I have a hard time to figure out how the latter two constants are related
to this list of registers. MBA_IS_LINEAR is used to check the CPUID bit and
MAX_MBA_THRTL is obviously a pure software constant because with a
non-linear scale the maximum value is not 100.

Just slapping defines to random places is equally bad as using hard coded
constants.

... calibrated so the user can express the bandwidth as a percentage value.

What's the point of setting this to NULL?

Also it would be helpful to emit log info here so people don't have to
start digging around.

        pr_info("Bandwidth map not implemented for ....", ... model);

Returning -ENODEV to a function which just returns a boolean value is
pointless.

Groan. When rdt_get_mem_config() returns false (because the map is not
implemented), then the whole function returns false and CAT is disabled.

So if you use a local pointer for that, this whole mess becomes readable.

static int domain_setup_ctrlval(struct rdt_resource *r, struct rdt_domain *d)
{
        u32 *p;
        int i;

        p = kmalloc_array(r->num_closid, sizeof(*d->ctrl_val), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!p)
                return -ENOMEM;

        d->ctrl_val = p;

        /* Initialize the Control MSRs to the default value */
        for (i = 0; i < r->num_closid; i++, p++) {
                int idx = cbm_idx(r, i);

                *p = r->default_ctrl;
                wrmsrl(r->msr_base + idx, *p);
        }

Bah. If you have the same type in one line, then please move the
uninitialized variables to the front.

        int ret, id = get_cache_id(cpu, r->cache_level);

But a s/i/ret/ would have been to simple and kept the code readable.

What's the point of this 'ret' variable if the function is void?

        if (domain_setup_ctrlval(r, d)) {
                kfree(d);
                return;
        }

would have been to easy to read, right?

Thanks,
