Above notes that "simplification" is the primary motivation but I do not think this change qualifies as a "simplification". How about second paragraph changed to something like: The io_alloc feature also uses CBMs to indicate which portions of cache are allocated for I/O traffic. The CBMs are provided by user space and need to be validated the same as CBMs provided for general (CPU) cache allocation. parse_cbm() cannot be used as-is since io_alloc does not have rdtgroup context. Pass the mode and CLOSID directly to parse_cbm() via struct rdt_parse_data instead of through the rdtgroup struct to facilitate calling parse_cbm() to verify the CBM of the io_alloc feature.

This looks to be a change needed by following patch but is another change that becomes unnecessary if the io_alloc code, specifically resctrl_io_alloc_cbm_write() and resctrl_io_alloc_parse_line() from next patch, are moved to ctrlmondata.c. ... > @@ -171,7 +167,7 @@ static int parse_cbm(struct rdt_parse_data *data, struct resctrl_schema *s, > * Cannot set up more than one pseudo-locked region in a cache > * hierarchy. > */ > - if (rdtgrp->mode == RDT_MODE_PSEUDO_LOCKSETUP && > + if (mode == RDT_MODE_PSEUDO_LOCKSETUP && > rdtgroup_pseudo_locked_in_hierarchy(d)) { > rdt_last_cmd_puts("Pseudo-locked region in hierarchy\n"); > return -EINVAL; > @@ -180,9 +176,9 @@ static int parse_cbm(struct rdt_parse_data *data, struct resctrl_schema *s, > if (!cbm_validate(data->buf, &cbm_val, r)) > return -EINVAL; > > - if ((rdtgrp->mode == RDT_MODE_EXCLUSIVE || > - rdtgrp->mode == RDT_MODE_SHAREABLE) && > - rdtgroup_cbm_overlaps_pseudo_locked(d, cbm_val)) { > + if ((mode == RDT_MODE_EXCLUSIVE || > + mode == RDT_MODE_SHAREABLE) && > + rdtgroup_cbm_overlaps_pseudo_locked(d, cbm_val)) { Please fix alignment. > rdt_last_cmd_puts("CBM overlaps with pseudo-locked region\n"); > return -EINVAL; > } Reinette
