Here’s my understanding of the discussion from this thread:


We plan to support the following operation:

   #echo "*=value" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3/io_alloc_cbm

Looks like we are going with the above approach where "*" represents all the
domain.

Couple of things to consider.

a. Send a separate patch to add this feature after [1] is merged.

b. Add this change as part of [1] series in patch 9. The series is mostly
ready for merge. I can add the changes. Only concern is, it will might delay
the series merge little bit.  My expectation is to have this series ready
for next merge window.

Any thoughts?

Hi Babu, Tony, Reinette,

I believe the most prudent course of action would be to hold off on this
particular change until the main series has been merged.

As I was the one who specifically requested this supporting functionality,
I would be happy to prepare and submit the follow-up patch for this detail
myself.

Sounds good. I will go ahead with the current series. You can send the patch(s) after series is merged.

Thanks
Babu
