How to use resctrl on centos7.6(kernel 3.10)? #180

Closed oleotiger closed 3 years ago

oleotiger commented 3 years ago

I have reading the wiki about resctrl.

It mentions that 'If you wish to use this before the release of kernel 4.10 you can download from here kernel.googlesource x86/cache'

I go into the link and find that this is a commit to linux kernel with 2 files:arch/x86/include/asm/resctrl.h and arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c.

But with source code of my kernel of version 3.10 there is no directory arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl at all.

Does it mean that I need to update my kernel source code with these 2 files and recompile kernel and install it?

Hi,

We tested our latest release on specific versions of RedHat kernel for validation and it works fine.

To the best of my knowledge it should work on RHEL 7.9 which is a 3.10 backported kernel.

Thanks, Khawar
