Hmm, zapping this one. First, there's an unused variable warning:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/202012100516.H7sTNehL-lkp@xxxxxxxxx

and you should remove the chunks assignment too.

And then it didn't apply cleanly:

$ test-apply.sh /tmp/xiaochen.01 
checking file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/monitor.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 279.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 514 (offset 64 lines).
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED

I wiggled it in but it ended up removing the wrong chunks inc line -
not the one in mbm_bw_count() but in __mon_event_count() - which I just
realized.

So please redo this patch against:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=x86/cache

Thx.
