SubjectRe: [PATCH V15 11/11] x86,cgroup/intel_rdt : Add a cgroup interface to manage Intel cache allocation

+ clos_cbm_table_read(ir->closid, &ccbm);
+ if (cbmvalue == ccbm)
+ goto out;
+
+ err = cbm_validate_rdt_cgroup(ir, cbmvalue);

+ closid_put(ir->closid);
+ if (cbm_search(cbmvalue, &closid)) {

Can't you move closid_put here?

+ ir->closid = closid;
+ closid_get(closid);
+ } else {
+ closid = ir->closid;

Variable unused.

+ err = closid_alloc(&ir->closid);
+ if (err) {
+ closid_get(ir->closid);
+ goto out;
+ }

This makes you cycle closid when changing the cbm, not necessary.
(not very important, but closid_put is nerving because it can possibly
set l3_cbm to zero).
