[PATCH] x86/resctrl: Do not round up mba_MBps values in schemata file

From: Tony Luck
Date: Fri Sep 27 2024 - 18:30:54 EST


When the mba_MBps mount option is used Linux initializes the
MBA control values in the schemata file to MBA_MAX_MBPS (which
is defined as U32_MAX). So the schemata file contains this line:

MB:0=4294967295;1=4294967295

If a user edits the schemata file with vi(1) (or other editor) and
simply writes that line back, it gets changed to:

MB:0= 4;1= 4

which sets maximum bandwidth to a very low value.

This happens because bw_validate() unconditionally rounds user supplied
values up to next multiple of r->membw.bw_gran. That results in a value
that will not fit into d->mbps_val[closid].

Rounding up only makes sense when mba_MBps is not enabled and control
values are expressed as percentage values.

Skip the roundup() when mba_MBps is enabled.
