We can. But because of auto assign is not enabled on mode switch, we still have to touch few steps. Your choice. Understood. The benefit here is that the patch will only change actual information. Specifically, changes like the two below that just updates the letter associated with the step: >>> -b. Check how many assignable counters are supported. >>> +c. Check how many assignable counters are supported. >>>   :: >>>       # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs >>>     0=32;1=32 and >>>   -c.

I just wanted to confirm that the values shown reasonably represents what a user may see. Reinette
