Please remove.  The word doesn't mean anything in this context.

Just always show the settings for all devices in the max file like the
following?

  mlx4_0 ah=max qp=max mr=max pd=max srq=max flow=max
  ocrdma0 ah=max qp=max mr=max pd=max

Thanks.

I can remove "resource" key word. If just that if something other than
resource comes up to limit to in future, it will be hard to define at
that time.

max file does lists them only after limits are configured for that
device. Thats when rpool (array of max and usage counts) is allocated.

If user wants to know what all knobs are available, than list file
exposes them on per device basis without actually mentioning actual
limit or without allocating rpool arrays.

If you are hinting that I should allocate rpool array when rdma cgroup
is created, that can be done for already discovered devices.
If new devices are discovered after cgroup is created, for them we
anyway have to allocate/free when they appear/disappear.

In different implementation, where list of all the rdma cgroups can be
maintained, and rpool arrays can be allocated for all of them when new
device appear/disappear. This can move complexity of dynamic
allocation from try_charge/uncharge to device addition and removal
APIs. ib_register_ib_device() level.
However this comes with memory cost, where even if those device doesnt
participate in cgroup, for them rpool memory will be allocated for
each such rdma cgroup.

list file looks like below for two device entries.
mlx4_0 ah qp mr pd srq flow
ocrdma0 ah qp mr pd

max file looks like below.
mlx4_0 ah=100 qp=40 mr=10 pd=90 srq=10 flow=10

Please see above for "resource". I guess we are not loosing anything
by having "rdma.resource" vs just having "rdma".
But if that sounds too much, we can remove "resource".

What's up with the ".resource" part?  Also can't the .max file list
the available resources?  Why does it need a separtae list file?

What does that achieve?  I feel that it's getting overengineered
constantly.

Yes. I read through. I can see two changes to be made in V2 version of
this patch.
1. rdma.resource.verb.usage and rdma.resource.verb.limit to change
respectively to,
2. rdma.resource.verb.stat and rdma.resource.verb.max.
3. rdma.resource.verb.failcnt indicate failure events, which I think
should go to events.
I roll out new patch for events post this patch as additional feature
and remove this feature in V2.

rdma.resource.verb.list file is unique to rdma cgroup, so I believe
this is fine.

We will conclude whether to have rdma.resource.hw. or not in
other patches.
I am in opinion to keep "resource" and "verb" or "hw" tags around to
keep it verbose enough to know what are we trying to control.

Is that ok?

Can you please read the rest of cgroup.txt and put the interface in
line with the common conventions followed by other controllers?

Thanks.
