The resctrl_arch_set_cdp_enabled() is never invoked with RDT_RESOURCE_MBA
as the rid parameter. Consequently,
mpam_resctrl_controls[RDT_RESOURCE_MBA].cdp_enabled always remains false,
making it unreliable for conditional checks.
The original logic uses this field to determine MBA state, causing a bug
where MBA allocation is permanently disabled after the mount with CDP
option. Remounting without CDP cannot restore the MBA partition capability.
Fix by using the cdp_enabled global parameter directly. Enable MBA
partition only when CDP is disabled and the MBA resource class is
present. Disable MBA partition otherwise.
Fixes: 6789fb99282c ("arm_mpam: resctrl: Add CDP emulation")

(as Zeng's commit message describes). I've spoken to Ben - and the intent here is a bit more complicated... if resctrl does start calling: | resctrl_arch_set_cdp_enabled(RDT_RESOURCE_MBA, true) then we expect to receive two configurations, one for code and one for data, so the aliasing controls problem goes away. The above original code is re-enabling MBA in this case. It needs to ignore the global 'cdp_enabled' to be immune to the order of resctrl_arch_set_cdp_enabled() calls. While this might seem odd, as resctrl doesn't do this today - it is a valid enum value, and this is in the woolly "are we Xeon shaped" area. I think long term we need a list of non-aliasing controls (min and max etc) which need disabling when CDP enabled. But re-enabling them when called explicitly makes sense as we have to handle those enum value anyway. > Isn't it more that the existing checks are correct (if not totally necessary) and guard against > resctrl_arch_set_cdp_enabled() being called with RDT_RESOURCE_MBA but that re-enable on unmount is missing? > Does just adding this check make sense?
