[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/resctrl: Implement rename op for mon groups

From: Peter Newman
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 07:03:40 EST


To change the class of service for a large group of tasks, such as an
application container, a container manager must write all of the tasks'
IDs into the tasks file interface of the new control group.

If a container manager is tracking containers' bandwidth usage by
placing tasks from each into their own monitoring group, it must first
move the tasks to the default monitoring group of the new control group
before it can move the tasks into their new monitoring groups. This is
undesirable because it makes bandwidth usage during the move
unattributable to the correct tasks and resets monitoring event counters
and cache usage information for the group.

To address this, implement the rename operation for resctrlfs mon groups
to effect a change in CLOSID for a MON group while otherwise leaving the
monitoring group intact.

It's important to note that this solution relies on the fact that Intel
and AMD hardware allow the RMID to be assigned independently of the
CLOSID. Without this, the operation may not be as useful.
