Callers of get_cbm_mask() are required to pass a string into which the
CBM bit mask is read. Neither CAT nor CMT tests need the mask as string
but just convert it into an unsigned long value.

The bit mask reader can only read .../cbm_mask files.

Generalize the bit mask reading function into get_bit_mask() such that
it can be used to handle other files besides the .../cbm_mask and
handle the unsigned long conversion within get_bit_mask() using
fscanf(). Alter get_cbm_mask() to construct the filename for
get_bit_mask().

Also mark cache_type const while at it.

"CBM bit mask" -> "CBM" / "capacity bitmask (CBM)"?

Generally isn't cbm_mask an odd name because of the repetition (capacity bitmask
mask)? After looking at x86/resctrl files putting "mask" after "cbm" only
happens there. Maybe a better naming scheme here would be get_cbm_bits()?

I know you just copied code here but please keep an eye out for acronyms
to be written in caps.

This needs not be named to reflect verbatim what the function does.
Looking ahead I wonder if "get_full_mask()/get_max_mask()" may not be a
clear indication of what this does?

Something like:
	get_full_mask()/get_max_mask()  Get maximum Cache Bit Mask (CBM) 
	@cache_type:	Cache level(? or should this be "type") as "L2" or L3".
	@mask:		Full/Maximum portion of cache available for
			allocation represented by bit mask
			returned as unsigned long.

Just to confirm ... error checking on mask is intentionally deferred 
until get_bit_mask()?

Yeah, Maciej also commented on this. I've already made some changes but 
I'll incorporate some of your suggestions too.

Having max in the name sounds useful.

Also related to this, the local variables called long_mask should be 
renamed but perhaps not in this series to not block Maciej's work with 
neverending stream of cleanups :-).

I tried to put as much as possible into get_bit_mask() since every caller 
will have to do the same things anyway. I cannot avoid checking cache_type 
here because snprintf() is using it.


Once again, very superb review of the whole series, thank you very much 
for all the effort! It's really appreciated!
