[PATCH v2 1/6] OPP: Fix support for required OPPs for multiple PM domains

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

 



It has turned out that having _set_required_opps() to recursively call
dev_pm_opp_set_opp() to set the required OPPs, doesn't really work as well
as we expected.

More precisely, at each recursive call to dev_pm_opp_set_opp() we are
changing the OPP for a genpd's OPP table for a device that has been
attached to it. The problem with this, is that we may have several devices
being attached to the same genpd, thus sharing the same OPP-table that is
being used for their required OPPs. So, typically we may have several
active requests simultaneously for different OPPs for a genpd's OPP table.
This may lead to that the per device vote for a performance-state
(opp-level) for a genpd doesn't get requested accordingly.

Moreover, dev_pm_opp_set_opp() doesn't get called for a required OPP when a
device has been attached to a single PM domain. Even if a consumer driver
would attempt to assign the required-devs, via _opp_attach_genpd() or
_opp_set_required_devs() it would not be possible, as there is no separate
virtual device at hand to use in this case.

The above said, let's fix the problem by replacing the call to
dev_pm_opp_set_opp() in _set_required_opps() by a call to _set_opp_level().
At the moment there's no drawback doing this, as there is no need to manage
anything but the performance-state of the genpd. If it later turns out that
another resource needs to be managed for a required-OPP, it can still be
extended without having to call dev_pm_opp_set_opp().
