[RFC]: [PATCH] Export cpuidle_(un)register_governor

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

 



Hi all!

This patch exports cpuidle_register_governor and cpuidle_unregister_governor
with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL (as the other cpuidle_(un)register_* ).

Reasoning: allow runtime loading of a cpuidle governor (mainly for
development for now).

Usually we don't need this as we're using built-ins for the governors - but
during developments it is really handy to load and unload a cpuidle governor
(together with the cpuidle_sysfs_switch).

Comments ?

Best,
Jan-Simon
