Ugh, violent NAK on this unreadable directory naming: 'resctrl' is an
ugly double/triple abbreviation that nobody recognizes for what it is to
begin with, and even the long form 'resource control' is an overly
generic naming - *everything* the kernel does is in essence 'resource
control' ...
So please find some better name and standardize the namespace around it.
A couple of suggestions:
- 'Hardware Quality of Service', i.e. HW_QOS, hw_qos
- or 'CPU bandwidth control', i.e. CPU_BW, cpu_bw
- or 'Hardware Bandwidth Control', i.e. HW_BW, hw_bw
etc.
Thanks,
ngo
