dm/mbps_val? Its initialised when its allocated by mba_sc_domain_allocate() when the
filesystem is mounted, or the domain online callback is made.

set_mba_sc() doesn't need to. During mount mba_sc is set to true in rdt_enable_ctx(),
which is before the mbps_val[] array is allocated. Once its allocated, its initialised.
While the filesystem is mounted, and domains come and go, the array is re-allocated and
re-initialised. On unmount, the array is freed when the schemata list is destroyed.

I think moving the allocation/free into set_mba_sc() will make this clearer.

That is about the ctrl_val[] array. The reset_all_ctrls() call should reset the hardware
that the arch code looks after. After these changes the mbps_val[] array is a resctrl
filesystem thing that the arch code doesn't need to know anything about.


Thanks,

James
