Subject[RFC PATCH 2/3] x86/resctrl: Move the task's threads to the group automatically
From
Date
Some micro benchmarks run multiple threads when started. Monitoring
(or controlling) the benchmark using the task id is bit tricky. Users
need to track all the threads and assign them individually to monitor
or control. For example:
$stream_lowOverhead -codeAlg 13 -nRep 100000 -cores 0 1 2 3 -memMB 32
-alignKB 8192 -aPadB 0 -bPadB 0 -cPadB 0 -testMask 1

$pidof stream_lowOverhead
6793

This benchmark actually runs multiple threads underneath on the cores
listed above. It can be seen with the command:
$ps -T -p 6793
PID SPID TTY TIME CMD
6793 6793 pts/2 00:00:00 stream_lowOverh
6793 6802 pts/2 00:01:25 stream_lowOverh
6793 6803 pts/2 00:01:25 stream_lowOverh
6793 6804 pts/2 00:01:25 stream_lowOverh
6793 6805 pts/2 00:01:25 stream_lowOverh

Users need to assign these threads individually to the resctrl group for
monitoring or controlling.

$echo 6793 > /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks
$echo 6802 > /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks
$echo 6803 > /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks
$echo 6804 > /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks
$echo 6805 > /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks

That is not easy when dealing with numerous threads.

Detect the task's threads automatically and assign them to the resctrl
group when parent task is assigned. For example:
$echo 6793 > /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks

All the threads will be assigned to the group automatically.
$cat /sys/fs/restrl/clos1/tasks
6793
6793
6802
6803
6804
6805
