More details of the problem and context is in cover-letter of v1. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261012102037.2477378-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com/ v1->v2: - Move to kernel parameters from debugfs. This helps to keep llc_id consistent which doesn't change across sched domain rebuilds. (Tim Chen) - Update arch_llc_mask to reflect the override (Tim Chen) - Limit only to mc, pkg (Srikar Dronamraju) Notes: - A selftest for the functional validation of cache aware scheduling is a good idea as we discussed in v1. It is a significant change on its own and likely takes time. I am thinking it might be good idea to revisit selftests for scheduler in general. (We have very few). Maybe worth a discussion in coming OSPM. - I am on parental leave. This version is pretty much what I had last week and I haven't gotten any chance to update since. just sending it out. Sorry if I have missed to address any comments. Please expect delays in my response.
