Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Do not round up mba_MBps values in schemata file
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2024 15:30:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240927223038.41198-1-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)

When the mba_MBps mount option is used Linux initializes the
MBA control values in the schemata file to MBA_MAX_MBPS (which
is defined as U32_MAX). So the schemata file contains this line:

 MB:0=4294967295;1=4294967295

If a user edits the schemata file with vi(1) (or other editor) and
simply writes that line back, it gets changed to:

  MB:0=   4;1=   4

which sets maximum bandwidth to a very low value.

This happens because bw_validate() unconditionally rounds user supplied
values up to next multiple of r->membw.bw_gran. That results in a value
that will not fit into d->mbps_val[closid].

Rounding up only makes sense when mba_MBps is not enabled and control
values are expressed as percentage values.

Skip the roundup() when mba_MBps is enabled.
