Subject: [PATCH v3 07/12] fs/resctrl: Add info/kernel_mode for kernel-mode policy introspection
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:24:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <549bf0fadf1cedb5938599be58e53b7464c939b5.1777591497.git.babu.moger@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1777591496.git.babu.moger@amd.com>
There is no user-visible way today to see which kernel-mode CLOSID/RMID
policies the running kernel supports, which one is active, or which
resctrl group currently owns the kernel CLOSID/RMID.
Add a read-only top-level sysfs file, info/kernel_mode. It emits one
line per mode advertised in resctrl_kcfg.kmode, in stable lowercase
spelling derived from enum resctrl_kernel_modes, e.g.:
[inherit_ctrl_and_mon:group=//]
global_assign_ctrl_inherit_mon_per_cpu:group=none
global_assign_ctrl_assign_mon_per_cpu:group=none
The effective policy (resctrl_kcfg.kmode_cur) is wrapped in square
brackets and its :group= suffix names the resctrl group currently
bound to the kernel CLOSID/RMID (resctrl_kcfg.k_rdtgrp), formatted as
<ctrl>/<mon>/ with empty components left blank. Inactive modes are
reported as :group=none.
rdtgroup_mutex is held while printing, matching other info/ show paths.
Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@amd.com>

v3: New patch to handle the changed interface file info/kernel_mode.
Changed the group name to "none" if kmode binding is not done.
Reinette suggested "uninitialized". "none" seemed more relevent.
