v3 cover Intel Cache Allocation Technology

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

[I know we are in the middle of the merge window ... just putting these out there now so that if anyone has a boring meeting or plane ride they can have something interesting to do]

Dave: Got rid of the atomic ops in fork() ... in fact there is no hook
at all now. Membership in a resource group is indicated by the value of the current->closid field. So fork overhead is just the extra time to copy the task_struct that is one "int" bigger. We also got rid of some memory acceses in intel_rdt_sched_in() (which is also now fully in-line, so no function call). Maybe current->closid could be re-positioned inside the task_struct to get it into a warmer cache location.

Shaohua:Sorry, no "procs" file yet. It can be added as another patch
(hint: if you write it, it will happen faster :-)

PeterZ: Using bitfields for the CPUID field extraction.

Nilay: Using DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE now.

Boris: Using init_scattered_cpuid_features()

Thomas: So many comments ... I hope we got them all covered.

Totally revamped patch series to make review easier. Here's a guide to what is in each patch, and what you can expect to see on a running system with patches up to each point applied. Some code got copied ... so Vikas deserves some Author credit, but I didn't track which bits ended up in which new piece.

0001-Documentation-ABI-Add-a-document-entry-for-cache-id.patch 0002-cacheinfo-Introduce-cache-id.patch 0003-x86-intel_cacheinfo-Enable-cache-id-in-x86.patch

These three define an "id" for each cache ... we need a "name" for a cache so we can say what restrictions to apply to each cache in the system. All you will see at this point is an extra "id" file in each /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/ directory.

0004-x86-intel_rdt-Feature-discovery.patch

Look at CPUID for the features related to cache allocation. At this point /proc/cpuinfo shows extra flags for the features found on your system.

0005-Documentation-x86-Documentation-for-Intel-resource-a.patch

Documentation patch could be anywhere in this sequence. We put in early so you can read it to see how to use the interface.

0006-x86-intel_rdt-Add-CONFIG-Makefile-and-basic-initiali.patch

Add CONFIG_INTEL_RDT (default "n" ... you'll have to set it to have this, and all the following patches do anything). Template driver here just checks for features and spams the console with one line for each.

0007-x86-intel_rdt-Add-Haswell-feature-discovery.patch

There are some Haswell systems that support cache allocation, but they were made before the CPUID bits were fully defined. So we check by probing the PQR_ASSOC MSR to see if CLOSID bits stick. Unless you have one of these Haswells, you won't see any difference here.

0008-x86-intel_rdt-Pick-up-L3-RDT-parameters-from-CPUID.patch

This is all new code, not seen in the previous versions of this patch series. L3 cache allocation is just the first of several resource control features. Define rdt_resource structure that contains all the useful things we need to know about a resource. Pick up the parameters for the resource from CPUID. The console spam strings change format here.

0009-x86-cqm-Move-PQR_ASSOC-management-code-into-generic-.patch

The PQR_ASSOC MSR has a field for the CLOSID (which we need define which allocation rules are in effect). But it also contains the RMID (used by CQM and MBM perf monitoring). The perf code got here first, but defined structures that make it easy for the two systems to co-exist without stomping on each other. This patch moves the relevant parts into a common header file and changes the scope from "static" to global so we can access them. No visible change.

0010-x86-intel_rdt-Build-structures-for-each-resource-bas.patch

For each enabled resource, we build a list of "rdt_domains" based on hotplug cpu notifications. Since we only have L3 at this point, this is just a list of L3 caches (named by the "id" established in the first three patches). As each cache is found we initialize the array of CBMs (cache bit masks). No visible change here.

0011-x86-intel_rdt-Add-basic-resctrl-filesystem-support.patch

Our interface is a kernfs backed file system. Establish the mount point, and provide mount/unmount functionality. At this point "/sys/fs/resctrl" appears. You can mount and unmount the resctrl file system (if your system supports code/data prioritization, you can use the "cdp" mount option). The file system is empty and doesn't allow creation of any files or subdirectories.

0012-x86-intel_rdt-Add-info-files-to-resctrl-file-system.patch

	Parameters for each resource are buried in CPUID leaf 0x10.
	This isn't very user friendly for scripts and applications
	that want to configure resource allocation. Create an
	"info" directory, with a subdirectory for each resource
	containing a couple of useful parameters. Visible change:
	$ ls -l /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3
	total 0
	-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct  7 11:20 cbm_val
	-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct  7 11:20 num_closid

0013-x86-intel_rdt-Add-mkdir-to-resctrl-file-system.patch

Each resource group is represented by a directory in the resctrl file system. The root directory is the default group. Use "mkdir" to create new groups and "rmdir" to remove them. The maximum number of groups is defined by the effective number of CLOSIDs.
Visible change: If you have CDP (and enable with the "cdp" mount option) you will find that you can only create half as many groups as without (e.g. 8 vs. 16 on Broadwell, but the default group uses one ... so actually 7, 15).

0014-x86-intel_rdt-Add-cpus-file.patch

One of the control mechanisms for a resource group is the logical CPU. Initially all CPUs are assigned to the default group. They can be reassigned to other groups by writing a cpumask to the "cpus" file. See the documentation for what this means.
Visible change: "cpus" file in the root, and automatically in each created subdirectory. You can "echo" masks to these files and watch as CPUs added to one group are removed from whatever group they previously belonged to. Removing a directory will give all CPUs owned by it back to the default (root) group.

0015-x86-intel_rdt-Add-tasks-files.patch

Tasks can be assigned to resource groups by writing their PID to a "tasks" file (which removes the task from its previous group). Forked/cloned tasks inherit the group from their parent. You cannot remove a group (directory) that has any tasks assigned.
Visible change: "tasks" files appear. E.g. (we see two tasks in the group, our shell, and the "cat" that it spawned). # echo $$ > p0/tasks; cat p0/tasks
268890
268914

0016-x86-intel_rdt-Add-schemata-file.patch

The "schemata" file in each group/directory defines what access tasks controlled by this resource are permitted. One line per resource type. Fields for each instance of the resource. You redefine the access by wrting to the file in the same format.
Visible change: "schemata" file which starts out with maximum allowed resources. E.g.
$ cat schemata
L3:0=fffff;1=fffff
Now restrict this group to just 20% of L3 on first cache, but allow 50% on the second
# echo L3:0=f;1=3ff > schemata

0017-x86-intel_rdt-Add-scheduler-hook.patch

When context switching we check if we are changing resource groups for the new process, and update the PQR_ASSOC MSR with the new CLOSID if needed.
Visble change: Everything should be working now. Tasks run with the permitted access to L3 cache.

0018-MAINTAINERS-Add-maintainer-for-Intel-RDT-resource-al.patch

New files ... need a maintainer. Fenghua has the job.

That's a side effect of the x86 algorithm to generate the unique ID which uses a shift to put the socket number in some upper bits while leaving the "id within a socket" in the low bits.

I don't think it worth documenting here, but I noticed that we don't keep the IDs within a core contguous either. On my 24 core Broadwell they are not 0 ... 23 then a gap from 24 to 31. I actually have on socket 0:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

PATCH v3 2/18 cacheinfo: Introduce cache id

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Cache management software needs a name for each instance of a cache of a particular type.

The current cacheinfo structure does not provide any information about the underlying hardware so there is no way to expose it.

Hardware with cache management features provides means (cpuid, enumeration etc.) to retrieve the hardware id of a particular cache instance. Cache instances which share hardware have the same hardware id.

Add an 'id' field to struct cacheinfo to store this information. Expose this information under the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/ directory as well.

Can you put parentheses around 'this_leaf->attributes & CACHE_ID'? Whenever I look at expressions using bitwise operators without parentheses, I have to lookup the precedence table to make sure everything is fine.

PATCH v3 4/18 x86/intel_rdt: Feature discovery

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Check CPUID leaves for all the Resource Director Technology (RDT) Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) bits.

Prescence of allocation features:
CPUID.(EAX=7H, ECX=0):EBX[bit 15] X86_FEATURE_RDT_A

L2 and L3 caches are each separately enabled:
CPUID.(EAX=10H, ECX=0):EBX[bit 1] X86_FEATURE_CAT_L3
CPUID.(EAX=10H, ECX=0):EBX[bit 2] X86_FEATURE_CAT_L2

L3 cache may support independent control of allocation for code and data (CDP = Code/Data Prioritization):
CPUID.(EAX=10H, ECX=1):ECX[bit 2] X86_FEATURE_CDP_L3

We don't generally add vendor names to those defines. Even more so if the 0x0... leaf range is Intel-specific anyway.

No, this is wrong. The 0x0 CPUID leaf is owned by Intel. Let me quote my reply to Dave from yesterday:

There's no reason to do anything really: the 0x0... CPUID leaf is owned by Intel and 0x8... by AMD. So far, if AMD implements a feature in the Intel leaf, it sets the respective CPUID bit. So a feature can be present in multiple vendors. Thus you don't need the vendor name in the define."

While that isn't a horrible idea, it's also not something that we've enforced at *all* in the past. Would you suggest that we do this only for features in the generic CPUID leaves, or all features?

PATCH v3 5/18 Documentation, x86: Documentation for Intel resource allocation user interface

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

The documentation describes user interface of how to allocate resource in Intel RDT.

Please note that the documentation covers generic user interface. Current patch set code only implemente CAT L3. CAT L2 code will be sent later.

+User Interface for Resource Allocation in Intel Resource Director Technology
+
+Copyright (C) 2016 Intel Corporation
+
+Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>
+Tony Luck <[email protected]>
+
+This feature is enabled by the CONFIG_INTEL_RDT Kconfig and the
+X86 /proc/cpuinfo flag bits "rdt", "cat_l3" and "cdp_l3".
+
+To use the feature mount the file system:
+
+ # mount -t resctrl resctrl [-o cdp] /sys/fs/resctrl
+
+mount options are:
+
+"cdp": Enable code/data prioritization in L3 cache allocations.
+
+
+Resource groups
+---------------
+Resource groups are represented as directories in the resctrl file
+system. The default group is the root directory. Other groups may be
+created as desired by the system administrator using the "mkdir(1)"
+command, and removed using "rmdir(1)".
+
+There are three files associated with each group:
+
+"tasks": A list of tasks that belongs to this group. Tasks can be
+	added to a group by writing the task ID to the "tasks" file
+	(which will automatically remove them from the previous
+	group to which they belonged). New tasks created by fork(2)
+	and clone(2) are added to the same group as their parent.
+	If a pid is not in any sub partition, it is in root partition
+	(i.e. default partition).
+
+"cpus": A bitmask of logical CPUs assigned to this group. Writing
+	a new mask can add/remove CPUs from this group. Added CPUs
+	are removed from their previous group. Removed ones are
+	given to the default (root) group. You cannot remove CPUs
+	from the default group.
+
+"schemata": A list of all the resources available to this group.
+	Each resource has its own line and format - see below for
+	details.
+
+When a task is running the following rules define which resources
+are available to it:
+
+1) If the task is a member of a non-default group, then the schemata
+for that group is used.
+
+2) Else if the task belongs to the default group, but is running on a
+CPU that is assigned to some specific group, then the schemata for
+the CPU's group is used.
+
+3) Otherwise the schemata for the default group is used.
+
+
+Schemata files - general concepts
+---------------------------------
+Each line in the file describes one resource. The line starts with
+the name of the resource, followed by specific values to be applied
+in each of the instances of that resource on the system.
+
+Cache IDs
+---------
+On current generation systems there is one L3 cache per socket and L2
+caches are generally just shared by the hyperthreads on a core, but this
+isn't an architectural requirement. We could have multiple separate L3
+caches on a socket, multiple cores could share an L2 cache. So instead
+of using "socket" or "core" to define the set of logical cpus sharing
+a resource we use a "Cache ID". At a given cache level this will be a
+unique number across the whole system (but it isn't guaranteed to be a
+contiguous sequence, there may be gaps).  To find the ID for each logical
+CPU look in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/id
+
+Cache Bit Masks (CBM)
+---------------------
+For cache resources we describe the portion of the cache that is available
+for allocation using a bitmask. The maximum value of the mask is defined
+by each cpu model (and may be different for different cache levels). It
+is found using CPUID, but is also provided in the "info" directory of
+the resctrl file system in "info/{resource}/max_cbm_val". X86 hardware
+requires that these masks have all the '1' bits in a contiguous block. So
+0x3, 0x6 and 0xC are legal 4-bit masks with two bits set, but 0x5, 0x9
+and 0xA are not.  On a system with a 20-bit mask each bit represents 5%
+of the capacity of the cache. You could partition the cache into four
+equal parts with masks: 0x1f, 0x3e0, 0x7c00, 0xf8000.
+
+
+L3 details (code and data prioritization disabled)
+--------------------------------------------------
+With CDP disabled the L3 schemata format is:
+
+	L3:<cache_id0>=<cbm>;<cache_id1>=<cbm>;...
+
+L3 details (CDP enabled via mount option to resctrl)
+----------------------------------------------------
+When CDP is enabled, you need to specify separate cache bit masks for
+code and data access. The generic format is:
+
+	L3:<cache_id0>=<d_cbm>,<i_cbm>;<cache_id1>=<d_cbm>,<i_cbm>;...
+
+where the d_cbm masks are for data access, and the i_cbm masks for code.
+
+
+Example 1
+---------
+On a two socket machine (one L3 cache per socket) with just four bits
+for cache bit masks
+
+# mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
+# cd /sys/fs/resctrl
+# mkdir p0 p1
+# echo "L3:0=3;1=c" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p0/schemata
+# echo "L3:0=3;1=3" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
+
+The default resource group is unmodified, so we have access to all parts
+of all caches (its schemata file reads "L3:0=f;1=f").
+
+Tasks that are under the control of group "p0" may only allocate from the
+"lower" 50% on cache ID 0, and the "upper" 50% of cache ID 1.
+Tasks in group "p1" use the "lower" 50% of cache on both sockets.
+
+Example 2
+---------
+Again two sockets, but this time with a more realistic 20-bit mask.
+
+Two real time tasks pid=1234 running on processor 0 and pid=5678 running on
+processor 1 on socket 0 on a 2-socket and dual core machine. To avoid noisy
+neighbors, each of the two real-time tasks exclusively occupies one quarter
+of L3 cache on socket 0.
+
+# mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
+# cd /sys/fs/resctrl
+
+First we reset the schemata for the default group so that the "upper"
+50% of the L3 cache on socket 0 cannot be used by ordinary tasks:
+
+# echo "L3:0=3ff;1=fffff" > schemata
+
+Next we make a resource group for our first real time task and give
+it access to the "top" 25% of the cache on socket 0.
+
+# mkdir p0
+# echo "L3:0=f8000;1=fffff" > p0/schemata
+
+Finally we move our first real time task into this resource group. We
+also use taskset(1) to ensure the task always runs on a dedicated CPU
+on socket 0. Most uses of resource groups will also constrain which
+processors tasks run on.
+
+# echo 1234 > p0/tasks
+# taskset -cp 1 1234
+
+Ditto for the second real time task (with the remaining 25% of cache):
+
+# mkdir p1
+# echo "L3:0=7c00;1=fffff" > p1/schemata
+# echo 5678 > p1/tasks
+# taskset -cp 2 5678

L3 and L2 are similar but different. L2 doesn't have CDP feature. It would be better to talk them separately here.

L3 and L2 are similar but different. L2 doesn't have CDP feature. It would be better to talk them separately here.

Perhaps we should document the general form, and then show examples for L3 (and later L2 and other resources as they are added). Note in particular that other resources are not cache-like ... so the pattern you see between L3 and L2 is short lived. Future resources that can be controlled are not caches.

General form of a resource line is:

{resource type}:[{resource instanceM}={resource value};]*N

where "M" iterates over all online instances of this resource, and "N" is the total number. [and the ";" is a separator, not a terminator, but I'm not sure how to write that].

For the "L3" resource there are two formats for the value. With CDP enabled:

	{d-cache bit mask},{i-cache bit mask}
with CDP disabled:
	{cache bit mask}

"L2" resource doesn't support CDP, so the only format is {cache bit mask}

The next resource coming will have values that are simple ranges {0 .. max}

Regarding addition of more resources, I was wondering if one common definition of struct rdt_resource to be used for each resource the way to take.

As you point out, L2 caches will not support CDP, but cdp would be part of the variable describing L2 cache. Should we have separate structs for each resource?

Yes and no.

CDP is currently the only real difference between L2 and L3, and the current code will just never set the @cdp_capable field to true. It seems less of a burdern to carry two extra "bool" fields in the resource that won't use them, than to architect some complex scheme that allows different resources to have different structures.

The structure essentially has to be the same for each resource so that we can do:

	for_each_rdt_resource(r) {
		something()
	}

all over the code (from bringing cpus online and taking them off again to deciding which lines to print in the schemata file). There are over a dozen places where this happens, and it is the key to making it easy to add support for new resources.

However, I expect the structure to morph as new resources require a different "something()". E.g. validating a new resource limit value in the schemata file. Right now the function that does that has the weird rules about consecutive bits in the bitmask hard wired into it. When we get a resource that allows a simple range, we'll want a simpler function. Spoiler: that resource also expects "0" as the default value which doesn't restrict accesss, bigger numbers limiting access more. So we may also want an "initial_value", or "default_value" field so the discovery and cleanup code can set the per resource MSR array correctly.

So we'll add some per-resource flags. Perhaps the validation function will be a function pointer in the structure. If there are many such differences, we might end up with all the common fields at the front of the structure, and a union of structures with the per resource type bits. But we can make that call as we add new resources.

PATCH v3 6/18 x86/intel_rdt: Add CONFIG, Makefile, and basic initialization

Introduce CONFIG_INTEL_RDT (default: no, dependent on X86 and CPU_SUP_INTEL) to control inclusion of Resource Director Technology in the build.

Simple init() routine just checks which features are present. If they are pr_info() one line summary for each feature.

No need for that - you can do directly

So this reads stupid: Intel cache allocation? Reads like Intel can do cache allocation. But it does already, even before that RDT stuff.

So you need to think of a more sensible name for it: "Intel cache partitioning support detected" or some descriptive name which actually denotes what the technology is.

Everybody can allocate lines in the cache :)

The MSR is not guaranteed on every stepping of the family and model machine because some parts may have the MSR fused off. And some bits in the MSR may not be implemented on some parts. And in KVM or guest, the MSR may not implemented. Those are reasons why we use wrmsr_safe/rdmsr_safe in Haswell probe.

I wonder what's worse - comparing SKU strings - we know that from the MCE recovery experience - or poking at maybe nonexistent MSRs? :-)

I guess the latter is cleaner so let's try it.

Thanks for the writeup in the comments - this is exactly what I was thinking about!

I guess the latter is cleaner so let's try it.

Vikas got beat up for comparing SKU strings, so the probe method was offered as an alternative. It's definitely more robust. E.g. my list turns out to be incomplete, somehow I forgot to include:

PATCH v3 8/18 x86/intel_rdt: Pick up L3 RDT parameters from CPUID

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Define struct rdt_resource to hold all the parameterized values for an RDT resource. Fill in some of those values from CPUID leaf 0x10 (on Haswell we hard code them).

PATCH v3 9/18 x86/cqm: Move PQR_ASSOC management code into generic code used by both CQM and CAT

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

A CLOSID goes into effect when written to the PQR_ASSOC MSR. But this MSR also contains the RMID used for preformance monitoring of cache occupancy and memory bandwidth. Move the management code for this MSR out of arch/x86/events/intel/cqm.c and into generic RDT code so we can coordinate updates to the MSR.

PATCH v3 10/18 x86/intel_rdt: Build structures for each resource based on cache topology

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Tony Luck <[email protected]>

We use the cpu hotplug notifier to catch each cpu in turn and look at its cache topology w.r.t each of the resource groups. As we discover new resources, we initialize the bitmask array for each to the default (full access) value.

PATCH v3 11/18 x86/intel_rdt: Add basic resctrl filesystem support

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Use kernfs as basis for our user interface filesystem. This patch supports mount/umount, and one mount parameter "cdp" to enable code/data prioritization (though all we do at this point is ensure that the system can support CDP). The file system is not populated yet in this patch.

I am not too happy with the function above. I would have expected that the function above executes the common code and also makes calls to per resource functions. The way it has been written as now, it seems to be mixing up things.

I am not too happy with the function above. I would have expected that the function above executes the common code and also makes calls to per resource functions. The way it has been written as now, it seems to be mixing up things.

It is a bit muddled. Below patch is on top of the series, but can be threaded back into appropriate parts.

1) Moves the r->cdp_enabled = false into parse_rdtgroupfs_options()

2) Move the rdt_max_closid re-computation out of mount() and into closid_init() [not in above as it is introduced later].

3) Bonus ... gets rid of global "rdt_max_closid" as really nothing outside of closid_init() needs to know what it is.

Better?

PATCH v3 13/18 x86/intel_rdt: Add mkdir to resctrl file system

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

Resource control groups are represented as directories in the resctrl file system. The root directory describes the default resources available to tasks that have not been assigned specific resources. Other directories can be created at the root level to make new resource groups. It is not permitted to make directories within other directories.

Hardware uses a CLOSID (Class of service ID) to determine which resource limits are currently in effect. The exact number available is enumerated by CPUID leaf 0x10, but on current implementations it is a small number. We implement a simple bitmask allocator for CLOSIDs.

Each resource control group uses one CLOSID, which limits the total number of directories that can be created.

Resource groups can be removed using rmdir.

PATCH v3 14/18 x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus file

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Tony Luck <[email protected]>

Now we populate each directory with a read/write (mode 0644) file named "cpus". This is used to over-ride the resources available to processes in the default resource group when running on specific CPUs. Each "cpus" file reads as a cpumask showing which CPUs belong to this resource group. Initially all online CPUs are assigned to the default group. They can be added to other groups by writing a cpumask to the "cpus" file in the directory for the resource group (which will remove them from the previous group to which they were assigned). CPU online/offline operations will delete CPUs that go offline from whatever group they are in and add new CPUs to the default group.

If there are CPUs assigned to a group when the directory is removed, they are returned to the default group.

PATCH v3 15/18 x86/intel_rdt: Add tasks files

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]>

The root directory all subdirectories are automatically populated with a read/write (mode 0644) file named "tasks". When read it will show all the task IDs assigned to the resource group. Tasks can be added (one at a time) to a group by writing the task ID to the file. E.g.

Membership in a resource group is indicated by a new field in the task_struct "int closid" which holds the CLOSID for each task. The default resource group uses CLOSID=0 which means that all existing tasks when the resctrl file system is mounted belong to the default group.

A resource group cannot be removed while there are tasks assigned to it.

PATCH v3 16/18 x86/intel_rdt: Add schemata file

In reply to Fenghua Yu

From: Tony Luck <[email protected]>

Last of the per resource group files. Also mode 0644. This one shows the resources available to the group. Syntax depends on whether the "cdp" mount option was given. With code/data prioritization disabled it is simply a list of masks for each cache domain. Initial value allows access to all of the L3 cache on all domains. E.g. on a 2 socket Broadwell:

        L3:0=fffff;1=fffff
With CDP enabled, separate masks for data and instructions are provided:
        L3:0=fffff,fffff;1=fffff,fffff

[RFC PATCH 19/18] x86/intel_rdt: Add support for L2 cache allocation

In reply to Fenghua Yu

Just in case you think that part 0010 is a bit complex setting up all that infrastructure for just the L3 cache and using for_each_rdt_resource() all over the place to loop over just one thing. Here's the payoff.

Untested because I don't have a machine handy that supports L2 ... but this should be all that needs to change for L2 cache allocation (both as an alternate to L3, or in combination with L3).

Next feature after L2 is not a cache - so rdt_resource will have to grow some new flags, or perhaps some "->resource_ops()" functions to handle the pieces that work a bit differently, but the fundamentals should still apply.

Not-signed-off-yet: Tony Luck
