Resctrl selftest prints a message on test failure that Sub-Numa Clustering (SNC) could be enabled and points the user to check their BIOS settings. No actual check is performed before printing that message so it is not very accurate in pinpointing a problem.
When there is SNC support for kernel's resctrl subsystem and SNC is enabled then sub node files are created for each node in the resctrlfs. The sub node files exist in each regular node's L3 monitoring directory. The reliable path to check for existence of sub node files is /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mon_sub_L3_00.
Add helper that checks for mon_sub_L3_00 existence.
Correct old messages to account for kernel support of SNC in resctrl.
Signed-off-by: Maciej Wieczor-Retman maciej.wieczor-retman@intel.com Reviewed-by: Reinette Chatre reinette.chatre@intel.com --- Changelog v8: - Add Reinette's reviewed by tag.
Changelog v7: - Merge strings with file paths that are saved into node_path variable.
Changelog v6: - Remove snc_unreliable checks at the end of the tests since now the tests are skipped if snc_unreliable was set. - Move snc_kernel_support() back to this patch since it's not used in the previous patch anymore. - Redo the patch message after code changes.
Changelog v5: - Move all resctrlfs.c code from this patch to 1/2. (Reinette) - Remove kernel support check and error message from CAT since it can't be happen. - Remove snc checks in CAT since snc doesn't affect it here. - Skip MBM, MBA and CMT tests if snc is unreliable.
Changelog v4: - Change messages at the end of tests and at the start of run_single_test. (Reinette) - Add messages at the end of CAT since it can also fail due to enabled SNC + lack of kernel support. - Remove snc_mode global variable. (Reinette) - Fix wrong description of snc_kernel_support(). (Reinette) - Move call to cpus_offline_empty() into snc_nodes_per_l3_cache() so the whole detection flow is in one place as discussed. (Reinette)
Changelog v3: - Change snc_ways() to snc_nodes_per_l3_cache(). (Reinette) - Add printing the discovered SNC mode. (Reinette) - Change method of kernel support discovery from cache sizes to existance of sub node files. - Check if SNC detection is unreliable. - Move SNC detection to only the first run_single_test() instead on error at the end of test runs. - Add global value to remind user at the end of relevant tests if SNC detection was found to be unreliable. - Redo the patch message after the changes.
Changelog v2: - Move snc_ways() checks from individual tests into snc_kernel_support(). - Write better comment for snc_kernel_support().
