[PATCH v7 7/9] fs/resctrl: Do not invoke smp_processor_id() in preemptible context

From: Chen Yu

Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 02:13:45 EST


From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>

An event flagged with mon_evt::any_cpu is read directly in preemptible task
context instead of being dispatched to a CPU of the monitoring domain. Only
Intel AET events set this flag, so __mon_event_count() rejects an any_cpu L3
event with WARN_ON_ONCE(). The L3 read paths can therefore call
smp_processor_id() unconditionally to check that the current CPU belongs to the
domain being read.

MMIO-based LLC occupancy counters can be read from any CPU, so the L3 read
paths have to tolerate an any_cpu event. Move that check into a helper which
returns early for any_cpu events, avoiding smp_processor_id() in preemptible
context, and report a wrong CPU via rmid_read::err.
