Subject: [PATCH 10/13] thermal: intel: dpti: Add rank-based owner selection
Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2026 19:36:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109-dpti-custom-cpu-v1-10-ead8e2d2067e@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109-dpti-custom-cpu-v1-0-ead8e2d2067e@linux.intel.com>
Prepare for a sysfs interface that lets the user choose a CPU to own a
package's directed package-level thermal interrupt (DPTI). Add the state
and selection functionality for a pinned owner.
Implement a ranking mechanism to identify the best-suited CPU to own the
interrupt. The highest-ranked CPU in a package is the one the user selects
(DPTI_RANK_PINNED). All other CPUs are ranked as DPTI_RANK_ONLINE until
owner selection becomes isolation-aware.
On CPU hotplug events, re-evaluate which CPU owns the DPTI. If a
better-ranked CPU comes online, move the interrupt to that CPU. Likewise,
if the owner goes offline, find the next best-ranked CPU and move the
interrupt there. Both cases can occur if the user-selected CPU changes its
online status.
dpti_select_cpu() also reports the rank of its choice, which the online
path needs for its strict-improvement test. dpti_offline() ignores it until
isolation-aware selection warns about an isolated owner, but passes it
anyway rather than making the argument optional.
Route both hotplug callbacks through dpti_lookup_pkg_id() so that they
validate the package id the same way. dpti_online() needs only the
validation: let dpti_lookup_pkg_id() take a NULL pkg_id. dpti_online() now
returns the lookup's -ENODEV rather than -EINVAL: the CPU comes from the
hotplug core and is valid; what is missing is a per-package slot. The
caller only tests the value against zero.
With all CPUs ranked equally, behavior changes only after a failed
acknowledgment: the package then retries on its lowest-numbered online CPU
rather than on the CPU coming online.
