Hi Reinette,

In CAT/MBA(allocation) tests, function write_schemata() is used to change the percentage of schemata. In CMT/MBM(monitoring) tests schemata only need to be set 100% once, and the default value of schemata is 100% which is set by executing mount/umout resctrl filesystem. In addition, write_schemata() was not currently called from CMT.
While this is all accurate it is not clear to me that this justifies the removal of the support for changing the schemata as part of a CMT test.
From what I can tell write_schemata() is a a generic function that currently supports all possible tests. If a later update needs to use this for a CMT test then it should work.
I do not see any harm in leaving these checks.
According to my research, whether clearing this code or not has no effect on the current program. I cleared this code because it looks redundant. Because CMT test didn't call write_schemata(). I will remove this patch in the next version.
Best Regards, Shaopeng
Clean up unused CMT-related processing in function write_schemata().
