Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] selftests/resctrl: Add L3_CBM_VALIDATE to check CBM writes
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 17:51:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810095124.32244-2-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810095124.32244-1-icheng@nvidia.com>
Add L3_CBM_VALIDATE to verify that resctrl enforces the L3 CBM rules
advertised by cbm_mask and min_cbm_bits.
Confirm that the full mask is accepted. Check the empty mask according
to min_cbm_bits, and confirm that out-of-range and undersized masks are
rejected.
This catches inconsistencies between the advertised capabilities and
schemata validation.
Signed-off-by: Richard Cheng <icheng@nvidia.com>

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- Rename L3_CAT_VALIDATE to L3_CBM_VALIDATE
- Handle empty CBMs according to min_cbm_bits
- Check count_contiguous_bits() before using its result
- Use KSFT_FAIL and reverse-fir-tree ordering
- Use a 64-bit out-of-range mask
Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
