From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> The C-state idle time is not calculated correctly, which will return the wrong residency time in C-state. It will have the following effects: 1. The system can't choose the deeper C-state when it is idle next time. Of course the system power is increased. E.g. On one server machine about 40W idle power is increased. 2. The powertop shows that it will stay in C0 running state about 95% time although the system is idle at most time. 2.6.35-rc1 regression caused-by: 2da513f582a96c053aacc2c92873978d2ea7abff (ACPI: Minor cleanup eliminating redundant PMTIMER_TICKS to NS conversion) Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Yu Zhidong <zhidong.yu@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Yu Zhidong <zhidong.yu@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c index 2e8c27d..6b38a6b 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c @@ -1022,7 +1022,7 @@ static int acpi_idle_enter_bm(struct cpuidle_device *dev, spin_unlock(&c3_lock); } kt2 = ktime_get_real(); - idle_time_ns = ktime_to_us(ktime_sub(kt2, kt1)); + idle_time_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_sub(kt2, kt1)); idle_time = idle_time_ns; do_div(idle_time, NSEC_PER_USEC); -- 1.6.0.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
