Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/resctrl: Initialize new resource group with default MBA values

Currently when a new resource group is created, the allocation values
of MBA resource are not initialized and remain meaningless data.

For example:
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
MB:0=100;1=100

echo "MB:0=10;1=20" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p2
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p2/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

When the new group is created, it is reasonable to initialize MBA
resource with default values.

Initialize MBA resource and cache resources in separate functions.

Please format your commit message by indenting the examples:

x86/resctrl: Initialize a new resource group with default MBA values

Currently, when a new resource group is created, the allocation values
of the MBA resource are not initialized and remain meaningless data.

For example:

mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
MB:0=100;1=100

echo "MB:0=10;1=20" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p2
cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p2/schemata
MB:0= 10;1= 20

Therefore, when the new group is created, it is reasonable to initialize
MBA resource with default values.

Initialize the MBA resource and cache resources in separate functions."

Thx.

So all this code working on a rdt_domain *d pointer could be carved out
into a separate function called something like:

__init_one_rdt_domain(d, ...)

and this will make the code more readable and save us at least 2
indentation levels.

Please do that in a preparatory patch.

Then, after having done that, it would be very obvious when you do this
above because you won't be calling that __init_one_rdt_domain() function
for an MBA anyway.

In this patch we initialize MBA resource and cache resources in separate
functions rdtgroup_init_cat() and rdtgroup_init_mba(). If
__init_one_rdt_domain() is only called by rdtgroup_init_cat(), how about
using function name "__init_one_rdt_domain_cat()"?

Thank you.

I guess but be conservative when adding too many words to a function's
name - that might get heavy when reading the code later.

For example, there's an argument to not suffix it with "_cat": it is
only called by rdtgroup_init_cat() - rdtgroup_init_mba() will not call
it - so the path will remain unique anyway...

Anyway, something to think about - I personally don't have a strong
preference here.

Thx.

I got it. I will use the function name "__init_one_rdt_domain()" you
suggested.

Thank you.
