These requirements are not enforced in
code, so document them in kerneldoc, alongside the matching requirements
for enabling an event.
