Currently, when sync_state calls set(n, n) all the paths for setting
parameters on an icc node are called twice. Avoid that.

RFC comes from the fact that I *believe* this should be correct, but I'm
not entirely sure about it..

Is it possible for src_qn == dst_qn ?
As the commit message says, sync_state calls set(n, n) in
drivers/interconnect/core.c : icc_sync_state(struct device *dev)

So you've _seen_ that happen ?


Assuming you have, then why isn't the fix in sync_state i.e. that's an error for everybody right ?
I believe that there's simply no other way of updating every single node
on its own with the icc api, without taking any links into play. But I
see exynos and i.mx also effectively calling it twice on each node.

Konrad

I mean. I'm fine for you to retain my RB on this qcom specific patch since this seems like a real bug to me but... it seems like a generic bug across arches that should probably be resolved @ the higher level.

?
I suppose we could change the set(n, n) in sync_state to be set(n, NULL)
and enforce parameter null-checking on all provider->set functions. Do
I understand this correctly?

void icc_sync_state(struct device *dev)

struct icc_provider *p;
struct icc_node *n;
static int count;

count++;

if (count < providers_count)
return;

mutex_lock(&icc_lock);
synced_state = true;
list_for_each_entry(p, &icc_providers, provider_list) {

}
}
}

}

I mean p->set(n,n); is done like this since forever. Now that you draw attention to it, it doesn't make much sense to me..
