Why don't you add notifier chain to devfreq.c, which can be used by anyone else as well, and use that notifier for passive governor? You may refer to "cpufreq_register_notifier()" with CPUFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER. > diff --git a/drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c b/drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c > new file mode 100644 Then, utilizing notifier-block at governor_passive.c becomes possible. You will also be able to write any frequency deciding code inside governor_passive.c as well, not in devfreq.c. > diff --git a/include/linux/devfreq.h b/include/linux/devfreq.h > index 6fa02a20eb63..95c54578a1b4 100644 > --- a/include/linux/devfreq.h > +++ b/include/linux/devfreq.h > @@ -177,6 +177,9 @@ struct devfreq { > unsigned int *trans_table; > unsigned long *time_in_state; > unsigned long last_stat_updated; > + > + struct list_head passive_dev_list; > + struct list_head passive_node; > }; You will need only one notifier head here. > > #if defined(CONFIG_PM_DEVFREQ) > @@ -241,6 +244,18 @@ struct devfreq_simple_ondemand_data { > }; > #endif > > +/** > + * struct devfreq_passive_data - void *data fed to struct devfreq > + * and devfreq_add_device > + * @parent: The parent devfreq device. > + * > + * If the fed devfreq_passive_data pointer is NULL to the governor, > + * the governor return ERROR. > + */ > +struct devfreq_passive_data { > + struct devfreq *parent; > +}; > + Please enclose the above with #if > #else /* !CONFIG_PM_DEVFREQ */ > static inline struct devfreq *devfreq_add_device(struct device *dev, > struct devfreq_dev_profile *profile, > -- > 1.9.1 > ��.n��������+%������w��{.n����z�{��ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
