[PATCH 2/2] x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Improve limbo list processing

From: Vikas Shivappa
Date: Tue Aug 15 2017 - 20:58:53 EST

During a mkdir, we synchronously check the entire limbo list on each
package for free RMIDs by sending IPIs and the worst case would end up
taking more than tolerable amount of time in IPIs. For ex: On SKL we
could end up reading all 192 RMIDs for llc_occupancy.

Modify this to make some improvements mainly avoiding the use of IPIs.
We use asynchronous worker threads on each package which would
periodically scan the limbo list and move the RMIDs that have:

llc_occupancy < threshold_occupancy

on all packages to free list. The mkdir would simply return -ENOSPC if the
limbo list is empty or would return -EBUSY if there are RMIDs on limbo
but not on free list. As a side effect of not accessing the limbo list
in parallel on IPIs we simplify some of the related data structures.
