Again. Please make the split of rdtgroup_cpus_write() as a seperate preparatory change first and just move the guts of the existing write function out into cpus_ctrl_write() and then add the mon_write stuff as an extra patch. > { > + struct rdtgroup *pr = rdtgrp->parent, *cr; *pr and *cr really suck. > cpumask_var_t tmpmask, newmask; > - struct rdtgroup *rdtgrp, *r; > + struct list_head *llist; > int ret; > > - if (!buf) > - return -EINVAL; > - > if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&tmpmask, GFP_KERNEL)) > return -ENOMEM; > if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&newmask, GFP_KERNEL)) { > @@ -233,10 +235,89 @@ static ssize_t rdtgroup_cpus_write(struct > kernfs_open_file *of, > return -ENOMEM; > } > > - rdtgrp = rdtgroup_kn_lock_live(of->kn); > - if (!rdtgrp) { > - ret = -ENOENT; > - goto unlock; > + if (is_cpu_list(of)) > + ret = cpulist_parse(buf, newmask); > + else > + ret = cpumask_parse(buf, newmask); The cpuask allocation and parsing of the user buffer can be done in the common code.

The check above verifies that all cpus in newmask belong to the parent->cpu_mask. If they don't then you return -EINVAL, but here you give them back to parent->cpu_mask. How is that supposed to work? You never get into this code path! So you need a seperate mask in the parent rdtgroup to store the CPUs which are valid in any monitoring group which belongs to it. So the logic becomes: /* * Check whether the CPU mask is a subset of the CPUs * which belong to the parent group. */ cpumask_andnot(tmpmask, newmask, parent->cpus_valid_mask); if (cpumask_weight(tmpmask)) return -EINVAL; When CAT is not available, then parent->cpus_valid_mask is a pointer to cpu_online_mask. When CAT is enabled, then parent->cpus_valid_mask is a pointer to the CAT group cpu mask. > + update_closid_rmid(tmpmask, pr); > + } > + > + /* > + * If we added cpus, remove them from previous group that owned them > + * and update per-cpu rmid > + */ > + cpumask_andnot(tmpmask, newmask, &rdtgrp->cpu_mask); > + if (cpumask_weight(tmpmask)) { > + llist = &pr->crdtgrp_list; llist is a bad name.

See above. Thanks, tglx
