Re: [PATCH V8 1/8] PM / devfreq: Add cpu based scaling support to passive_governor

[Chanwoo Choi]

Hi,

You are missing to add these patches to linux-pm mailing list.
Need to send them to linu-pm ML.

Also, before received this series, I tried to clean-up these patches
on testing branch[1]. So that I add my comment with my clean-up case.

As I knew, the previous version has the description of structure
as following:  I wan to add the description like below.

And if you have no any objection, I'd like you to order
the variables as following and use 'dev' instead of 'cpu_dev'
because this patch use the 'cpu_state->cpu_dev' at the multiple points.
I think that 'cpu_state->dev' is better than 'cpu_state->cpu_dev'.
Also, I prefer to use 'cur_freq' instead of 'curr_freq'
because devfreq subsystem uses 'cur_freq' for expressing the 'current frequency'.

As you knew, governor_passive.c was already used 
both 'dev_pm_opp_xlate_required_opp' and 'devfreq_recommended_opp'
to get the target from OPP. So, I wan to make the common function
like 'get_taget_freq_by_required_opp' as following:
If define 'get_taget_freq_by_required_opp' as following,
it will be used for get_target_freq_with_devfreq().
After finisied the review of this patch, I'll send the patch[2].
[2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chanwoo/linux.git/commit/?h=devfreq-testing-passive-gov&id=101c5a087586ab2b5cf3370166a7e39227ca83cf

For example but this code is not tested,
static unsigned long get_taget_freq_by_required_opp(struct device *p_dev,
						struct opp_table *p_opp_table,
						struct opp_table *opp_table,
						unsigned long freq)

	struct dev_pm_opp *opp = NULL, *p_opp = NULL;

	if (!p_dev || !p_opp_table || !opp_table || !freq)
		return 0;

	p_opp = devfreq_recommended_opp(p_dev, &freq, 0);
	if (IS_ERR(p_opp))
		return 0;

	opp = dev_pm_opp_xlate_required_opp(p_opp_table, opp_table, p_opp);
	dev_pm_opp_put(p_opp);

	if (IS_ERR(opp))
		return 0;

	freq = dev_pm_opp_get_freq(opp);
	dev_pm_opp_put(opp);

	return freq;
}

	struct devfreq_passive_data *p_data =

	struct devfreq_cpu_data *cpu_data;
	unsigned long cpu, cpu_cur, cpu_min, cpu_max, cpu_percent;
	unsigned long dev_min, dev_max;
	unsigned long freq = 0;

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
		cpu_data = p_data->cpu_data[cpu];
		if (!cpu_data || cpu_data->first_cpu != cpu)
			continue;

		/* Get target freq via required opps */
		cpu_cur = cpu_data->cur_freq * HZ_PER_KHZ;
		freq = get_taget_freq_by_required_opp(cpu_data->dev,
					cpu_data->opp_table,

			*target_freq = max(freq, *target_freq);
			continue;
		}

		devfreq_get_freq_range(devfreq, &dev_min, &dev_max);

		freq = dev_min + mult_frac(dev_max - dev_min, cpu_percent, 100);

		*target_freq = max(freq, *target_freq);
	}

	return 0;

Use 'freqs' variable name.  I prefer to use the same variable name
for both devfreq_freqs and cpufreq_freqs instance.

As I commented above, better to use 'cur_frq' instead of 'curr_freq'
if there is no any special reason.

I think that this commnet is not critial. So, please drop this comment.

I recommend to use 'devfreq_update_target' instead of 'update_devfreq'
as following:
	devfreq_update_target(devfreq, freqs->new);

In order to keep the consistent style of function name,
please change the name as following because devfreq defines
the function name as 'devfreq_regiter_notifier'
- cpufreq_passive_register -> cpufreq_passive_register_notifier

Use dev_err_probe() funciotn to handle hte EPROBE_DEFER.
It make code more simple.

Instead of the separate functions, just add the code
into devfreq_passive_event_handler.
