I can't tell how serious this bug is. We can certainly mark it for stable, but unless this is a significant regression, I'd apply it for 3.11 instead and wait for the backports to happen. Arnd

The periodic tick is IIRC, 100Hz, so 10ms, the same value as the idle state1 target residency, the governor won't use this state in any case because the next scheduled event occurs before the target residency. If it would have been, let's say, 8.5ms, or the periodic tick 50Hz, then it would have been picked up. > So I suspect Arnd and Olof would not take it for 3.10-fixes... > > Guys, you thoughts? > > >>>> BTW, I am surpised with a sam926*, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y is not in the default >>>> config. >>> >>> Yes, indeed: we have to consider it. >>> >>> Best regards, >>> >>>>>> Fix it by setting the value to 10ms again. >>>>>> >>>>>> Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org> >>>>> >>>>> Acked-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> >>>>> >>>>>> --- >>>>>> arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c | 2 +- >>>>>> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >>>>>> >>>>>> diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c >>>>>> b/arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c >>>>>> index 69f9e3b..4ec6a6d 100644 >>>>>> --- a/arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c >>>>>> +++ b/arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c >>>>>> @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ static struct cpuidle_driver at91_idle_driver = { >>>>>> .states[1] = { >>>>>> .enter = at91_enter_idle, >>>>>> .exit_latency = 10, >>>>>> - .target_residency = 100000, >>>>>> + .target_residency = 10000, >>>>>> .flags = CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID, >>>>>> .name = "RAM_SR", >>>>>> .desc = "WFI and DDR Self Refresh", >>>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>> >>>> >>> >>> >> >> > >

Ok, this is not a critical bug. The regression makes the idle state1 to enter less often, thus consuming a bit more power with a tickless system, but nothing leading to a crash or an unstable system.
