Subject: [PATCH v10 11/12] x86/resctrl: Add the ERDT CMT scale
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 18:09:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <051539a40e662d6cf0a9f0fd35204f23571137da.1793864720.git.yu.c.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793864720.git.yu.c.chen@intel.com>
The limbo handler polls the LLC occupancy of limbo RMIDs and makes an RMID
available for reuse once its occupancy drops below
resctrl_rmid_realloc_threshold. User space sets this threshold in bytes by
writing to the "max_threshold_occupancy" file. The occupancy counter only has
the granularity of its scale, the number of bytes one counter unit represents,
so resctrl_arch_round_mon_val() rounds the written byte value down to a multiple
of that scale before it is stored in resctrl_rmid_realloc_threshold.
resctrl_arch_round_mon_val() uses the CPUID-provided scale. LLC occupancy read
via ERDT is instead scaled by the CMRC up_scale of each ERDT domain.
resctrl_rmid_realloc_threshold is a single global value, so one scale has to be
derived from the per-domain values.
Add erdt_cmt_scale to hold the largest CMRC up_scale among all ERDT domains. Use
the largest because rounding is a floor: a larger scale yields a slightly lower
threshold, i.e. an RMID has to drop to a slightly lower occupancy before it is
reused.

Changes since v9:
- New patch, replacing v9 "x86/resctrl: Add a global ERDT monitor scale".
Place it after the CMRC parsing and erdt_cpu_has() patches so that the
scale is added in one coherent change instead of as a placeholder that
stays 0 until the last patch. (Reinette Chatre)
- Rename erdt_scale/erdt_get_scale() to erdt_cmt_scale and
erdt_get_cmt_scale() so that the names say this is the CMT scale and
not a global monitor scale. Move the erdt_cpu_has() check from the
last patch into erdt_get_cmt_scale(). (Reinette Chatre)
- Compute erdt_cmt_scale from the CMRC up_scale of each RMDD that is
accepted (moved here from the last patch), and reset it in
erdt_exit(). (Reinette Chatre)
- Squash in the fix for the stale "h/w works in units of
boot_cpu_data.x86_cache_occ_scale" comment from the last patch.
(Reinette Chatre)
- Changelog: say "limbo RMIDs" instead of "stale RMIDs", distinguish the
"max_threshold_occupancy" file from the resctrl_rmid_realloc_threshold
variable, and state that the threshold is in bytes. (Reinette Chatre)
