[PATCH 0/2] ARM: cpuidle: bug fix and a trivial improvement

[Jisheng Zhang]

There's one corner case need to be fixed: !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init.
patch1 tries to address this corner case.

patch2 tries to improve arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit by moving .suspend
check into arm_cpuidle_init().

[PATCH 1/2] ARM: cpuidle: fix !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init case during init

[Jisheng Zhang]

Let's assume cpuidle_ops exists but it doesn't implement the according
init member, current arm_cpuidle_init() will return success to its
caller, but in fact it should return -EOPNOTSUPP.

Hi Jisheng,

this should be handled in the arm_cpuidle_read_ops function.

Thanks for reviewing. After some consideration, I think this patch isn't correct
There may be platforms which doesn't need the init member at all, although
currently I don't see such platforms in mainline, So I'll drop this patch
and send out one v2 only does the optimization.

Thanks a lot,

There is an inconsistency between ARM and ARM64. The 'cpu_get_ops', the 
arm_cpuidle_read_ops from the ARM64 side, returns -EOPNOTSUPP when the 
init function is not there for cpuidle.

I don't think it is a problem, but as ARM/ARM64 are sharing the same 
cpuidle-arm.c driver it would make sense to unify the behavior between 
both archs.

yes.
arm64's arm_cpuidle_init() returns -EOPNOTSUPP if init callback isn't defined

yes, agree with you. From "unify" point of view, could I move back the suspend
callback check and init callback check into arm_cpuidle_init() for arm as V1 does?

Thanks for reviewing,

Why ? To be consistent with ARM64 ?

Well, I don't have a strong opinion on that. ARM64 cpu_ops is slightly 
different from cpuidle_ops as the cpu boot / hotplug operations are 
placed in a different place and that explains why on ARM64 we can have 
an successful 'get_ops' because we use the partially filled structure. 
On ARM, it is cpuidle_ops only, so we can gracefully fail if the ops are 
not defined.

IMO, it still make sense to keep the checks in arm_cpuidle_read_ops for ARM.

Got your points. I'll send a v3 to add init check. These checks will be
in arm_cpuidle_read_ops.

I agree and I think it makes sense to have an arm back-end that fails
if there is no cpuidle_ops.init function registered, I doubt any
usage of the cpuidle_ops.suspend is reasonable if it was not
initialized by a corresponding cpuidle_ops.init at boot, at least
that's how I see it working, I am open to other point of views.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

[PATCH 2/2] ARM: cpuidle: make arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit more efficient

[Jisheng Zhang]

Currently, we check cpuidle_ops.suspend every time when entering a
low-power idle state. But this check could be avoided in this hot path
by moving it into arm_cpuidle_init() to reduce arm_cpuidle_suspend()
overhead a bit.

I agree with the optimization but, same comment than the previous patch, 
it should be handled in arm_cpuidle_read_ops.
