Subject: [PATCH 6/7] tools/power turbostat: prevent infinite loop on migration error path
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:43:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <883d5d681f426eb42ad65d805cfc138dea986b6c.1352925508.git.len.brown@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1352925804-6746-1-git-send-email-lenb@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <39300ffb9b6666714c60735cf854e1280e4e75f4.1352925508.git.len.brown@intel.com>

From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Turbostat assumed if it can't migrate to a CPU, then the CPU
must have gone off-line and turbostat should re-initialize
with the new topology.

But if turbostat can not migrate because it is restricted by
a cpuset, then it will fail to migrate even after re-initialization,
resulting in an infinite loop.

Spit out a warning when we can't migrate
and endure only 2 re-initialize cycles in a row
before giving up and exiting.
