The CBM overlap test is used to manage the allocations of RDT resources
where overlap is possible between resource groups. When a resource group
is in exclusive mode then there should be no overlap between resource
groups.
The current overlap test only considers overlap between the same
resources, for example, that usage of a RDT_RESOURCE_L2DATA resource
in one resource group does not overlap with usage of a RDT_RESOURCE_L2DATA
resource in another resource group. The problem with this is that it
allows overlap between a RDT_RESOURCE_L2DATA resource in one resource
group with a RDT_RESOURCE_L2CODE resource in another resource group -
even if both resource groups are in exclusive mode. This is a problem
because even though these appear to be different resources they end up
sharing the same underlying hardware and thus does not fulfill the
user's request for exclusive use of hardware resources.
Fix this by including the CDP peer (if there is one) in every CBM
overlap test. This does not impact the overlap between resources
within the same exclusive resource group that is allowed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
