Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: x86: Clarify MBA takes MB as referring to mba_sc
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2019 16:14:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190607151409.15476-4-james.morse@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190607151409.15476-1-james.morse@arm.com>
"If the MBA is specified in MB then user can enter the max b/w in MB"
is a tautology. How can the user know if the schemata takes a percentage
or a MB/s value?
This is referring to whether the software controller is interpreting
the schemata's value. Make this clear.
