[V2,4/5] cpufreq: Register notifiers with the PM QoS framework

Message ID e6969d79643c87af24895d508e5c6f7462b1c758.1550748118.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org

This registers the notifiers for min/max frequency constraints with the
PM QoS framework. The constraints are also taken into consideration in
cpufreq_set_policy().

This also relocates cpufreq_policy_put_kobj() as it is required to be
called from cpufreq_policy_alloc() now.

No constraints are added until now though.

Assuming for example min and max range from 1-10, and thermal throttles max to
5 using pm_qos to deal with temporary thermal pressure. But shortly after
a driver thinks that max shouldn't be greater than 7 for one reason or another.

What will happen after thermal pressure removes its constraint? Will we still
remember the driver's request and apply it so max is set to 7 instead of 10?

Thanks

Once everything comes via PM QoS, it will remember all the presently available
requests and choose a target min/max frequency based on that.

But even with this patchset, with half stuff done with PM QoS and half done with
cpufreq notifiers, it should still work that way only.

OK I can see the logic now in kernel/power/qos.c now. Sorry I missed it and it
was easier to ask :-)

And this is why we need to check here if the PM QoS value doesn't conflict with
the current min/max, right? Until the current notifier code is removed they
could trip over each others.

It would be nice to add a comment here about PM QoS managing and remembering
values and that we need to be careful that both mechanisms don't trip over
each others until this transient period is over.

I have a nit too. It would be nice to explicitly state this is
CPU_{MIN,MAX}_FREQUENCY. I can see someone else adding {MIN,MAX}_FREQUENCY for
something elsee (memory maybe?)

Although I looked at the previous series briefly, but this one looks more
compact and easier to follow, so +1 for that.

No. The above if/else block is already removed as part of patch 5/5. It was
required because of conflict between userspace specific min/max and qos min/max,
which are migrated to use qos by patc 5/5.

The cpufreq notifier mechanism already lets users play with min/max and that is
already safe from conflicts.

I am not sure if that would add any value. Some documentation update may be
useful for people looking for details though, that I shall do after all the
changes get in and things become a bit stable.

The second mechanism will die very very soon once this is merged, migrating them
shouldn't be a big challenge AFAICT. I didn't attempt that because I didn't
wanted to waste time updating things in case this version also doesn't make
sense to others.

This is not CPU specific, but any device. The same interface shall be used by
devfreq as well, who wanted to use freq-constraints initially.

Thanks for looking into this Qais.

Up to you. But not everyone is familiar with the code and a one line comment
that points to where aggregation is happening would be helpful for someone
scanning this code IMHO.

I don't get that to be honest. I probably have to read more.

Is what you're saying that when applying a MIN_FREQUENCY constraint the same
value will be applied to both cpufreq and devfreq? Isn't this too coarse?

Ah I see yes it all makes sense now.
