[PATCH v16 31/34] fs/resctrl: Disable BMEC event configuration when mbm_event mode is enabled

From: Babu Moger
Date: Fri Jul 25 2025 - 14:37:49 EST


The BMEC (Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration) feature enables
per-domain event configuration. With BMEC the MBM events are configured
using the mbm_total_bytes_config or mbm_local_bytes_config files in
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/ and the per-domain event configuration affects
all monitor resource groups.

The mbm_event counter assignment mode enables counters to be assigned to
RMID (i.e a monitor resource group), event pairs, with potentially unique
event configurations associated with every counter.

There may be systems that support both BMEC and mbm_event counter
assignment mode, but resctrl supporting both concurrently will present a
conflicting interface to the user with both per-domain and per RMID, event
configurations active at the same time.

The mbm_event counter assignment provides most flexibility to user space
and aligns with Arm's counter support. On systems that support both,
disable BMEC event configuration when mbm_event mode is enabled by hiding
the mbm_total_bytes_config or mbm_local_bytes_config files when mbm_event
mode is enabled. Ensure mon_features always displays accurate information
about monitor features.

v16: Added new comment in resctrl_bmec_files_show() about kernfs_find_and_get failure.
Added the parameter to resctrl_bmec_files_show() to pass the kernfs_node.

v15: Updated the changelog.
Moved resctrl_bmec_files_show() inside rdtgroup_mkdir_info_resdir().
Removed the unnecessary kernfs_get() call.

v14: Updated the changelog for change in mbm_assign_modes.
Added check in rdt_mon_features_show to hide bmec related feature.

v13: New patch to hide BMEC related files.
