Subject: [PATCH v7 14/19] fs/resctrl: Deactivate kernel mode when the group is removed
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:44:07 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6fd68005ba028de370e1bb68058823dab1a42867.1794437052.git.babu.moger@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1794437052.git.babu.moger@amd.com>
The RESCTRL_GLOBAL_ENABLE_PER_CPU allows CPUs to use different CLOSID
and/or RMID association when transitioning from user mode to kernel mode.
When active, the mode is enabled or disabled on a per-CPU basis as part a
backing resource group.
When the backing group is removed, the configured kernel mode settings are
no longer valid. Deactivate the kernel mode and restore it to
RESCTRL_INHERIT_USER, the default mode in which kernel work inherits the
user task's CLOSID and/or RMID.

v7: Removed rdtgroup_kmode_global_detach() and merged everything to
rdtgroup_kmode_global_deactivate().
Removed detach from rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl().
Updated the changelog and code comments.
v6: Rewrite changelog (not a bugfix).
Shorten the code comments.
v5: Took care of couple of Sashiko comments on previous patch.
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/cover.1783461016.git.babu.moger@amd.com?part=10
Re-wrote the changelog.
Renamed rdtgroup_config_kmode_reset() to rdtgroup_kmode_deactivate().
v4: Re-wrote the changelog.
Added the call free_all_child_rdtgrp() and rmdir_all_sub()
Simplified the code comments.
v3: New patch to handle the kernel_mode clean up.
