Subject: [PATCH v13 04/10] x86/resctrl: Add comments on RFTYPE flags hierarchy
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2023 15:25:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231013202602.2492645-5-babu.moger@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231013202602.2492645-1-babu.moger@amd.com>

resctrl uses RFTYPE flags for creating resctrl directory structure.

Definitions and directory structures are not documented. Add
comments to improve the readability and help future additions.

Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@amd.com>

v13: Fixed the format issues in the documentation. Needed few minor format
     changes to address the syntax issues.(Reinette)
     Removed "Reviewed-by and Tested-by" flags as the patch has changed.

v12: Moved the comments from arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/internal.h
     to Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst. (Boris)

+RESCTRL filesystem implementation notes
+=======================================
+RESCTRL filesystem has two main components
+	a. info
+	b. base
+
+	/sys/fs/resctrl/
+	|
+	-> info
+	|
+	|  (Top level directory named "info". Contains files that
+	|   provide details on control and monitoring resources")
+	|
+	-> base
+
+	   (Root directory associated with default resource group as
+	    well as directories created by user for MON and CTRL groups.
+	    Contains files to interact with MON and CTRL groups)
+
+	Note: resctrl uses flags for files, not for directories.
+	      Directories are created based on the resource type. Added
+	      directories below for better understanding. The RFTYPE flags
+	      are defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/internal.h.
+
+	info directory structure
+
+	-> RFTYPE_INFO
+	   Directory: info
+
+	-> RFTYPE_TOP (Files in top level of info directory)
+	   File: last_cmd_status
+
+	-> RFTYPE_MON (Files for all monitoring resources)
+	   Directory: L3_MON
+	       Files: mon_features, num_rmids
+
+		-> RFTYPE_RES_CACHE (Files for cache monitoring resources)
+		   Directory: L3_MON
+		       Files: max_threshold_occupancy,
+		              mbm_total_bytes_config,
+		              mbm_local_bytes_config
+
+	-> RFTYPE_CTRL (Files for all control resources)
+	   Directories: L2, L3, MB, SMBA, L2CODE, L2DATA, L3CODE, L3DATA
+	          File: num_closids
+
+		-> RFTYPE_RES_CACHE (Files for cache control resources)
+		   Directories: L2, L3, L2CODE, L2DATA, L3CODE, L3DATA
+		         Files: bit_usage, cbm_mask, min_cbm_bits,
+		                 shareable_bits
+
+		-> RFTYPE_RES_MB (Files for memory control resources)
+		   Directories: MB, SMBA
+		         Files: bandwidth_gran, delay_linear,
+		                 min_bandwidth, thread_throttle_mode
+
+	base directory structure
+
+	-> RFTYPE_BASE (Files common for both MON and CTRL groups)
