Still not convinced as of when '0' could represent a valid frequency and what that one would actually imply but I do not have that strong of an opinion here. > > In Patch 1 of this series we interpret 0 as "Unknown" on a x86 system though. So > for the sake of consistency should we consider 0 a valid value everywhere? Yes, but on the other hand, showing 'Unknown' could be skipped entirely here as the arch_freq_get_on_cpu for x86 is always providing a 'valid' frequency. The change here was just to make things somewhat sane. Note that the new attribute introduced in the following patch will utilise potential error values from arch_freq_get_on_cpu though. --- BR Beata > > Regards, > Vanshi > > > > > --- > > BR > > Beata > > > > > > > ret = sysfs_emit(buf, "%u\n", freq); > > > > else if (cpufreq_driver->setpolicy && cpufreq_driver->get) > > > > ret = sysfs_emit(buf, "%u\n", cpufreq_driver->get(policy->cpu)); > > > > diff --git a/include/linux/cpufreq.h b/include/linux/cpufreq.h > > > > index 7fe0981a7e46..02fd4746231d 100644 > > > > --- a/include/linux/cpufreq.h > > > > +++ b/include/linux/cpufreq.h > > > > @@ -1184,7 +1184,7 @@ static inline int of_perf_domain_get_sharing_cpumask(int pcpu, const char *list_ > > > > } > > > > #endif > > > > > > > > -extern unsigned int arch_freq_get_on_cpu(int cpu); > > > > +extern int arch_freq_get_on_cpu(int cpu); > > > > > > > > #ifndef arch_set_freq_scale > > > > static __always_inline > > > > -- > > > > 2.25.1 > > > > > > -- > > > viresh
