Subject: [RFC PATCH 15/20] x86/intel_rdt: Prevent new allocations from pseudo-locked regions
Date:   Mon, 13 Nov 2017 08:39:38 -0800
Message-Id: <2e3b0415372eb00951294a9728d735b6a57e4e17.1510568528.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com>

Precedence: bulk

When a user requests a new cache allocation we need to enforce that it
does not intersect with an existing pseudo-locked region. An allocation
with a bitmask intersection with a pseudo-locked region will enable
cache allocations to that region and thus evict pseudo-locked data.
