These series adds support few minor features.
1. Support assigning multiple tasks to control/mon groups in one command.
2. Add debug mount option for resctrl interface.
3. Add RMID and CLOSID in resctrl interface when mounted with debug option.
4. While doing these above changes, found that rftype flags needed some cleanup.
They were named inconsistently. Re-arranged them much more cleanly now.
Hope it can help future additions.
---
v4: Changes since v3
Addressed comments from Reinette and others.
Removed newline requirement when adding tasks.
Dropped one of the changes on flags. Kept the flag names mostly same.
Changed the names of closid and rmid to ctrl_hw_id and mon_hw_id respectively.
James had some concerns about adding these files. But I thing it is big problem.
Please comment back if we can do better.
Tried to address Reinette's comment on patch 7. But due to current code design
I could not do it exact way. But changed it little bit to make it easy debug
file additions in the future.
v3: Changes since v2
Still waiting for more comments. While waiting, addressed few comments from Fenghua.
Added few more texts in the documentation about multiple tasks assignment feature.
Added pid in last_cmd_status when applicable.
Introduced static resctrl_debug to save the debug option.
Few minor text changes.
v2: Changes since v1
a. Removed the changes to add the task's threads automatically. It required
book keeping to handle the failures and gets complicated. Removed that change
for now.
b. Added -o debug option to mount in debug mode(comment from Fenghua)
c. Added debug files rmid and closid. Stephane wanted to rename them more
generic to accommodate ARM. It kind of loses meaning if is renamed differently.
Kept it same for now. Will change if he feels strong about it.

A second point I saw was a request for insight into why user space may need this (James recommended obfuscation when value is only shared between kernel interfaces). You did answer this in your response and since there was no follow-up I currently assume that this has been answered. Unless we hear otherwise from James I thus believe that his feedback is addressed. > Tried to address Reinette's comment on patch 7. But due to current code design > I could not do it exact way.

Reason is, adding the flags before rdtgroup_add_files cannot be done. It does not update the resctrl root filesystem. These files have to added by calling rdtgroup_add_file and kernfs_activate in rdt_enable_ctx. Thanks Babu

These files have to added by calling > rdtgroup_add_file and kernfs_activate in rdt_enable_ctx. I think what you are referring to is files not appearing in the default resource group? From what I can tell the files should appear when new resource groups are created. Could the default resource group's files not also be added on resctrl mount (moved from rdtgroup_setup_root() to rdt_get_tree())? I do not see why the files belonging to the default group are required to be added before resctrl mount and with the move the resctrl_debug flag can continue to be set in rdt_enable_ctx() and available to rdtgroup_add_files() when adding the default resource group's files. To me this sounds simpler since there is no duplicate file add/remove code, and the debug files are just another file type. Reinette

Yes. If it works then It will make code simple. Will try and let you know. Thanks Babu
