[PATCH] arm_mpam: Restore the cached configuration when a write to an MSC fails
From: Jinjie Ruan
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 05:16:15 EST
mpam_apply_config() caches the new configuration before writing it to
the RISes. When mpam_touch_msc() fails, the cache keeps the new values,
so a retry with the same schemata is skipped as a no-op and never
reaches the hardware.
Restore the cached configuration on failure so the retry writes it to
the RISes again.
Only arm64 MPAM systems are affected; x86 does not support MPAM.
Fixes: 60e33a1864fd ("arm_mpam: propagate MSC access errors for mpam_reprogram_ris_partid()")
