I was thinking about a problematic scenario where an application attempts to create infinite directories. All of these uninitialized directories need to be kept track of before they are initialized as pseudo-locked regions. It seemed simpler to require that one pseudo-locked region is set up at a time. >> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.cha...@intel.com> >> --- >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt.h | 3 + >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c | 220 >> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- >> 2 files changed, 222 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt.h >> b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt.h >> index 8f5ded384e19..55f085985072 100644 >> --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt.h >> +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt.h >> @@ -352,6 +352,7 @@ extern struct mutex rdtgroup_mutex; >> extern struct rdt_resource rdt_resources_all[]; >> extern struct rdtgroup rdtgroup_default; >> DECLARE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(rdt_alloc_enable_key); >> +extern struct kernfs_node *pseudo_lock_kn; >> >> int __init rdtgroup_init(void); >> >> @@ -457,5 +458,7 @@ bool has_busy_rmid(struct rdt_resource *r, struct >> rdt_domain *d); >> void __check_limbo(struct rdt_domain *d, bool force_free); >> int rdt_pseudo_lock_fs_init(struct kernfs_node *root); >> void rdt_pseudo_lock_fs_remove(void); >> +int rdt_pseudo_lock_mkdir(const char *name, umode_t mode); >> +int rdt_pseudo_lock_rmdir(struct kernfs_node *kn); >> >> #endif /* _ASM_X86_INTEL_RDT_H */ >> diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c >> b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c >> index a787a103c432..7a22e367b82f 100644 >> --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c >> +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c >> @@ -20,11 +20,142 @@ >> #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt >> >> #include <linux/kernfs.h> >> +#include <linux/kref.h> >> #include <linux/seq_file.h> >> #include <linux/stat.h> >> +#include <linux/slab.h> >> #include "intel_rdt.h" >> >> -static struct kernfs_node *pseudo_lock_kn; >> +struct kernfs_node *pseudo_lock_kn; >> + >> +/* >> + * Protect the pseudo_lock_region access.

It is. The life cycle of the uninitialized pseudo-locked region is managed with this pointer though. The initialized pseudo-locked regions are managed through their pointers within struct rdt_domain to which they belong. The uninitialized pseudo-locked region is tracked here until moved to the cache domain to which it belongs. >> +static void __pseudo_lock_region_release(struct pseudo_lock_region *plr) >> +{ >> + bool is_new_plr = (plr == new_plr); >> + >> + WARN_ON(!plr->deleted); >> + if (!plr->deleted) >> + return; > > if (WARN_ON(...)) > return; > Will fix. >> + >> + kfree(plr); >> + if (is_new_plr) >> + new_plr = NULL; >> +} >> + >> +static void pseudo_lock_region_release(struct kref *ref) >> +{ >> + struct pseudo_lock_region *plr = container_of(ref, >> + struct pseudo_lock_region, >> + refcount); > > You simply can avoid those line breaks by: > > struct pseudo_lock_region *plr; > > plr = container_of(ref, struct pseudo_lock_region, refcount); > > Hmm? > Absolutely.

Some interactions with the pseudo-locked region are currently done without the need for the rdtgroup_mutex. For example, interaction with the character device associated with the pseudo-locked region (the mmap() call) as well as the debugfs operations. Reinette
