[PATCH 0/3] x86/resctrl: Add "*" shorthand to set minimum io_alloc CBM for all domains

[Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>]

Hi Babu, Tony, Reinette,

This series was rebased on tip/x86/cache since commit ac7de456a37f
("fs/resctrl: Update bit_usage to reflect io_alloc"). It is instead to be
merged after the inclusion of "[PATCH v12 00/10] x86,fs/resctrl: Support L3
Smart Data Cache Injection Allocation Enforcement (SDCIAE)" series [1].

As previously discussed [2], a special domain ID selector "*" has been
introduced for io_alloc_cbm that allows setting the CBM of each cache
domain to its minimum number of consecutive bits in a single operation. For
example, writing "*=0" to /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3/io_alloc_cbm programs
each domain's CBM to the hardware-defined minimum, greatly simplifying
automation and management tasks. The user is required to specify the
correct minimum stored in /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3/min_cbm_bits.

Please let me know your thoughts.
