[PATCH net-next v4 00/27] Add support for PSE budget evaluation strategy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

This series brings support for budget evaluation strategy in the PSE
subsystem. PSE controllers can set priorities to decide which ports should
be turned off in case of special events like over-current.

I have added regulator maintainers to have their opinion on adding power
budget regulator constraint see patches 17 and 18.
There are also a core regulator change along the way patch 16.
I suppose I will need to merge them through the regulator tree.
Will it be possible to create an immutable tag to have this PSE series
based on them?

This patch series adds support for two budget evaluation strategy.
1. Static Method:

   This method involves distributing power based on PD classification.
   It’s straightforward and stable, the PSE core keeping track of the
   budget and subtracting the power requested by each PD’s class.

   Advantages: Every PD gets its promised power at any time, which
   guarantees reliability.

   Disadvantages: PD classification steps are large, meaning devices
   request much more power than they actually need. As a result, the power
   supply may only operate at, say, 50% capacity, which is inefficient and
   wastes money.

2. Dynamic Method:

   To address the inefficiencies of the static method, vendors like
   Microchip have introduced dynamic power budgeting, as seen in the
   PD692x0 firmware. This method monitors the current consumption per port
   and subtracts it from the available power budget. When the budget is
   exceeded, lower-priority ports are shut down.

   Advantages: This method optimizes resource utilization, saving costs.

   Disadvantages: Low-priority devices may experience instability.

The UAPI allows adding support for software port priority mode managed from
userspace later if needed.

The patch series is based on this fix merged in net:

Several Reviewed-by have been removed due to the changes.
