Event: A valid MBM event in the
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs directory.
- Domain ID: A valid domain ID.
+ Domain ID: A valid domain ID. When writing, '*' applies the changes
+ to all the domains.
Assignment states:
mbm_total_bytes:0=e;1=e
mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+ Assignments can be modified by writing to the interface.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ To unassign the counter associated with the mbm_total_bytes event on domain 0:
+ ::
+
+ # echo "mbm_total_bytes:0=_" > /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=_;1=e
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
+ To unassign the counter associated with the mbm_total_bytes event on all the domains:
+ ::
+
+ # echo "mbm_total_bytes:*=_" > /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=_;1=_
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
+ To assign a counter associated with the mbm_total_bytes event on all domains in
+ exclusive mode:
+ ::
+
+ # echo "mbm_total_bytes:*=e" > /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=e;1=e
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
When the "mba_MBps" mount option is used all CTRL_MON groups will also contain:
"mba_MBps_event":
# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/mon_data/mon_L3_00/llc_occupancy
11234000
+
+Examples on working with mbm_assign_mode
+========================================
+
+a. Check if MBM counter assignment mode is supported.
+::
+
+ # mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
+ [mbm_event]
+ default
+
+The "mbm_event" mode is detected and enabled.
+
+b. Check how many assignable counters are supported.
+::
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/num_mbm_cntrs
+ 0=32;1=32
+
+c. Check how many assignable counters are available for assignment in each domain.
+::
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/available_mbm_cntrs
+ 0=30;1=30
+
+d. To list the default group's assign states.
+::
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=e;1=e
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
+e. To unassign the counter associated with the mbm_total_bytes event on domain 0.
+::
+
+ # echo "mbm_total_bytes:0=_" > /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=_;1=e
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
+f. To unassign the counter associated with the mbm_total_bytes event on all domains.
+::
+
+ # echo "mbm_total_bytes:*=_" > /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignment
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=_;1=_
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
+g. To assign a counter associated with the mbm_total_bytes event on all domains in
+exclusive mode.
+::
+
+ # echo "mbm_total_bytes:*=e" > /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mbm_L3_assignments
+ mbm_total_bytes:0=e;1=e
+ mbm_local_bytes:0=e;1=e
+
+h. Read the events mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes of the default group. There is
+no change in reading the events with the assignment.
+::
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
+ 779247936
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_01/mbm_total_bytes
+ 562324232
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes
+ 212122123
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_01/mbm_local_bytes
+ 121212144
+
+i. Check the event configurations.
+::
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs/mbm_total_bytes/event_filter
+ local_reads,remote_reads,local_non_temporal_writes,remote_non_temporal_writes,
+ local_reads_slow_memory,remote_reads_slow_memory,dirty_victim_writes_all
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs/mbm_local_bytes/event_filter
+ local_reads,local_non_temporal_writes,local_reads_slow_memory
+
+j. Change the event configuration for mbm_local_bytes.
+::
+
+ # echo "local_reads, local_non_temporal_writes, local_reads_slow_memory, remote_reads" >
+ /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs/mbm_local_bytes/event_filter
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs/mbm_local_bytes/event_filter
+ local_reads,local_non_temporal_writes,local_reads_slow_memory,remote_reads
+
+k. Now read the local events again. The first read may come back with "Unavailable"
+status. The subsequent read of mbm_local_bytes will display the current value.
+::
+
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes
+ Unavailable
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes
+ 2252323
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_01/mbm_local_bytes
+ Unavailable
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data/mon_L3_01/mbm_local_bytes
+ 1566565
+
+l. Users have the option to go back to 'default' mbm_assign_mode if required. This can be
+done using the following command. Note that switching the mbm_assign_mode may reset all
+the MBM counters (and thus all MBM events) of all the resctrl groups.
+::
+
+ # echo "default" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
+ # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
+ mbm_event
+ [default]
+
+m. Unmount the resctrl filesystem.
+::
+
+ # umount /sys/fs/resctrl/
