[PATCH v9 2/9] x86/resctrl: Prepare for per-ctrl_mon group mba_MBps control
Posted by Tony Luck 1 week, 2 days ago
Resctrl uses local memory bandwidth event as input to the feedback
loop when the mba_MBps mount option is used. This means that this
mount option cannot be used on systems that only support monitoring
of total bandwidth.

Prepare to allow users to choose the input event independently for
each ctrl_mon group.

The lack of detail on design and implementation leaves a lot for the
reader to decipher. For example,
* the change appears to create a contract that rdtgroup.mba_mbps_event
  is only valid if mba_sc is enabled, this is "documented" in the
  structure member comment but not connected to the rest of implementation, not
  here nor later in series.
* the patch uses *three* different checks to manage new variables:
  is_mbm_local_enabled(), is_mba_sc(), and supports_mba_mbps(). Reader is
  left to decipher that all checks are built on is_mbm_local_enabled()
  and thus it is ok to use these checks before using the value that is only
  assigned when is_mbm_local_enabled().
* clearly mba_mbps_default_event cannot always have a value making reader wonder
  if enum resctrl_event_id needs a "0", takes some deciphering to get confidence
  that its assignment when is_mbm_local_enabled() fits under the contract
  that values are only value when is_mba_sc() and thus any code following contract by
  first checking for mba_sc should never encounter a 0.
* based on premise of this work reader may consider what happens if
  system does not support local MBM. more deciphering needed to get confidence
  that while mba_mbps_default_event will not be set, since is_mba_sc() still
  depends on local MBM this still fits under contract that mba_mbps_default_event
  cannot be used in this case.

Of course, it may just me that needs more help to understand what a patch is doing 
while having little insight into what it intends to do. I thought by sharing some of
the questions I felt needed to investigated may give some insight into the difficulty
a cryptic changelog creates. Review could be helped significantly if the changelog
provides insight into the design decisions.

I do not see the default resource group's mba_mbps_event ever being reset. This means
that if the user mounts resctrl, changes mba_mbps_event, umount resctrl, remount
resctrl, then the default resource group will not have the default mba_mbps_event
but whatever was set on previous mount. Is this intended? No mention of this behavior in
changelog.

I'll add text documenting this to the commit comment here, and also a
comment in the code that defines mba_mbps_default_event.

With some refactoring I've got that down to just one new additon of
"is_mba_sc()" (protecting the assignment of rdtgrp->mba_mbps_event
in rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Documented that mba_mbps_default_event remaining "0" is not an issue in
the comment at the definition of mba_mbps_default_event.

I think I've cleared up this mystery with commit and code comments.

Good point. I've also re-worked the cover letter to provide more
information on the problem and solution implemented by this series.

Good catch. You are correct that a changed event value in the default
CTRL_MON group is preserved across unmount/remount. This was not
intentional. Moving the initialization of rdtgroup_default.mba_mbps_event
into set_mba_sc() fixes this (with the added benefit of removing the
supports_mba_mbps() check).

Just to clarify, I am not stating that there should not be three different checks. Clearly
if some initialization is done before resctrl mount then the mba_sc checks may not apply.
My goal was to highlight the investigations a reader is forced to do without
guidance from the changelog.

I am curious how this will turn out considering the fragmentation of the rdtgroup_default
initialization.

How about this?

Provide users with the ability to select the input event independently 
for each ctrl_mon group.

Any reason to separate this patch and patch 8?  I feel it can be combined.

That's a description for the series as a whole. This patch doesn't
do all the things in that sentence.

> Any reason to separate this patch and patch 8?  I feel it can be combined.

patch 8 will set mba_mbps_default_event to QOS_L3_MBM_TOTAL_EVENT_ID
on systems witout support for local memory bandwidth monitoring.

The rest of the code isn't ready for that until midway through this
series when other code has been updated to handle total bandwidth
correctly.

I may have gone to extremes moving that part out all the way to patch
8. It could potentially happen earlier in the series.
