[patch 2/3] cpuidle hang fix

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

 



From: Venki Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@xxxxxxxxx>

Prevent hang on x86-64, when ACPI processor driver is added as a module on
a system that does not support C-states.

x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from
idle handler.  This is due to enter_idle(), exit_idle() races.  Make
cpuidle_idle_call() confirm to this when there is no pm_idle_old.

Also, cpuidle look at the return values of attch_driver() and set
current_driver to NULL if attach fails on all CPUs.
