[PATCH] x86/resctrl: avoid divide by 0 num_rmid

From: Barret Rhoden
Date: Mon Jul 21 2025 - 14:01:20 EST


x86_cache_max_rmid's default is -1. If the hardware or VM doesn't set
the right cpuid bits, num_rmid can be 0.

I ran into this on a VM on granite rapids. I guess the VMM told the
kernel it was a GNR, but didn't set all the cache/rsctl bits.
