If I read 0/n its _after_ I've read all the other patches. The thing is, 0/n should not contain anything persistent. Patches should stand on their own. > explained that RDT is the umbrella term and CAT is a part of it and this > patch series is only for CAT ...

We're implementing Cache QoS Enforcement (CQE aka. CAT). Why confuse things with calling it random other names? >From what I understand the whole RDT thing is the umbrella term for Cache QoS Monitoring and Enforcement together. CQM is implemented elsewhere, this part is only implementing CQE. So just call it that, calling it RDT is actively misleading, because it explicitly does _NOT_ do the monitoring half of it. > If its just your disliking the term thats already known. I think its crazy to go CQE no CAT no RDT, but I could get over that in time. But now it turns out you need _both_, and that's even more silly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
