[PATCH v13 14/25] arm,x86,fs/resctrl: Use right size for L3 monitor data structures

From: Tony Luck

Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 18:21:06 EST


The number of RMIDs available for use is computed as the minimum value across
all enabled monitoring resources. This value does not currently change from
one mount to the next. But when changes are made to allow configuration
of the pmt_telemetry driver as a module the Application Energy Telemetry
events will only be enabled if the module is loaded at the point when the
file system is mounted. This may result in the available number of RMIDs
changing from one mount to the next.

The RDT_RESOURCE_L3 allocates some data structures sized by the
number of RMIDs:
* rdt_l3_mon_domain::rmid_busy_llc is a bitmap tracking which RMIDs
have active L3 cache occupancy counts.
* rdt_l3_mon_domain::mbm_states[] tracks memory bandwidth for the
"mba_MBps" software controller.
* rdt_hw_l3_mon_domain::arch_mbm_states[] keeps total count of memory
traffic (handling overflow of hardware counters).

These structures must be allocated and manipulated based on the number
of RMIDs supported by the L3 (this will not change from mount to mount).

The limbo code must be prepared to deal with changes in the number of RMIDs
from one mount to the next because some RMIDs may still be "busy" when the
file system is unmounted, but be above resctrl_arch_system_num_rmid_idx()
for the remount. In this case RMIDs that can be released are not put onto
the rmid_free_lru list.

Use the L3 rdt_resource::mon.num_rmid to allocate and operate on these
data structures.
