[PATCHv4 11/15] Thermal: Introduce a step_wise thermal governor

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

 



This patch adds a simple step_wise governor to the
generic thermal layer. This algorithm throttles the
cooling devices in a linear fashion. If the 'trend'
is heating, it throttles by one step. And if the
thermal trend is cooling it de-throttles by one step.

This actually moves the throttling logic from thermal_sys.c
and puts inside step_wise.c, without any change.

 * This patch is a modified version of v4 series submitted here:
   http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg37375.html
 * This patch removes the Kconfig option to always select
   step_wise as default governor.
 * I will submit a separate patch to let the user select
   a default thermal governor like how it is being done
   for cpufreq governors.
