* pm_qos: Get rid of the allocation in pm_qos_add_request()James Bottomley2010-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | All current users of pm_qos_add_request() have the ability to supply the memory required by the pm_qos routines, so make them do this and eliminate the kmalloc() with pm_qos_add_request(). This has the double benefit of making the call never fail and allowing it to be called from atomic context.

* pm_qos: Reimplement using plistsJames Bottomley2010-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of the pm_qos extremal value handling is really duplicating what a priority ordered list does, just in a less efficient fashion. Simply redoing the implementation in terms of a plist gets rid of a lot of this junk (although there are several other strange things that could do with tidying up, like pm_qos_request_list has to carry the pm_qos_class with every node, simply because it doesn't get passed in to pm_qos_update_request even though every caller knows full well what parameter it's updating). I think this redo is a win independent of android, so we should do something like this now.

* PM: PM QOS update fixMark Gross2010-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | This update handles a use case where pm_qos update requests need to silently fail if the update is being sent to a handle that is NULL. The problem was that the original pm_qos silently fails when a request update is passed to a parameter that has not been added to the list yet. This update restores that behavior.

* PM QOS updateMark Gross2010-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was used in the initial implementation. I did this because request more accurately represents what it actually does. Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string interface. So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be accepted by the interface. (someone asked me for it and I don't think it hurts anything.) This patch updates some documentation input I got from Randy. Signed-off-by: markgross <mgross@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
* pm_qos: clean up racy global "name" variableJonathan Corbet2009-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | "name" is a poor name for a file-global variable. It was used in three different functions, with no mutual exclusion. But it's just a tiny, temporary string; let's just move it onto the stack in the functions that need it. Also use snprintf() just in case.

* pm_qos: remove BKLJonathan Corbet2009-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pm_qos_power_open got its lock_kernel() calls from the open() pushdown. A look at the code shows that the only global resources accessed are pm_qos_array and "name". pm_qos_array doesn't change (things pointed to therein do change, but they are atomics and/or are protected by pm_qos_lock). Accesses to "name" are totally unprotected with or without the BKL; that will be fixed shortly. The BKL is not helpful here; take it out.

* pm_qos_requirement might sleepJohn Kacur2008-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel. The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this function is called from idle. CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings. Changing the target_value to an atomic avoids this issue. Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic type.

* pm qos infrastructure and interfaceMark Gross2008-02-05
The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter, and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos expectations of processes. This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on one of the parameters. Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as the initial set of pm_qos parameters. The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init() and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to abuse. For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values held in the parameter list elements. >From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple: pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value): Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different. pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value): Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered. pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name): Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement. >From user mode: Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register its parameter requirements in the following way: To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput] As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system call. To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32 value to the open device node. This translates to a pm_qos_update_requirement call. To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device node.
