There's no point to register the cpuidle driver for the current CPU, when the initialization of the arch specific back-end data fails by returning -ENXIO. Instead, let's re-order the sequence to its original flow, by first trying to initialize the back-end part and then act accordingly on the returned error code. Additionally, let's print the error message, no matter of what error code that was returned. Signed-off-by: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Note, as far as I can tell it's only qcom-spm that may return -ENXIO, which also was original reason to why this error path was invented. Unfurtunate I don't have a qcom spm platfrom at hand, however I manually tried this by hacking the PSCI driver to return -ENXIO for some CPUs. So I assume it should then also work for qcom spm. --- drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-arm.c | 22 ++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-arm.c b/drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-arm.c index 073557f433eb..df564d783216 100644 --- a/drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-arm.c +++ b/drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-arm.c @@ -103,13 +103,6 @@ static int __init arm_idle_init_cpu(int cpu) goto out_kfree_drv; } - ret = cpuidle_register_driver(drv); - if (ret) { - if (ret != -EBUSY) - pr_err("Failed to register cpuidle driver\n"); - goto out_kfree_drv; - } - /* * Call arch CPU operations in order to initialize * idle states suspend back-end specific data @@ -117,15 +110,20 @@ static int __init arm_idle_init_cpu(int cpu) ret = arm_cpuidle_init(cpu); /* - * Skip the cpuidle device initialization if the reported + * Allow the initialization to continue for other CPUs, if the reported * failure is a HW misconfiguration/breakage (-ENXIO). */ - if (ret == -ENXIO) - return 0; - if (ret) { pr_err("CPU %d failed to init idle CPU ops\n", cpu); - goto out_unregister_drv; + ret = ret == -ENXIO ? 0 : ret; + goto out_kfree_drv; + } + + ret = cpuidle_register_driver(drv); + if (ret) { + if (ret != -EBUSY) + pr_err("Failed to register cpuidle driver\n"); + goto out_kfree_drv; } dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*dev), GFP_KERNEL); -- 2.17.1
