[PATCH 3.10 09/89] cpuidle / menu: Return (-1) if there are no suitable states

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

 



3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3836785a1bdcd6706c68ad46bf53adc0b057b310 upstream.

If there is a PM QoS latency limit and all of the sufficiently shallow
C-states are disabled, the cpuidle menu governor returns 0 which on
some systems is CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START and shouldn't be returned
if that C-state has been disabled.

Fix the issue by modifying the menu governor to return (-1) in such
situations.

[shilpab: Backport to 3.10.y
 - adjust context
 - add a check if 'next_state' is less than 0 in 'cpuidle_idle_call()',
   this ensures that we exit 'cpuidle_idle_call()' if governor->select()
   returns  negative value]
