Subject: [PATCH V2 5/5] cpufreq: unicore2: send new set of notification for transition failures
Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 11:04:16 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9ade5e83fda4f4e41cf1da87bb477a9fff98ca0.1385962178.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <a6668c7fa63d67ca33b9e59d0189cd99a2ddcd05.1385962178.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
In-Reply-To: <a6668c7fa63d67ca33b9e59d0189cd99a2ddcd05.1385962178.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org>
In the current code, if we fail during a frequency transition we simply send the
POSTCHANGE notification with old frequency. This isn't enough.
One of the core user of these notifications is the code responsible for keeping
loops_per_jiffy aligned with frequency change. And mostly it is written as:
if ((val == CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE && freq->old < freq->new) ||
(val == CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE && freq->old > freq->new)) {
update-loops-per-jiffy...
}
So, suppose we are changing to a higher frequency and failed during transition,
then following will happen:
- CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE notification with freq-new > freq-old
- CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notification with freq-new == freq-old
The first one will update loops_per_jiffy and second one will do nothing. Even
if we send the 2nd notification by exchanging values of freq-new and old, some
users of these notifications might get unstable.
This can be fixed by simply calling cpufreq_notify_post_transition() with error
code and this routine will take care of sending notifications in correct order.
Also it returns a proper error message in case frequency transition failed.
