[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 development it is really handy to load and unload a cpuidle governor 
(together with the cpuidle_sysfs_switch). 

Comments ? 

Best, 
Jan-Simon
