Re: [PATCH v8 17/21] x86,fs/resctrl: Move the resctrl filesystem code to live in /fs/resctrl

Hi, James,

On 4/11/25 09:42, James Morse wrote:
Resctrl is a filesystem interface to hardware that provides cache
allocation policy and bandwidth control for groups of tasks or CPUs.

To support more than one architecture, resctrl needs to live in /fs/.

Move the code that is concerned with the filesystem interface to
/fs/resctrl.

If applying patch 1-17, building the kernel reports this error, which will cause bisect failure:

  CC      fs/resctrl/pseudo_lock.o
In file included from fs/resctrl/pseudo_lock_trace.h:17,
                 from fs/resctrl/pseudo_lock.c:35:
./include/trace/define_trace.h:110:42: fatal error: ./pseudo_lock_trace.h: No such file or directory

      |                                          ^
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:203: fs/resctrl/pseudo_lock.o] Error 1

Again combining patch 18 with this patch together makes the error go away.

But you said combining them together may cause the conversion python tool complex: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/97aeaf87-b2db-4efb-9d81-43769c6f27b0@xxxxxxx/

Is there a better way to resolve this error? Maybe update the tool not to generate or include fs/resctrl/pseudo_lock_trace.h at all?

Thanks.
