[PATCH V4 19/38] x86/intel_rdt: Add utility to restrict/restore access to resctrl files

From: Reinette Chatre
Date: Tue May 22 2018 - 14:48:42 EST


When a resource group is used for Cache Pseudo-Locking then the region
of cache ends up being orphaned with no class of service referring to
it. The resctrl files intended to manage how the classes of services are
utilized thus become irrelevant.

The fact that a resctrl file is not relevant can be communicated to the
user by setting all of its permissions to zero. That is, its read,
write, and execute permissions are unset for all users.

Introduce two utilities, rdtgroup_kn_mode_restrict() and
rdtgroup_kn_mode_restore(), that can be used to restrict and restore
the permissions of a file or directory belonging to a resource group.
