Hi Reinette,
Thanks for looking at this.

Okay. Just curious, if changing like this, will it be moved to resctrl/info/L3/size or
resctrl/info/size?

I might understand incorrectly, but in this way, the size in resctrl top
dir will display all the domain ranges within all the resources, say, the
size for MB, L3 will be displayed in one file, right? Will the 'size' be
displayed under each resource dir in info dir?

This patch works.

I'm using SKYLAKE-X, of cpu stepping 4, so l3cat might be disabled
due to errorta.

BTW, may I know the scope of CBM? It seems that in this patch all
the other resource than MBA could leverage CBM to calculate their
resource size. What if other resources are added in the future?

Best,
Yu
