Just a small documentation change found by sashiko since v5. The patches should stay together so please could this all go via tip. Changelogs in patches. From cover letter of v3: This is a new version of Dave Martin's patch [1] to delegate rounding of bandwidth control user values to the arch code. As there is now more than one architecture using resctrl, I split the original patch into two, a core resctrl patch and an x86 patch, and added an MPAM patch. Please let me know if the patch break down and ordering is sensible and whether the pattern should be followed for any future similar changes. This does have a user visible effect on MB schema when using MPAM hardware with 'bandwidth_gran' greater than 1. I'm not sure if MPAM hardware with such coarse controls exists in the wild but it is spec compliant and I've tested it on a model.
