I am thinking loud here.
When a new monitor group is created, new RMID is assigned. This is done by
alloc_rmid. It does not know about the rmid_offset details. This will
allocate the one of the free RMIDs.

When CPUs are assigned to the group, then per cpu pqr_state is updated.
At that point, this RMID becomes default_rmid for that cpu.

But CPUs can be assigned from two different Sub-NUMA nodes.

Considering same example you mentioned.

E.g. in 2-way Sub-NUMA cluster with 200 RMID counters there are only
100 available counters to the resctrl code. When running on the first
SNC node RMID values 0..99 are used as before. But when running on the
second node, a task that is assigned resctrl rmid=10 must load 10+100
into IA32_PQR_ASSOC to use RMID counter 110.

#mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/
#cd /sys/fs/resctrl/
#mkdir test (Lets say RMID 1 is allocated)
#cd test
#echo 1 > cpus_list
#echo 101 > cpus_list

In this case, the following code may run on two different RMIDs even
though it was intended to run on same RMID.

wrmsr(MSR_IA32_QM_EVTSEL, eventid, rmid + this_cpu_read(rmid_offset));

Have you thought of this problem?

Thanks
Babu
