Re: [PATCH v3 1/7] ACPI/PPTT: Add Processor Properties Topology Table parsing

From: Tomasz Nowicki
Date: Tue Oct 17 2017 - 09:25:46 EST


Hi Jeremy,

I did second round of review and have some more comments, please see below:

On 12.10.2017 21:48, Jeremy Linton wrote:
ACPI 6.2 adds a new table, which describes how processing units
are related to each other in tree like fashion. Caches are
also sprinkled throughout the tree and describe the properties
of the caches in relation to other caches and processing units.

Add the code to parse the cache hierarchy and report the total
number of levels of cache for a given core using
acpi_find_last_cache_level() as well as fill out the individual
cores cache information with cache_setup_acpi() once the
cpu_cacheinfo structure has been populated by the arch specific
code.

Further, report peers in the topology using setup_acpi_cpu_topology()
to report a unique ID for each processing unit at a given level
in the tree. These unique id's can then be used to match related
processing units which exist as threads, COD (clusters
on die), within a given package, etc.

The function name can be more descriptive. How about:

acpi_count_cache_level() ?

+{
+ int number_of_levels = 0;
+ struct acpi_pptt_processor *cpu;
+
+ cpu = acpi_find_processor_node(table_hdr, acpi_cpu_id);
+ if (cpu)
+ number_of_levels = acpi_process_node(table_hdr, cpu);
+
+ return number_of_levels;
+}

It is hard to follow what acpi_find_cache_level() and acpi_pptt_walk_cache() really do. It is because they are trying to do too many things at the same time. IMO, splitting acpi_find_cache_level() logic to:
1. counting the cache levels (max depth)
2. finding the specific cache node
makes sense.

Also, seems like we can merge acpi_parse_pptt() & acpi_process_node().

Here are my suggestions:

Did not compile the code so I may have missed somthing.
