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)
+ Files: cpus, cpus_list, tasks
+
+ -> RFTYPE_CTRL (Files for CTRL group)
+ Files: mode, schemata, size
+
