Re: [linux-pm] [RFC PATCH 1/2] thermal: Add a new trip type to use cooling device instance number

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

 



Hi Amit,

I'm not sure that using the trip index for setting the state of a
cooling device is a generic solution because you are adding a
dependency between the trip index and the cooling device state that
might be difficult to handle. This dependency implies that a cooling
device like cpufreq_cooling_device must be registered in the 1st trips
of a thermal_zone which is not possible when we want to register 2
cpufreq_cooling_devices in the same thermal_zone.
You should only rely on the current and last temperatures to detect if
a trip_temp has been crossed and you should increase or decrease the
current state of the cooling device accordingly.

something like below should work with cpufreq_cooling_device and will
not add any constraint on the trip index. The state of a cooling
device is increased/decreased once for each trip

+		case THERMAL_TRIP_STATE_ACTIVE:
+			list_for_each_entry(instance, &tz->cooling_devices,
+					    node) {
+				if (instance->trip != count)
+					continue;
+
+				cdev = instance->cdev;
+
+				if ((temp >= trip_temp)
+					&& (trip_temp > tz->last_temperature)) {
+					cdev->ops->get_max_state(cdev,
+							&max_state);
+					cdev->ops->get_cur_state(cdev,
+							&current_state);
+					if (++current_state <= max_state)
+						cdev->ops->set_cur_state(cdev,
+								current_state);
+				}
+				else if ((temp < trip_temp)
+					&& (trip_temp <= tz->last_temperature)) {
+					cdev->ops->get_cur_state(cdev,
+							&current_state);
+					if (current_state > 0)
+						cdev->ops->set_cur_state(cdev,
+								--current_state);
+			}
+			break;

Vincent
