Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 12/15] Documentation: resctrl: document mbm_NODE_assignments
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 13:24:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109212427.1409204-13-fenghuay@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109212427.1409204-1-fenghuay@nvidia.com>

MBM counter assignment uses mbm_NODE_assignments when the counters are
backed by a NUMA-node MSC. An L3-cache MSC keeps mbm_L3_assignments.
Document both files.
