[PATCH 15/23] arm_mpam: Refine L3 topology and class selection
From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 17:09:08 EST
After enabling memory-level MSCs, the existing class-picking heuristics
still treat every candidate like an L3 cache MSC. That rejects valid
memory classes for MBWU counters and applies L3 egress checks to MBA
classes on CPU-less or system-wide affinities, leaving no monitor or
control class selected on affected platforms.
Adjust the heuristics so memory classes can back MBWU directly, L3
topology matching is only required for level-3 MBA candidates, and
traffic matching is skipped when the class already spans all CPUs.
Also tolerate components with no online CPUs once at least one
component has matched.
