resctrl_io_alloc_closid_get() seems to be trying to do two things:
- determine what the io_alloc_closid is
- make sure the io_alloc_closid is supported

I think this should be split into two functions. Once the
io_alloc_closid is determined to be supported and io_alloc
enabled then there is no reason to keep checking if it is
supported whenever the io_alloc_closid is queried.

How about simplifying this to:

/*
  * note how this returns u32 that will eliminate
  * unnecessary error checking in usages where io_alloc_closid
  * needs to be determined after an resctrl_arch_get_io_alloc_enabled(r)
  * already confirmed io_alloc is enabled
  * function comment could note that this returns the CLOSID
  * required by io_alloc but not whether the CLOSID can
  * be supported, for this resctrl_io_alloc_closid_supported() should
  * be used.
  * Can also note that returned value will always be valid if
  * resctrl_arch_get_io_alloc_enabled(r) is true.
  */
u32 resctrl_io_alloc_closid(struct rdt_resource *r) {
	if (resctrl_arch_get_cdp_enabled(r->rid))
		return resctrl_arch_get_num_closid(r)/2  - 1
	else
		return resctrl_arch_get_num_closid(r) -1
}

/*
  * note how below already makes resctrl's io_alloc implementation
  * more generic
  */
resctrl_io_alloc_closid_supported(u32 io_alloc_closid) {
	return io_alloc_closid <  closids_supported()
}


Sure.
    Changed the check to

     return io_alloc_closid == (closids_supported() -1)


resctrl_io_alloc_closid_supported() is not intended to reflect what the
value is but just check if provided value is supported. By changing the
check to above resctrl_io_alloc_closid_supported() does two things again
(what the move to new functions aimed to avoid): checking that the CLOSID
is supported while requiring that it is the highest supported CLOSID.
What issue(s) do you see with using "io_alloc_closid <  closids_supported()"
as the check?

I don't see any issue. It should be fine. Will test and verify it.

thanks
Babu
